  all times keep full and accurate sets of records showing: (a) the prices
  at which all tickets have been bought and sold by such licensee; and (b)
  the names and addresses of the person, firm  or  corporation  from  whom
  they  were  bought. Operators offering for initial sale tickets by means
  of an auction shall maintain a record of the price when  known  and  the
  number  of  tickets  and  types  of seats offered through auction. These
  records shall be made available  upon  request  to  the  state  attorney
  general,  the  secretary  of  state, or other governmental body with the
  express authority to enforce any  section  of  this  article;  provided,
  however,  that  the  records  required  to be maintained by this section
  shall be considered proprietary in nature and shall be governed  by  the
  protections  set forth in subdivision five of section eighty-nine of the
  public officers law. These records shall be retained for a period of not
  less than ten years.
2. Twice annually, on June thirtieth and December thirty-first,  every
  licensee  that  resells  tickets  or  facilitates  the  resale or resale
  auction of tickets between independent parties  by  any  and  all  means
  shall report to the department of state the total number of, and average
  resale  or  average  final  resale auction price of, all tickets to each
  ticketed event, provided, however, that repeat performances of a  single
  event,  and  multiple  events that are part of a season-long performance
  shall be treated as a single event for the  purposes  of  the  reporting
  requirement of this subdivision. The information required to be reported
  by  this  section shall be considered proprietary in nature and shall be
  governed by the protections set forth in  subdivision  five  of  section
  eighty-nine  of  the  public officers law, and shall be used exclusively
  for analytical purposes by the department of state.
