(A) Applications for special permits to cover temporary increase in maximum price shall be made to the Clerk and upon payment to the Clerk for each day during which such excessive admission fee is to be charged an amount equal to 5% of the difference between the annual license fee paid and the annual license fee required to be paid for such entertainment when the additional admission fee is charged, the Mayor shall issue, or cause to be issued, such special permit, attested by the Clerk. Special permits may be issued for any period of time provided that the special permit fee is paid in advance on the basis of the aforesaid daily rate.
(B) Any person holding a license hereunder and desiring for the entire remainder of the license period to increase the admission fees or the seating capacity in excess of that covered by such license, shall make application to the Clerk, for a license covering such increase in admission fees or seating capacity. Upon the surrender of the license held by the licensee and the payment to the Clerk of the increased rate required by the changes, as aforesaid, the Mayor shall issue, or cause to be issued, a license covering such place of amusement with the increased fee or seating capacity. The additional fee shall be the pro rata share of the difference between the license fee paid and the license fee called for by the increased fee or seating capacity with reference to the portion of the license year remaining under the license already issued.
