Section 25.03*2. Reselling of tickets of admission; licenses; fees

1.  No
  person,  firm  or  corporation shall resell or engage in the business of
  reselling any tickets of admission or any other evidence of the right of
  entry to a theatre, place of amusement or entertainment, or other places
  where public exhibitions, games, contests or performances are  held,  or
  own,  conduct  or  maintain any office, branch office, bureau, agency or
  sub-agency for such business without having first procured a license  or
  certificate  therefor from the commissioner of licenses of the political
  subdivision in which such person intends to conduct such business and if
  there be no such commissioner, then the chief executive officer  thereof
  shall be deemed to be the commissioner for the purposes of this article.
  A  license for the principal office shall be granted upon the payment by
  or on behalf of the applicant of a fee of two hundred dollars and  shall
  be  renewed  upon  the payment of a like fee annually; and a certificate
  shall be granted for each branch office, bureau, agency  or  sub-agency,
  upon  payment  by or on behalf of an applicant of a fee of fifty dollars
  and shall be renewed upon the payment  of  a  like  fee  annually.  Such
  license  or  certificate shall not be transferred or assigned, except by
  permission of such commissioner.  No  change  in  the  location  of  the
  premises covered by such license or certificate shall be made, except by
  permission  of  such  commissioner, and upon the payment of a fee of ten
  dollars. Such license or certificate shall  run  to  the  first  day  of
  January  next  ensuing  the  date thereof, unless sooner revoked by such
  commissioner. Such license  or  certificate  shall  be  granted  upon  a
  written  application setting forth such information as such commissioner
  may require in order to enable him to carry into effect  the  provisions
  of  this  article and shall be accompanied by proof satisfactory to such
  commissioner of the moral character of  the  applicant.  No  license  or
  certificate  shall  be  issued  for any office or branch office, bureau,
  agency or sub-agency unless such office or branch office, bureau, agency
  or sub-agency shall be a suitable place for the conduct of said business
  and shall meet with the approval of such commissioner.
    2. This section shall not apply to any  person,  firm  or  corporation
  which  purchases  any tickets as defined in this section with the intent
  of using the tickets solely for their  own  use  or  the  use  of  their
  invitees, employees and agents and resells them at a price not in excess
  of that permitted by section 25.13 of this article should they no longer
  be able to use them.
