Implements a New York resident discount at major sporting events

This bill (A 9065) requires professional sports venues in New York that receive public funds or were built with public money to offer New York state residents a 50% discount on general admission tickets for events held at those venues. It specifies that proof of residency (such as a New York driver's license, IDNYC, or passport with a NY address) is required to qualify for the discount. Venues must not raise base ticket prices above fair market value or add surcharges when offering this discount. The bill also allows venues to offer larger discounts or additional discounts on premium tickets, but does not mandate discounts for privately funded venues.
