Is it true that the Better Online Ticket Sales (BOTS) Act of 2016 makes it illegal to use software to circumvent ticket purchase limits on online ticketing sites?

Yes. The FTC's own compliance guidance states the BOTS Act prohibits circumventing a ticket issuer's security measures or purchasing rules, including bypassing maximum ticket purchase limits through technological means, and a Wikipedia reference work confirms the Act was created specifically to prohibit circumvention of ticket sellers' purchase control measures.
