	(a)  The promoter shall notify the commission and the news media of any change in an announced or advertised main event in a professional boxing or wrestling program at least 24 hours before the contest. Notice of any change or substitution in the main event must also be conspicuously posted at the box office of the premises where the program is to be held and announced from the ring before the opening contest.  
	(b)  If a change in the main event occurs and any patron desires to have the price of his or her ticket refunded, the promoter must refund the patron's money upon presentation of the ticket stub at the box office before the contest is scheduled to begin. The box office must be held open a reasonable length of time to permit redemption of such tickets.  
	(c)  A contestant may not substitute for another contestant in a professional contest that is the main event in a program of boxing unless  
		(1) the promoter notifies the commission representative before the contestant weighs in on the day of the contest; and  
		(2) the commission representative approves the substitution.  
	(d)  The main event in any program of professional boxing or wrestling must be started by 10 p.m. If the semi-final or other bouts which were advertised to be on the same program have not been held by that time, they must be put on after the main bout.
