scalping”) that Defendants are engaged in atthe Staples Center and LA Live venues; Dodger Stadium;
University of Southem California (USC) Galen Event Center/Galen Athletic Pavilion (“Galen”); and
the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum (“Coliseum”) (hereinafter collectively known as, “LA
Sports/Entertainment Venues”). This action is not directed at typical or average sports fans who, on
occasion, sell extra tickets in front of each respective venue noted above. Fach Defendant has been
observed frequently engaging in ticket scalping at the LA Sports/Entertainment Venues and has been
arrested multiple times for such conduet. Defendants’ conduct constitutes'a public nuisance for ever
goers and unfair competition for legitimate ticket-selling businesses.

the LA Sports/Entertainment Venues.

under the authority granted to him by Business and Professions Code sections 17203, 17204, 17206,
17508, 17535, and 17536 to bring such law enforcement actions.
4, The City Attorney for the City of Los Angeles brings this cause of action alleged herein
on behalf of the People, pursuant to Business and Professions Code section 17204, which provides that

(See People v. Bhakta (2006) 135 Cal.App.4th 631, 641.)
5, The People are informed and believe and based thereon allege that Defendants are
individuals who have been arrested at one or more of the LA. Sports/Entertainment Venues for
violating California Penal Code (hereinafter "PC" section 346; and/or Los Angeles Municipal Code
(hereinafter “LAMC’) sections 42.00, subdivision (b), and 42.03, subdivisions (a) and (b):
