The Ontario NDP has proposed legislation to ban resale tickets being sold above face value, aiming to combat fraud and predatory pricing around Blue Jays World Series games. Tickets originally priced around $500 are currently reselling between $1,400 and $4,200, prompting public concern. The motion seeks to update the Ticket Sales Act but does not specify enforcement mechanisms. Ontario previously limited resale prices to 50 percent of original value, a rule repealed by the provincial government in 2019 after being labelled unenforceable. The provincial government says it is now examining ways to limit resale price hikes.
