Yes,
Liquor Special Event Permit holders are required to obtain a Retail License or an Admissions Tax License, or both, before applying for their
Liquor Special Event Permit. They must obtain an Admissions Tax license even if tickets are sold online only. However, some nonprofit organizations may be eligible for an exemption certificate instead of obtaining a Retail License or Admissions Tax License.
