Ticketmaster delists Ontario resale tickets after omnibus budget bill passed
Posted on: Apr 24, 2026 17:57 IST | Posted by: Cbc
Ticketmaster Canada is delisting resale tickets that customers feature posted for Ontario events.
The platform's voice Shabnum Durrani says it removed the seats to follow with incoming provincial statute law that testament cap the price of resale tickets at face value.
The company says customers will be able to relist their tickets next week when the platform will have updated its resale marketplace.
Durrani says Ticketmaster has been notifying customers of the changes.
The move comes after the Ontario government passed its budget bill, which included the resale ticket price cap, but the bill has yet to receive royal assent.
The price cap follows consumer complaints about tickets to popular events, such as the last World Series and Taylor Swift's Eras tour, being scooped up by resellers who posted seats for several times their face value.
Ontario plans to cap ticket resale prices at original cost
Amendments to the 2017 Ticket Sales Act were announced by the Ford government last month and followed the premier's vow last year to review legislation due to sky-high World Series resale tickets in Toronto.
That promise was a marked change in stance by Premier Doug Ford after his government scrapped part of an anti-scalping law in 2019 that would have capped ticket resale prices at 50 per cent above the original face value.
