4 PART A
5 Section 1. Section 25.03 of the arts and cultural affairs law is
6 amended by adding a new subdivision 11 to read as follows:
7 11. "Professional reseller" means a reseller, also referred to as a
8 ticket broker, and includes any person, firm, corporation or other enti-
9 ty that is involved in the business of the resale of tickets. Individ-
10 uals who do not regularly engage in the business of reselling tickets,
11 who resell fewer than thirty tickets per year and who obtain the tickets
12 for such individual's personal use or the use of friends and family, are
13 not deemed professional resellers for the purposes of this article.
14 § 2. Subdivision 1 of section 25.13 of the arts and cultural affairs
15 law, as amended by chapter 374 of the laws of 2007, is amended to read

17 1. (a) No [person, firm or corporation] professional reseller shall
18 resell or engage in the business of reselling any tickets to a place of

21 in a resale transaction or that facilitates resale transactions by the
22 means of an auction, or own, conduct or maintain any office, branch
23 office, bureau, agency or sub-agency for such business without having
24 first procured a license or certificate for each location at which busi-
25 ness will be conducted from the secretary of state. Any operator or
26 manager of a website that serves as a platform to facilitate resale, or
27 resale by way of a competitive bidding process, solely between third
28 parties and does not in any other manner engage in resales of tickets to
29 places of entertainment shall be exempt from the licensing requirements
30 of this section. The department of state shall issue and deliver to such
31 applicant a certificate or license to conduct such business and to own,
32 conduct or maintain a bureau, agency, sub-agency, office or branch
33 office for the conduct of such business on the premises stated in such
34 application upon the payment by or on behalf of the applicant of a fee
35 of five thousand dollars and shall be renewed upon the payment of [a
36 like fee annually.] an annual renewal fee pursuant to paragraph (b) of
37 this subdivision. Such license or certificate shall not be transferred
38 or assigned, except by permission of the secretary of state. Such
39 license or certificate shall run to the first day of January next ensu-
40 ing the date thereof, unless sooner revoked by the secretary of state.
41 Such license or certificate shall be granted upon a written application
42 setting forth such information as the secretary of state may require in
43 order to enable [him or her] them to carry into effect the provisions of
44 this article and shall be accompanied by proof satisfactory to the
45 secretary of state of the moral character of the applicant. No online
46 resale marketplace shall allow a ticket to be posted for resale without
47 first verifying the professional reseller's New York state ticket
48 reseller license number if such seller meets the criteria for a profes-
49 sional reseller as defined in this section.
50 (b) The annual professional reseller renewal fee shall be:
51 (i) for a professional reseller that resells more than thirty tickets
52 but less than one hundred tickets per year, an annual renewal fee of one
53 thousand dollars to maintain a professional reseller license;
S. 8221 3
1 (ii) for a professional reseller that resells one hundred or more
2 tickets but less than two hundred tickets per year, an annual renewal
3 fee of two thousand dollars to maintain a professional reseller license;
4 and
5 (iii) for a professional reseller that resells two hundred or more
6 tickets per year, an annual renewal fee of three thousand dollars to
7 maintain a professional reseller license.
8 (c) "Tickets" shall mean, for purposes of paragraph (b) of this subdi-
9 vision: (i) each resold ticket not originally purchased by the profes-
10 sional reseller as part of a season or subscription ticket package; or

19 bidding process.

21 pursuant to this article by the secretary of state, the licensee named
22 therein shall cause such license to be posted and at all times displayed
23 in a conspicuous place in the principal office of such business for
24 which it is issued, and shall cause the certificate for each branch
25 office, bureau, agency or sub-agency to be posted and at all times
26 displayed in a conspicuous place in such branch office, bureau, agency
27 or sub-agency for which it is issued, so that all persons visiting such
28 principal office, branch office, bureau, agency or sub-agency may readi-
29 ly see the same, and if such licensee does business on the internet,
30 including via a retail ticket purchasing platform, to provide a license
31 number displayed in a conspicuous manner or a hyperlink displayed in a
32 conspicuous manner to a scanned copy of such license. Such license or
33 certificate shall at all reasonable times be subject to inspection by
34 the secretary of state or [his or her] their authorized inspectors. It
35 shall be unlawful for any person, firm, partnership or corporation hold-
36 ing such license or certificate to post such license or certificate or
37 to permit such certificate to be posted upon premises other than those
38 described therein or to which it has been transferred pursuant to the
39 provisions of this article or unlawfully to alter, deface or destroy any
40 such license or certificate. For purposes of this section, the term
41 "retail ticket purchasing platform" shall mean a retail ticket purchas-
42 ing website, application, phone system, or other technology platform
43 used to sell tickets.
44 3. (a) An online resale marketplace shall require professional resell-
45 ers to provide their New York state ticket reseller license number as a
46 condition of utilizing an online resale marketplace to resell tickets.
47 (b) An online resale marketplace shall disclose in a clear and
48 conspicuous manner a notice on the advertisement or offer of a ticket or
49 tickets that such ticket or tickets being purchased are being resold by
50 a licensed New York state professional reseller.
51 (c) Every online resale marketplace shall disclose the licensing
52 number of the professional reseller in a clear and conspicuous manner.
53 Such disclosure of the licensing number shall be displayed in the tick-
54 eting listing prior to the ticket being selected for purchase. Disclo-
55 sure of the licensing number shall not be false or misleading and may
56 not be presented more prominently or in the same or larger size as the

3 regulations outside of this article, and nothing in this subdivision
4 shall be construed as making lawful any fraudulent, deceptive, or ille-
5 gal act or practice that is unlawful pursuant to now existing laws or
6 regulations.
7 § 4. This act shall take effect on the sixtieth day after it shall
8 have become a law; provided, however, that the amendments to sections
9 25.03, 25.13 and 25.19 of the arts and cultural affairs law made by
10 sections one, two and three of this act shall not affect the repeal of
11 such sections and shall be deemed repealed therewith.

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

48 shall notify the purchaser of such tickets and shall provide a thirty-
49 day window during which the purchaser may elect to retain such tickets,
50 receive a credit equal to or in excess of the full amount paid by the
51 purchaser or receive a full refund. If, at the end of the thirty-day
52 window, the purchaser of such tickets does not choose one of the afore-
53 mentioned options, they shall receive an immediate full refund for the
54 amount paid by the purchaser including but not limited to all fees,
S. 8221 5
