6 11. "Professional reseller" means a reseller, also referred to as a
7 ticket broker, and includes any person, firm, corporation or other enti-
8 ty that is involved in the business of the resale of tickets. Individ-
9 uals who do not regularly engage in the business of reselling tickets,

11 for such individual's personal use or the use of friends and family, are
12 not deemed professional resellers for the purposes of this article.
13 § 2. Subdivision 1 of section 25.13 of the arts and cultural affairs

22 office, bureau, agency or sub-agency for such business without having
23 first procured a license or certificate for each location at which busi-
24 ness will be conducted from the secretary of state. Any operator or
25 manager of a website that serves as a platform to facilitate resale, or
26 resale by way of a competitive bidding process, solely between third
27 parties and does not in any other manner engage in resales of tickets to
28 places of entertainment shall be exempt from the licensing requirements
29 of this section. The department of state shall issue and deliver to such
30 applicant a certificate or license to conduct such business and to own,
31 conduct or maintain a bureau, agency, sub-agency, office or branch
32 office for the conduct of such business on the premises stated in such
33 application upon the payment by or on behalf of the applicant of a fee
34 of five thousand dollars and shall be renewed upon the payment of [a

37 or assigned, except by permission of the secretary of state. Such
38 license or certificate shall run to the first day of January next ensu-
39 ing the date thereof, unless sooner revoked by the secretary of state.
40 Such license or certificate shall be granted upon a written application
41 setting forth such information as the secretary of state may require in
42 order to enable [him or her] them to carry into effect the provisions of
43 this article and shall be accompanied by proof satisfactory to the
44 secretary of state of the moral character of the applicant. No online
45 resale marketplace shall allow a ticket to be posted for resale without

47 reseller license number if such seller meets the criteria for a profes-
48 sional reseller as defined in this section.

54 tickets but less than two hundred tickets per year, an annual renewal

4 tickets per year, an annual renewal fee of three thousand dollars to
5 maintain a professional reseller license.

7 vision: (i) each resold ticket not originally purchased by the profes-
8 sional reseller as part of a season or subscription ticket package; or

19 pursuant to this article by the secretary of state, the licensee named
20 therein shall cause such license to be posted and at all times displayed
21 in a conspicuous place in the principal office of such business for
22 which it is issued, and shall cause the certificate for each branch
23 office, bureau, agency or sub-agency to be posted and at all times
24 displayed in a conspicuous place in such branch office, bureau, agency
25 or sub-agency for which it is issued, so that all persons visiting such
26 principal office, branch office, bureau, agency or sub-agency may readi-
27 ly see the same, and if such licensee does business on the internet,
28 including via a retail ticket purchasing platform, to provide a license
29 number displayed in a conspicuous manner or a hyperlink displayed in a
30 conspicuous manner to a scanned copy of such license. Such license or
31 certificate shall at all reasonable times be subject to inspection by

33 shall be unlawful for any person, firm, partnership or corporation hold-
34 ing such license or certificate to post such license or certificate or

40 ing website, application, phone system, or other technology platform
41 used to sell tickets.

46 conspicuous manner a notice on the advertisement or offer of a ticket or
47 tickets that such ticket or tickets being purchased are being resold by
48 a licensed New York state professional reseller.
49 (c) Every online resale marketplace shall disclose the licensing
50 number of the professional reseller in a clear and conspicuous manner.
51 Such disclosure of the licensing number shall be displayed in the tick-
52 eting listing prior to the ticket being selected for purchase. Disclo-
53 sure of the licensing number shall not be false or misleading and may
54 not be presented more prominently or in the same or larger size as the
55 total price. Nothing in this subdivision shall be construed to nullify,
56 expand, restrict, or otherwise amend or modify now existing laws or
A. 8659 4
1 regulations outside of this article, and nothing in this subdivision
2 shall be construed as making lawful any fraudulent, deceptive, or ille-
3 gal act or practice that is unlawful pursuant to now existing laws or
4 regulations.

6 have become a law; provided, however, that the amendments to sections
7 25.03, 25.13 and 25.19 of the arts and cultural affairs law made by

20 full refund of the amount paid by the purchaser (including, but not
21 limited to, all fees, regardless of how characterized), unless the
22 purchaser elects to retain such tickets or unless the purchaser and
23 ticket seller or reseller agree to exchange such ticket for a ticket of
24 comparable value for the same event at a different date in lieu of a
25 full refund within thirty days of receiving such notice of an opportu-
26 nity for a refund, if any of the following occurs: (a) the event for
27 which such ticket has been sold or resold is cancelled, provided that if
28 the event is cancelled then actual handling and delivery fees need not
29 be refunded as long as such previously disclosed guarantee specifies
30 that such fees will not be refunded; (b) the ticket received by the
31 purchaser does not grant the purchaser admission to the event described
32 on the ticket, for reasons that may include, without limitation, that

15 provisions of article 25 of the arts and cultural affairs law, except
16 section 25.11 are hereby revived and shall continue in full force and
17 effect as they existed on May 15, 2010 through June 30, [2025] 2028 when
18 upon such date such provisions shall expire and be deemed repealed.
19 § 3. This act shall take effect immediately.
20 § 2. Severability clause. If any clause, sentence, paragraph, subdivi-
21 sion, section or part of this act shall be adjudged by any court of
22 competent jurisdiction to be invalid, such judgment shall not affect,
23 impair, or invalidate the remainder thereof, but shall be confined in
24 its operation to the clause, sentence, paragraph, subdivision, section
25 or part thereof directly involved in the controversy in which such judg-
26 ment shall have been rendered. It is hereby declared to be the intent of
27 the legislature that this act would have been enacted even if such
28 invalid provisions had not been included herein.
29 § 3. This act shall take effect immediately; provided, however, that
30 the applicable effective date of Parts A through G of this act shall be
31 as specifically set forth in the last section of such Parts.
