§ 30-69. Mayoralty permits required for various callings or occasions.

Permits shall not be required for the sale by an individual of tickets at or below face value to athletic contests or other amusement events, provided that tickets are not sold or offered for sale within 750 feet of the grounds of the Superdome when the event related to the ticket is being conducted or within six hours of the scheduled commencement of such event.

Except for such sale by an individual of tickets at or below face value to athletic contests or other amusement events, within said 750-foot buffer zone, every person who shall desire to use the public streets, sidewalks or other public or private places of business establishments for the conduct of any of the businesses or callings hereinafter set forth shall first apply to and obtain from the department of finance a permit. Such permit shall in each instance state the occasion for which it is issued and the date upon which it will expire and shall be in addition to any other tax or license to which permittee may be liable. Except as otherwise provided, annual permits expire on December 31. Such permits, however, are not valid within the central business district area bounded by the river on the east, Claiborne Avenue on the west, Esplanade Avenue on the north, and Howard Avenue on the south, except as provided in this article.
