C. Nothing shall prohibit the resale or offering for resale via the internet of an admission ticket, at any price, to an athletic contest, dance, theater, concert, circus, or other amusement, if the ticket is resold or offered for resale through any website if such website's operator guarantees a full refund of the amount paid for the ticket under each of the following conditions:

(1) The ticketed event is canceled.

(2) The purchaser is denied admission to the ticketed event, unless such denial is due to the action or omission of the purchaser.
