Section 30. Admissions

Latest version.

The tax does not apply to sales of tickets, fees, charges, or voluntary contributions for admissions to places of amusement, entertainment, exhibition, display, or athletic contests, nor to charges made for participation in games or amusement activities. However "cover charges" or "minimum charges" which include the provision of or the entitlement to food, drinks, or other tangible property constitute a sale of property and are subject to the tax. Admission fees or "door charges" which entail no right to receipt of or credit toward the purchase of food or other tangible personal property are not subject to the tax.
