Section 20-23.9 - Permit Applications and Fees

1. Every promoter must have a current license to conduct, hold or give wrestling matches or exhibitions and must secure a permit from the Commission before conducting any match or exhibition.

2. Permits for Single Events

a. Application for single wrestling event permits must be in the Commission office at least fourteen (14) days before the event. If the promoter does not meet such deadline, the Commission will not issue a permit until the promoter pays the mandatory fine required by law. No permit will be issued unless the applicant:

(1) Provides the names and addresses of all anticipated participants and of the event location;

(2) Pays the required permit fee.

b. Promoters must pay to the Commission the higher amount of either five percent (5%) of the total admissions to the event or a twenty five ($25.00) dollar minimum within thirty (30) days after the event. Failure to pay the required gate fees within the time specified herein will result in the promoter being assessed a two hundred fifty ($250.00) dollar administrative fine, and an additional two hundred fifty ($250.00) dollar fine every thirty (30) days thereafter up to a maximum amount of one thousand ($1,000.00) dollars. An event permit shall not be issued to a promoter with an outstanding unpaid gate fee or fine. Promoters will be subject to disciplinary action by the Commission for any attempt to circumvent payment of the gate fee.

c. Additionally, the Commission may require:

(1) Evidence that a policy of medical and hospital insurance satisfactory to the Commission covers every wrestler;

(2) The Commission may issue special permits to promoters holding multiple events during a given calendar year, upon the promoter's satisfaction of special permit requirements and fee terms set by the Commission.
