(1) No person may sell an admission ticket or card at a price in excess of the price printed, stamped, or written thereon.

(2) This section does not forbid a ticket agent, duly authorized to sell tickets by the event presenter, from collecting a reasonable handling charge from the purchaser, in addition to the disclosed ticket price, consistent with general marketing practices in the Tri-Cities area. The handling charge is not part of the admission charge for purposes of the City admissions tax. [Ord. 3557 § 6, 2002; Ord. 3437 § 2, 2000; Code 1970 § 3.02.050.]
