  exact, demand, accept or receive, directly or indirectly, any premium or
  price in excess of the  established  price  plus  lawful  taxes  whether
  designated  as  price,  gratuity  or  otherwise;  provided, however: (a)
  nothing in this article shall be construed to prohibit a service  charge
  by  the  operator  or  agents  of  the  operator  for  special services,
  including but not limited to, sales away from  the  box  office,  credit
  card  sales  or  delivery;  and  (b)  nothing  in  this article shall be

  sale tickets by means of an auction.
    2. In any prosecution under this section the  attorney  general  shall
  have  concurrent jurisdiction with any district attorney and in any such
  prosecution he or she or his or her deputy shall exercise all the powers
  and perform all the duties which the district attorney  would  otherwise
  be authorized to exercise or perform therein.
