As Toronto’s major sports teams appeal to season ticket holders to renew for next season, fans are expressing frustration that the Ford government’s hastily passed ticket resale legislation has unfairly punished them. Earlier this year — in an attempt to crack down on predatory ticket resellers before the FIFA World Cup — the Ford government promised new financial enforcement measures on both businesses and individuals who resell tickets for more than their retail purchase price. The law currently appears to be enforced on an honour system, with resellers needing to acknowledge that they are not selling their ticket for more than retail on most large resale sites before posting a listing. As Global’s Colin D’Mello reports, the government’s enforcement approach has created confusion for season ticket holders in Ontario — passholders who pay one bulk rate at the beginning of the season.
