Title

A substitute ordinance relating to the resale of tickets to entertainment or sporting events.

Sections

95-1-3-L      cr

105-56-3      rn

105-56-3      cr

Analysis

Section 105-56 of the code currently prohibits the sale of goods, food stuffs and tickets on sidewalks adjacent to certain facilities before and after the times that events are held in those facilities.  This ordinance amends the prohibition by excepting the resale of tickets at or below face value.  In addition, this ordinance exempts an individual reselling tickets at or below face value from obtaining a direct seller's permit as currently required under section 95-1.

Body

The Mayor and Common Council of the City of Milwaukee do ordain as follows:

Part 1.  Section 95-1-3-L of the code is created to read:

95-1.  Direct Sellers

3.  EXEMPTIONS.

L.  Any person reselling tickets to entertainment or sporting events at or below face value.

Part 2.  Section 105-56-3 of the code is renumbered 105-56-4.

Part 3.  Section 105-56-3 of the code is created to read:

105-56.  Sales on Public Premises.

3.  EXCEPTIONS.  Nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit the resale of tickets to entertainment or sporting events at or below face value.
