2023 New York Laws › ACA - Arts and Cultural Affairs › Title G - Regulation of Sale of Theatre Tickets › Article 25 - Tickets to Places of Entertainment › 25.07 - Ticket Prices.

* § 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 sale
  or  resale  of  tickets  shall  disclose  the  total cost of the ticket,
  inclusive of all ancillary fees that must be paid in order  to  purchase
  the  ticket,  and disclose in a clear and conspicuous manner the portion
  of the ticket price stated in dollars that represents a service  charge,
  or  any  other fee or surcharge to the purchaser. Such disclosure of the
  total cost and fees shall be displayed in the ticket  listing  prior  to
  the  ticket being selected for purchase. Disclosures of subtotals, fees,
  charges, and any other component of the total price shall not  be  false
  or  misleading, and may not be presented more prominently or in the same
  or larger size as the total price. The price of  the  ticket  shall  not
  increase  during the purchase process, excluding reasonable fees for the
  delivery of non-electronic tickets based on the delivery method selected
  by the purchaser, which shall be disclosed prior  to  accepting  payment
  therefor.  Nothing  in  this  subdivision shall be construed to nullify,
  expand, restrict, or otherwise amend or  modify  now  existing  laws  or
  regulations  outside  of  this  article, and nothing in this subdivision
  shall be construed  as  making  lawful  any  fraudulent,  deceptive,  or
  illegal  act  or practice that is unlawful pursuant to now existing laws
  or regulations.

* § 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.
