<h1>Private cardholder-only cultural event at protected monument raises permitting, access rules, vendor and preservation compliance issues</h1> A premium credit-card issuer, in partnership with a heritage preservation foundation, is staging a ticketed cultural event at a protected monument offering exclusive access, curated performances, and premium hospitality; access is limited to cardholders via the issuer's app and subject to strict entry protocols. Proceeds are designated for monument preservation and routed through the foundation. The arrangement implicates issues of heritage-site permitting, contractual terms governing ticketing and access, consumer eligibility and refund policies, third-party vendor obligations for catering and floral services, and compliance with applicable cultural-property and public-safety regulations.
