It's April 24th. From your city to your ears, this is Canada News today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the story. Ticketmaster Canada just yanked resale tickets for Ontario events off their platform. They're gearing up to follow a new provincial law that caps resale prices right at face value. This kicks in after the government's big budget bill, cleared its final hurdle at the legislature. Spokesperson Shabnam Dharani confirmed they're delisting those tickets now to stay ahead of the changes. Customers got notices about it, and the company plans to flip the switchback on next week with an updated marketplace. Fans are feeling the pinch short term, but it hits resale hustlers' hardest since they can't flip seats above face value anymore. This stems from Premier Doug Ford's push last month to tweak the 2017 Ticket Sales Act. Ford flipped his script after ditching a 50% markup cap back in 2019. High resale prices for Toronto's World Series games last year sparked his promise to crack

down. Expect Royal Assense soon to lock this in, shifting the game for live events in Ontario toward fairer pricing for everyday buyers.
