The charges are all related to selling concert or event tickets to customers, and allegedly not delivering the tickets or seats allegedly promised.



Consumer Investigator Jason Knowles first exposed complaints against Ryan in February, months before he was charged.



Ryan entered a not guilty plea at a previous hearing, and at another court hearing this week.



He asked that his bond be reduced to $50,000.



A judge denied his request but reduced it to $125,000.
