N.Y. Arts and Cultural Affairs Law § 25.12: Professional sports organization membership pass

* § 25.12. Professional sports organization membership pass.

Notwithstanding section 25.30 of this article, an operator of a place of

entertainment or such operator's agent may offer paperless tickets which

do not allow for independent transferability provided that such tickets

are included in a membership pass at a discounted price offered by a

professional sports organization for seating in venues or stadiums with

a fixed capacity of over thirty thousand seats that guarantees entry to

a specified number of events in a specified time period with seat

assignments assigned no more than four hours prior to the commencement

of the event and such seat assignment must be variable from game to game

and not intended for season ticket holders. Tickets provided under such

membership pass may be restricted from being transferred or resold,

including through the operator or operators' agents, and must be clearly

marked as such prior to initial offering or sale. Such membership pass

shall not mean a subscription or season ticket package offered for sale

and shall not result in the sale of more than five percent of the

maximum amount of all seats that will be made available at a venue for a

particular event to be sold under this section.
