performance, comedy act, or other specialty act featuring any number of performers for which a ticket is sold in

advance for purposes of profit by a concert promoter; the term does not include dramatic performances;” and a

“promoter” means “a person who contracts for and arranges a concert for purposes of profit whether engaged full

time or part time in the business of booking or hiring concerts.” AS 08.92.090(1) and (3).
