About this episode

Ontario's new law capping resale ticket prices is causing turmoil among sports fans and teams.

Ontarios new law capping resale ticket prices is causing a stir among sports fans, particularly those with season seats. The law, which went into effect last month, is making it difficult for fans like Ryan Van Horne to resell their tickets to cover costs. Many fans resell not to profit, but to make up for packed schedules and rising prices. The cap is forcing sales at face value or riskier spots like social media, leaving fans frustrated and rethinking their commitments. Teams like the Raptors, Leafs, Toronto FC, and Blue Jays are scrambling to comply, and the province is running a public consultation until May tenth. This blunt change could make season tickets less appealing, hurting fans and franchises alike as they navigate the new rules. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
