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.

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.
