"Ticketmaster has removed resale tickets for Ontario events to comply with incoming provincial legislation that will cap the price of resale tickets at face value. Customers will be able to relist their tickets next week when the platform updates its resale marketplace."
"The price cap follows consumer complaints about tickets to popular events being scooped up by resellers who posted seats for several times their face value. The Ford government is targeting ticket resellers, with plans to make it illegal to resell concert and event tickets for more than their original cost."
"Amendments to the 2017 Ticket Sales Act were announced by the Ford government last month, following the premier's vow to review legislation due to sky-high World Series resale tickets in Toronto."
