* § 25.07. Ticket   prices.   1.   Every   operator   of  a  place  of   entertainment shall, if a price be charged for admission thereto,  print   or endorse on the face of each such ticket the established price, or the   final auction price if such ticket was sold or resold by auction through   the operator or its agent.2.  Notwithstanding  any  other  provision of law, any person, firm or   corporation, regardless of whether or not licensed under  this  article,   that  resells  tickets  or  facilitates  the resale or resale auction of   tickets between independent parties by any means, must guarantee to each   purchaser of such resold tickets that the person,  firm  or  corporation   will  provide  a  full  refund  of  the  amount  paid  by  the purchaser   (including,  but  not  limited  to,  all   fees,   regardless   of   how   characterized)  if  any of the following occurs: (a) the event for which   such ticket has been resold is cancelled, provided that if the event  is   cancelled then actual handling and delivery fees need not be refunded as   long  as  such  previously  disclosed guarantee specifies that such fees   will not be refunded; (b) the ticket received by the purchaser does  not   grant  the purchaser admission to the event described on the ticket, for   reasons that  may  include,  without  limitation,  that  the  ticket  is   counterfeit  or  that the ticket has been cancelled by the issuer due to   non-payment, or that the event described on the ticket was cancelled for   any reason prior to purchase of the resold ticket, unless the ticket  is   cancelled due to an act or omission by such purchaser; or (c) the ticket   fails  to  conform to its description as advertised unless the buyer has   pre-approved a substitution of tickets.3. Prior to the payment of a refund it shall be the obligation of  the   seller  and  purchaser  to  first make a good faith effort to remedy any   disputes where the seller and purchaser have agreed to terms established   by the licensee or website manager for the disposition of disputes as  a   condition to facilitate the transaction.4. Every operator or operator's agent of a place of entertainment, any   licensee  or  other  ticket  reseller  or  platform that facilitates the   resale of tickets shall disclose in a clear and conspicuous  manner  the   total  price of the ticket and the portion of the ticket price stated in   dollars that represents a service charge, or any other fee or  surcharge   prior to accepting payment therefor.* NB Effective until July 1, 2022* § 25.07. Bond.  The  commissioner  shall require the applicant for a   license to file with the application therefor a bond in due form to  the   people  of  the political subdivision in which such license is issued in   the penal sum of one thousand  dollars,  with  two  or  more  sufficient   sureties  or  a  duly  authorized  surety  company,  which bond shall be   approved by such commissioner. Each such bond shall be conditioned  that   the  obligor  will  not  be  guilty  of any fraud or extortion, will not   violate directly or indirectly any of the provisions of this article  or   any of the provisions of the license or certificate provided for in this   article,  will  comply  with the provisions of this article and will pay   all damages occasioned to any person  by  reason  of  any  misstatement,   misrepresentation,  fraud  or  deceit or any unlawful act or omission of   such obligor, his agents or employees, while acting within the scope  of   their  employment,  made,  committed  or  omitted in connection with the   provisions of this article in the business conducted under such  license   or  caused  by  any  other  violation of this article in carrying on the   business for which such license is granted. Such commissioner shall keep   books wherein shall  be  entered  in  alphabetical  order  all  licenses   granted  and  all bonds received by him as provided for in this article,   the date of the issuance of such license and the filing of  such  bonds,   which  record  shall  be open to public inspection. A suit to recover on    the bond required to be filed by the provisions of this article  may  be   brought  in the name of the person damaged, upon the bond deposited with   the political subdivision  by  such  licensed  person,  in  a  court  of   competent  jurisdiction.  The amount of damages claimed by the plaintiff   and not the penalty named in the bond shall determine  the  jurisdiction   of  the  court in which the action is brought. One or more recoveries or   payments upon such bond shall not vitiate the same but such  bond  shall   remain  in  full force and effect, provided, however, that the aggregate   amount of all such recoveries or payments shall not exceed the penal sum   thereof. Upon the commencement of any  action  or  actions  against  the   surety upon any such bond for a sum or sums aggregating or exceeding the   amount  of such bond the commissioner shall require a new and additional   bond in like amount as the original one, which shall be filed  with  the   commissioner  within  thirty  days after the demand therefor. Failure to   file such bond  within  such  period  shall  constitute  cause  for  the   revocation  of  the license theretofore issued to the licensee upon whom   such demand shall have been made. Any suit or action against the  surety   on  any  bond  required  by  the  provisions  of  this  section shall be   commenced within one year after the cause of action shall have accrued.* NB Effective July 1, 2022
