Current as of January 01, 2026 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

(A) As used in this section:

(1) “Qualifying school” means both of the following:

(a) A school district or chartered nonpublic school that elects to participate in athletic events regulated by an interscholastic conference or an organization that regulates either interscholastic conferences or interscholastic athletic competition among member schools;

(b) An interscholastic conference or an organization that regulates either interscholastic conferences or interscholastic athletic competition among member schools.

(2) “School-affiliated event” means an athletic event, play, musical, or any other school-related event or activity that a qualifying school conducts, sponsors, or participates in and for which a qualifying school charges admission to attend.  “School-affiliated event” does not include any event or activity that is conducted in a public facility that is leased by a professional sports team or a privately owned facility.

(B) Each qualifying school shall permit an individual to pay cash for a ticket to a school-affiliated event.  If a qualifying school does not accept cash payment from an individual who wishes to purchase a ticket to an event on the date of that event, the school shall grant that individual a free ticket if there are still tickets available and the individual demonstrates that the individual has enough cash to cover the full cost of the ticket.

(C) A qualifying school shall not establish different prices for tickets for a school-affiliated event based on whether those tickets are purchased using cash or any other payment method, except that the school may charge a processing fee for any ticket purchased online or by credit card.

(D) A qualifying school shall charge a student enrolled in any school participating in a school-affiliated event a ticket price that is less than the ticket price the school charges for an adult for the same event.

(E) Each qualifying school that offers concessions for sale at a school-affiliated event shall provide at least one location where an individual may pay cash for concessions and, if concessions are sold on multiple floors, at least one location on each floor that accepts cash payment.
