Ontario’s Bill 97 is a significant step to stop ticket scalping by ensuring resale tickets cannot be sold for more than their original price, including fees and taxes. As someone who frequently buys event tickets, I found this law reassuring because it promotes fair pricing and accessibility. Ticket resale platforms like StubHub and Ticketmaster have updated their systems to comply with these regulations. For example, Ticketmaster has started removing resale listings that exceed the original purchase amount in Ontario. Although reselling tickets is still permitted, sellers must now strictly adhere to the price cap. This prevents opportunistic scalpers from exploiting concertgoers or sports fans by drastically inflating prices. From personal experience, these changes can encourage more equitable access to popular events. It also adds a layer of confidence when purchasing tickets, knowing protections are in place against unfair markups. If you live in Ontario and plan to buy or resell event tickets, it’s important to stay informed about how Bill 97 affects pricing and platform policies. This way, you can avoid paying inflated prices or unknowingly violating resale rules.
