licensee or other ticket reseller to contract for the sale of tickets,
contract to obtain tickets for another, or accept consideration for

obtain the offered ticket at a certain price from a person in possession
of the ticket or from a person who has a contractual right to obtain
such ticket; or

(c) such licensee or other ticket reseller informs the purchaser in a
clear and conspicuous manner and in plain language at the time of
offering such ticket for sale and in a written notice prior to the
completion of the transaction that such licensee or other ticket
reseller does not have possession of the ticket, has no contract to
obtain the offered ticket at a certain price from a person in possession
of the ticket or from a person who has a contractual right to obtain

the deposit agreement, and includes in the written notice the
disclosures otherwise required by this section. If a licensee or ticket
reseller has entered into a contract with or received consideration from
a prospective purchaser for the sale of a ticket or tickets and cannot
supply such ticket or tickets at the contracted price or price range,
such licensee or ticket reseller shall refund any monies paid by such
