e스포츠 경기 입장권 재판매 규제에 관한 법적 연구

Ticket resale has become a societal issue largely because illegal programs like macros are used to purchase tickets in bulk, which are then resold at prices higher than face value, allowing resellers to gain unfair profits. This situation infringes on consumers' right to purchase tickets fairly and often forces them to buy tickets at inflated prices, leading to financial losses. While unauthorized ticket sales are prohibited by law in many fields such as concerts, musicals, and professional sports, there are currently no regulations addressing ticket resale in esports. This lack of regulation infringes upon the rights of esports spectators and negatively impacts the industry as a whole. This paper aims to examine the current state of relevant laws in South Korea and analyze ticket-related legislation in the United States, a leader in the sports and entertainment industries. By doing so, it seeks to propose amendments to esports laws and policy measures regarding the resale of esports tickets, with the goal of fostering the mutual growth of esports consumers and the esports industry.
