What this bill does

This Ontario bill amends the Ticket Sales Act, 2017 to cap the resale price of tickets on the secondary market at no more than 50% above the ticket's original face value, including fees and service charges but excluding taxes.

Plain-language summary by Legisail.

Business impact

Compliance

This bill directly affects ticket resale businesses, ticket brokers, and online resale platforms operating in Ontario — anyone who buys tickets to concerts, sports events, or other live entertainment and resells them at a markup. It also impacts platforms like StubHub or Viagogo that facilitate secondary market sales, as they would need to enforce the 50% cap including their own service fees. Smaller independent ticket scalpers and solo resellers would be equally affected. Day-to-day, these businesses would need to monitor and adjust their pricing to ensure total costs to buyers (minus taxes) never exceed 150% of face value, fundamentally limiting profit margins on high-demand events.
