Ontario ticket resale cap frustrates some season ticket holders

Ontario’s new law capping ticket resale prices at face value is causing frustration among some season ticket holders in Toronto, who say they used resale as a way to offset the cost of games they could not attend. The legislation took effect last month and applies to resale platforms across the province. Supporters say the rule is meant to make concerts, cultural events, and sports more affordable, while some fans and industry figures argue it reduces flexibility and makes season subscriptions less practical. The CBC report highlights examples from Raptors and Toronto Tempo season ticket holders who say they are now reconsidering their memberships or looking for less convenient ways to give away tickets. Teams and platforms are still adjusting their systems as the province continues consulting on the policy until May 10.
