* § 25.23. Posting of price lists; information to purchaser. 1. In

every principal office or branch office, bureau, agency or sub-agency of

any licensee under this article, there shall be conspicuously posted and

at all times displayed a price list showing the established price

charged by the operator of the place of entertainment for which a ticket

is being sold by such licensee, together with the price being charged by

such licensee for the resale of such ticket, so that all persons

visiting such place may readily see the same. The licensee shall also on

request furnish each purchaser of a ticket with a receipt showing the

same information. Further, if the licensee conducts business through the

use of the internet, the same price list, or hyperlink to the same,

shall be conspicuously displayed on the internet page on which tickets

are accessed. In addition the licensee shall publish in a conspicuous

place, or hyperlink to on the internet a statement clearly detailing the

required guarantees required by section 25.07 of this article.

2. An online resale marketplace shall post a clear and conspicuous

notice on the website that the website is for the secondary sale of a

ticket, that the price of such ticket offered for sale may exceed the

established price and shall also state the refund policy of the platform

in connection with the cancellation or postponement of an event. An

online resale marketplace shall be required to clearly and conspicuously

disclose the established price charged by the operator of a place of

entertainment that is printed or endorsed on the face of each ticket in

accordance with section 25.07 of this article prior to the user

completing any transaction. An online resale marketplace shall require

that the user confirm having read such notices before completing any

transaction. For the purposes of this section, an "online resale

marketplace" means any operator or manager of a website or other

electronic service that resells tickets or serves as a platform to

facilitate resale, or resale by way of a competitive bidding process.
