Conn. Gen. Stat. § 53-199
No person owning, managing or conducting any place where any moving picture or theatrical production is exhibited shall sell any admission ticket or charge or receive any admission fee or collect or receive any valuable thing from any person after the seating capacity of such place has been exhausted, unless, at the time of such sale, charge, receipt or collection, the person making such sale, charge or collection or receiving such admission fee or valuable thing distinctly announces to the person making such purchase, or from whom such charge or collection is made or fee or valuable thing received, that standing room only is available. The state police shall, in order to ensure safety and health, limit the number of persons that may occupy standing room in each place where any moving picture or theatrical production is exhibited, and shall require the person owning, managing or conducting such place to display conspicuously, at each entrance thereto, a placard upon which shall be plainly printed such standing room capacity. Any person who violates any provision of this section or any order of the Commissioner of Emergency Services and Public Protection made pursuant thereto limiting the number of persons that may occupy standing room in a theater where any moving picture or theatrical production is exhibited, or who fails to display conspicuously, at the entrance thereto, a placard on which shall be plainly printed such standing room capacity, shall be fined not more than two hundred fifty dollars.
