(1) As used in this section, the term:
(a) “Issuer” means the person or entity that created a multiuse ticket and is obligated to allow admission thereunder.
(b) “Multiuse ticket” means a ticket, other medium, or right designed for admission to more than one theme park complex, or to more than one amusement location or other facility in a theme park complex, or for admission for more than 1 day or more than once in the same day to one or more such locations or facilities in a theme park complex.
(c) “Theme park complex” means an area comprised of at least 25 acres of land owned by the same business entity and which contains rides or other recreational activities.
Whoever offers for sale, sells, or transfers in connection with a commercial transaction, with or without consideration, any nontransferable ticket or other nontransferable medium designed for admission to more than one amusement location or other facility offering entertainment to the general public, or for admission for more than 1 day thereto, after said ticket or other medium has been used at least once for admission, is guilty of a misdemeanor of the second degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083. A nontransferable ticket or other nontransferable medium is one on which is clearly printed the phrase: “Nontransferable; must be used by the same person on all days” or words of similar import. Upon conviction for a second or subsequent violation of this subsection, such person is guilty of a misdemeanor of the first degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083.
(2) A person who offers for sale, sells, or transfers in connection with a commercial transaction, with or without consideration, a nontransferable multiuse ticket or a card, wristband, or other medium that accesses or is associated with any such nontransferable multiuse ticket after the nontransferable multiuse ticket has been used at least once for admission commits a violation of this subsection. For purposes of this subsection, a multiuse ticket is nontransferable unless the phrase “may be used by more than one person” is printed clearly on the multiuse ticket by the issuer or the issuer explicitly states on its website that the multiuse ticket may be used by more than one person.
(3)(a) Except as provided in paragraph (b), a person who violates subsection (2) commits a misdemeanor of the first degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083.
(b) A person who commits a second or subsequent violation of subsection (2) commits a felony of the third degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084.
