Ontario Ticket Resale Cap Enters Enforcement Phase as Critics’ Warnings Start to Materialize
Ontario’s ticket resale price cap, passed in the 2026 budget, is entering an enforcement phase. The province says 32 staff are assigned to resale enforcement and more will be redeployed ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup in Toronto. The cap bars resale above original purchase price, with fines of $3,000 to $250,000. Ontario has sent inspection letters to StubHub and SeatGeek, while Ticketmaster introduced temporary pricing limits and waived seller fees.
