If this really applies to them then they are fucked beyond belief. IANAL, but here's what it seems to be saying to me:
- They must PROACTIVELY offer refunds to everyone. That means they cannot bury their heads in the sand and wait for people to request refunds. They now have a duty to reach out to all ticketholders and tell them they can get their refunds and how.
- Anyone who bought tickets and doesn't claim the refund in the first 30 days following the event will have their money sent NOT to Anisa and Ian or anyone involved with Creator Clash 3, but instead to the government of Florida where it will be held for a year while ticketholders can request a refund.
- After that 1 year holding period, Anisa and Ian STILL don't get any of the money. Full stop.
- If they fail to follow this process, they will can be penalized, have their promoter license revoked, and they will lose the security bond they put up to allow them to promote the event in the first place.
- Under no circumstances are they entitled to ANY of that money now.
Of course, there could be some caveat or case law where this statute doesn't apply to them, but as it's written here, they are ruined. They cannot recoup the costs involved in hosting the event with any ticket sales now. This is so far beyond fucked that it's Lolcow of the Year territory.
