Well, the smart thing to do would be to preclude ticket sales to those individuals, but as it's contracted out I guess this is the next best way.

If they’re fine blatantly flaunting the law and violating contracts sure I guess.

If they issue you a refund it should be fine tbh.

That depends on the liquor board’s interpretation of their policy.

And it depends on whether the ticket holder can prove they suffered damages beyond the cost of the ticket. Or whether a group of people in a class action lawsuit can do so.

At least one law firm has already successfully sued to overturn their ban.
