A registered ticket broker reselling event tickets in New Jersey files a $10,000 bond with the Division of Consumer Affairs. Ours is $300 flat — 3% of the bond amount, the same for every broker — and there is no credit check on this bond.
















Registration bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit check section.
Fixed-amount bonds like this are among the thousands that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your ticket-broker registration through the Division of Consumer Affairs. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$10,000 bond × 3% = $300, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
New Jersey regulates the resale of event tickets under its consumer-protection law (N.J.S.A. 56:8-33 et seq.), administered by the Division of Consumer Affairs. A registered ticket broker or agent who resells tickets above face value must register and file a bond.
The bond is a consumer-protection guarantee. It is conditioned on the broker’s compliance with the ticket-resale law — including the limit on resale premiums — and on the payment of damages to any person harmed by misrepresentation, fraud, deceit, or other unlawful act in the licensed business, and a promise that the broker and its agents won’t engage in fraud or extortion.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The $10,000 amount is set by statute, so every registered ticket broker files the same bond. We track it and notify you ahead of renewal so your registration never lapses.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
