Ticketmaster Canada to Cap Resale Prices in Ontario: A New Era of Fairness for Live Event Fans
Ticketmaster Canada is implementing a new pricing policy in Ontario, capping resale prices at the original cost starting next week. This move follows a provincial law that prohibits selling tickets above the all-in price, including fees and taxes. The company is delisting current resale listings and will allow relisting once the platform updates. The new rules aim to combat price gouging and protect buyers from scalpers. Ticketmaster supports the change, viewing it as a step towards a fairer and more transparent market. The law applies to both resellers and platforms assisting them, with fines up to ten thousand dollars for violators. This shift is expected to create a more affordable resale market for Ontario live event fans.

It's April 24th. This is Canada News Today, AI-powered stories from your city. Ticketmaster Canada is cracking down on ticket resales in Ontario, capping prices at the original cost starting next week. This follows a new provincial law that bans selling tickets for concerts, sports, or live events above the all-in price, including fees and taxes. The company confirmed they're delisting all current resale listings right now to comply, and fans can relist them next week once the platform updates. Officials pass this in their recent budget bill, amending the 2017 Ticket Sales Act. Fans in the province are hailing it as a win against price gouging, protecting buyers from scalpers jacking up costs. Ticketmaster even backs the change, saying it builds a fairer, more transparent market for everyone. Emails are already going out to resellers, pulling their listings off the site. The rules hit anyone reselling or any platform helping them, with fines up to $10,000 for violators.
This shift levels the playing field for Ontario live event fans, keeping resale real and affordable as the law kicks in.
