Pennsylvania — License To Resell Amusement Tickets Bond
Pennsylvania's ticket-resale statute provides for a $1,000 license bond payable to the licensing county or city. Confirm the actual resale activity and local licensor first: the Act includes a conditional Internet-website exception and does not make every ticket transaction the same licensing file.

What this bond does
Supply the approved security in a covered Pennsylvania amusement-ticket reseller's licensing file, separately from event production or initial box-office sales.
- Who needs it
- A business preparing a covered ticket-resale license application. An event promoter, original ticket seller or reseller using a qualifying website should establish the actual statutory role before applying.
- Who it protects
- Section 5 conditions the bond on observance of the Act and Department regulations and provides for collection after the specified revocation/forfeiture process. It is not a blanket promise to refund every ticket or guarantee that a performance takes place.

The bond amount describes the limit of the bond obligation, not the price. A listed amount does not establish what the requesting party requires. The premium is what you pay and must be confirmed for the actual option. An E&O limit, where listed, is separate errors and omissions insurance.

Questions about this bond
Is every online ticket reseller exempt?
The published Act's website exception has conditions involving the operator's business presence and refund protections. Confirm how it applies to the actual sales channel rather than treating all Internet activity alike.
Who should the bond name as recipient?
Section 5 describes the county or city where the license is issued, with an approved instrument filed with the local licensor. Use the actual licensing request rather than naming an event venue or the State solely from the catalog title.
Does it refund any ticket I sell?
The statutory bond has an observance and revocation/forfeiture condition. It should not be described as a universal purchaser refund guarantee. Purchase Now opens Propeller for security, not an event-performance warranty.
