(1) Admission charge: refers to the regular sum paid for the privilege of entering any place for recreation, entertainment, or exhibition, including varying charges paid by specific groups or classes to a given place or event. As such, whenever a person is admitted to such place at reduced charge, the reduced charge shall not be considered the admission charge, but, instead, the sum paid by all others will be considered the regular admission charge.

The admission charge portion of sums paid for both admission and some other benefit, including, for example, meals or refreshments, shall be prorated under rules promulgated by the Town Treasurer.

Free admissions to bona fide employees of the proprietor or promoter, and free admissions to children under ten (10) and public employees engaged in official duties are specifically exempted from this definition. Further, this definition shall not include charges made for use of pool or billiard tables, bowling alleys, cardrooms, or coin operated machines. Too, this definition shall not include charges made by private, non-profit social or service clubs, churches, or societies for entertainment or recreation which is not open to the general public.

(2) Place: includes, but is not limited to, theatres, show houses, cabarets, nightclubs, art galleries, museums, dance halls, athletic parks, swimming pools, skating rinks, resorts, amusement parks, and other enclosures and buildings wherein entertainment and recreation is provided.

(3) Person: any individual, group, or legal entity, including the State and United States. (Ord. 232, §1, 1945)
