A. No person may sell an admission ticket, card or similar device at a price in excess of the price printed, stamped, or written thereon, as required in LMC 3.44.040.

B. 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 Puget Sound area. The handling charge is not part of the admission charge for purposes of the City admissions tax. [Ord. 167 § 1, 1998.]
