15 S 25.15. Bond. The secretary of state shall require the applicant for
16 a license to file with the application therefor a bond in due form to
17 the people of New York in the penal sum of twenty-five thousand dollars,
18 with two or more sufficient sureties or a duly authorized surety compa-
19 ny, which bond shall be approved by the secretary of state. Each such
20 bond shall be conditioned that the obligor will not be guilty of any
21 fraud or extortion, will not violate directly or indirectly any of the
22 provisions of this article or any of the provisions of the license or
23 certificate provided for in this article, will comply with the
24 provisions of this article and will pay all damages occasioned to any

28 committed or omitted in connection with the provisions of this article
29 in the business conducted under such license or caused by any other
30 violation of this article in carrying on the business for which such
31 license is granted. [A suit to recover on the bond required to be filed
32 by the provisions of this article may be brought in the name of the
33 person damaged, upon the bond deposited with the department of state by
34 such licensed person, in a court of competent jurisdiction. The amount
35 of damages claimed by the plaintiff and not the penalty named in the
36 bond shall determine the jurisdiction of the court in which the action
37 is brought.] One or more recoveries or payments upon such bond shall not
38 vitiate the same but such bond shall remain in full force and effect,
39 provided, however, that the aggregate amount of all such recoveries or
40 payments shall not exceed the penal sum thereof. BEFORE THE SECRETARY
41 SHALL DRAW UPON SUCH BOND, THE SECRETARY SHALL ISSUE A DETERMINATION IN
42 WRITING WHICH SHALL INCLUDE THE BASIS OF SUCH ACTION. THE SECRETARY
43 SHALL NOTIFY IN WRITING THE LICENSEE OF ANY SUCH DETERMINATION AND SHALL
44 AFFORD THE LICENSEE AN OPPORTUNITY TO RESPOND WITHIN TWENTY DAYS OF THE
45 RECEIPT OF SUCH DETERMINATION. IN NO EVENT MAY THE BOND BE DRAWN UPON IN

47 LICENSEE. SUCH WRITTEN NOTICE MAY BE SERVED BY DELIVERY THEREOF
48 PERSONALLY TO THE LICENSEE, OR BY CERTIFIED MAIL TO THE LAST KNOWN BUSI-
49 NESS ADDRESS OF SUCH LICENSEE. ONLY UPON SUCH DETERMINATION OF THE
50 SECRETARY SHALL MONEYS BE WITHDRAWN FROM THE BOND. Upon the commencement
51 of any action or actions against the surety upon any such bond for a sum
52 or sums aggregating or exceeding the amount of such bond the secretary
53 of state shall require a new and additional bond in like amount as the
54 original one, which shall be filed with the department of state within
55 thirty days after the demand therefor. Failure to file such bond within
56 such period shall constitute cause for the revocation of the license
S. 8413 3

5 shall have accrued.

