Step 1 - Get a bunch on foreigners working for you to log in through a US proxy and order the tix manually. Step 2 - Resell for profit. Way to go Congress, you've just created a new industry that is marginally less profitable than the old one, and involves hiring foreign people in foreign countries.

> Step 2 - Resell for profit. From the bill itself: > (1) IN GENERAL.—Except as provided in paragraph (2), it shall be unlawful for any person— > (A) to circumvent a security measure, access control system, or other technological control or measure on an Internet website or online service that is used by the ticket issuer to enforce posted event ticket purchasing limits or to maintain the integrity of posted online ticket purchasing order rules; or > (B) to sell or offer to sell any event ticket in interstate commerce obtained in violation of subparagraph (A) if the person selling or offering to sell the ticket either— > (i) participated directly in or had the ability to control the conduct in violation of subparagraph (A); or > (ii) knew or should have known that the event ticket was acquired in violation of subparagraph (A). Unless they outsource even the selling to foreign countries, at which point what good are they as a middleman anyway?