2 AND SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE PROTECTIONS SET FORTH IN SUBDIVISION FIVE
3 OF SECTION EIGHTY-NINE OF THE PUBLIC OFFICERS LAW, AND SHALL BE USED
4 EXCLUSIVELY FOR ANALYTICAL PURPOSES BY THE CONSUMER PROTECTION BOARD.
5 S 7. Subdivision 1 of section 25.29 of the arts and cultural affairs
6 law, as amended by chapter 61 of the laws of 2007, is amended to read as
7 follows:
8 1. No operator of any place of entertainment, or his or her agent,
9 representative, employee or licensee shall, if a price be charged for
10 admission thereto, exact, demand, accept or receive, directly or indi-
11 rectly, any premium or price in excess of the established price plus
12 lawful taxes whether designated as price, gratuity or otherwise;
13 provided, however: (a) nothing in this article shall be construed to
14 prohibit a REASONABLE service charge by the operator or agents of the
15 operator for special services, including but not limited to, sales away
16 from the box office, credit card sales or delivery; and (b) nothing in
17 this article shall be construed to prohibit an operator or its agent
18 from offering for initial sale tickets by means of an auction.
19 S 8. Section 25.30 of the arts and cultural affairs law, as added by
20 chapter 61 of the laws of 2007, is amended to read as follows:
21 S 25.30. Operator prohibitions. 1. A ticket is a license, issued by
22 the operator of a place of entertainment, for admission to the place of
23 entertainment at the date and time specified on the ticket, subject to
24 the terms and conditions as specified by the operator. Notwithstanding
25 any other provision of law to the contrary, it shall be prohibited for
26 any operator of a place of entertainment, [who offers for sale
27 subscription or season ticket packages] OR OPERATOR'S AGENT, to:
28 (A) restrict by any means the resale of any tickets included in [the]
29 A subscription or season ticket package as a condition of purchase, as a
30 condition to retain such tickets for the duration of the subscription or
31 season ticket package agreement, or as a condition to retain any
32 contractually agreed upon rights to purchase future subscription or
33 season ticket packages that are otherwise conferred in the subscription
34 or season ticket agreement[. Furthermore, it shall be prohibited for any
35 operator of a place of entertainment to];
36 (B) deny access to a ticket holder who possesses a resold subscription
37 or season ticket to a performance based solely on the grounds that such
38 ticket has been resold[.]; OR
39 (C) EMPLOY A PAPERLESS TICKETING SYSTEM UNLESS THE CONSUMER IS GIVEN
40 AN OPTION TO PURCHASE PAPERLESS TICKETS THAT THE CONSUMER CAN TRANSFER
41 AT ANY PRICE, AND AT ANY TIME, AND WITHOUT ADDITIONAL FEES, INDEPENDENT
42 OF THE OPERATOR OR OPERATOR'S AGENT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, AN
43 OPERATOR OR OPERATOR'S AGENT MAY EMPLOY A PAPERLESS TICKETING SYSTEM
44 THAT DOES NOT ALLOW FOR INDEPENDENT TRANSFERABILITY OF PAPERLESS TICKETS
45 ONLY IF THE CONSUMER IS OFFERED AN OPTION AT THE TIME OF INITIAL SALE TO
46 PURCHASE THE SAME TICKETS IN SOME OTHER FORM THAT IS TRANSFERRABLE INDE-
47 PENDENT OF THE OPERATOR OR OPERATOR'S AGENT INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED
48 TO, PAPER TICKETS OR E-TICKETS. THE ESTABLISHED PRICE FOR ANY GIVEN
49 TICKET SHALL BE THE SAME REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OR TRANSFERABILITY OF
50 SUCH TICKET. THE ABILITY FOR A TICKET TO BE TRANSFERRED INDEPENDENT OF
51 THE OPERATOR OR OPERATOR'S AGENT SHALL NOT CONSTITUTE A SPECIAL SERVICE
52 FOR THE PURPOSE OF IMPOSING A SERVICE CHARGE PURSUANT TO SECTION 25.29
53 OF THIS ARTICLE.
54 2. Additionally, nothing in this article shall be construed to prohib-
55 it an operator of a place of entertainment from maintaining and enforc-
56 ing any policies regarding conduct or behavior at or in connection with
S. 8413 5
1 their venue. FURTHER, NOTHING IN THIS ARTICLE SHALL BE CONSTRUED TO
2 PROHIBIT AN OPERATOR OF A PLACE OF ENTERTAINMENT OR SUCH OPERATOR'S
3 AGENT, FROM RESTRICTING THE RESALE OF TICKETS THAT ARE OFFERED AS PART
4 OF A TARGETED PROMOTION, AT A DISCOUNTED PRICE, OR FOR FREE, TO SPECIFIC
5 INDIVIDUALS OR GROUPS OF INDIVIDUALS BECAUSE OF THEIR STATUS AS, OR
6 MEMBERSHIP IN, A SPECIFIC COMMUNITY OR GROUP, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED
7 TO, PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES, STUDENTS, RELIGIOUS OR CIVIC ORGANIZA-
8 TIONS, OR PERSONS DEMONSTRATING ECONOMIC HARDSHIP; PROVIDED, HOWEVER
9 THAT TICKETS OFFERED PROMOTIONALLY TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC SHALL NOT BE
10 CONSIDERED AS TICKETS OFFERED TO SPECIFIC INDIVIDUALS OR GROUPS OF INDI-
11 VIDUALS. ANY PROMOTIONAL DISCOUNTED OR FREE TICKETS FOR WHICH THE OPER-
12 ATOR OR OPERATOR'S AGENT RESTRICTS RESALE MUST BE CLEARLY MARKED AS
13 SUCH. An operator shall be permitted to revoke or restrict season tick-
14 ets for reasons relating to violations of venue policies, including but
15 not limited to, attempts by two or more persons to gain admission to a
16 single event with both the cancelled tickets originally issued to a
17 season ticket holder and those tickets re-issued as part of a resale
18 transaction, and to the extent the operator may deem necessary for the
19 protection of the safety of patrons or to address fraud or misconduct.
20 3. NO OPERATOR OR OPERATOR'S AGENT SHALL SELL OR CONVEY TICKETS TO ANY
21 SECONDARY TICKET RESELLER OWNED OR CONTROLLED BY THE OPERATOR OR OPERA-
22 TOR'S AGENT.
23 4. THE OPERATOR OR THE PROMOTER SHALL DETERMINE WHETHER A SEAT FOR
24 WHICH A TICKET IS FOR SALE HAS AN OBSTRUCTED VIEW, AND SHALL DISCLOSE
25 SUCH OBSTRUCTION. IF THE OPERATOR OR PROMOTER DISCLOSES THAT A SEAT FOR
26 WHICH A TICKET IS FOR SALE HAS AN OBSTRUCTED VIEW, IT SHALL BE THE
27 RESPONSIBILITY OF THE SECONDARY TICKET RESELLER TO DISCLOSE SUCH
28 OBSTRUCTION UPON THE RESALE OF SUCH TICKET. SUCH OBSTRUCTION SHALL NOT
29 INCLUDE AN OBSTRUCTION OF VIEW CAUSED BY A PERSON, OR PERSONS, SEATED IN
30 AN ADJACENT SEAT, OR SEATS, OR OCCUPYING AN AISLE; OR AN OBSTRUCTION OF
31 VIEW CAUSED BY AN OBJECT OR OBJECTS PLACED UPON AN ADJACENT SEAT OR
32 SEATS, OR IN AN AISLE; OR AN OBSTRUCTION OF VIEW THAT IS DE MINIMUS OR
33 TRANSITORY IN NATURE.
34 S 9. Section 25.35 of the arts and cultural affairs law is amended by
35 adding a new subdivision 7 to read as follows:
36 7. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION TO THE CONTRARY, WHEN THE FINES
