Great way to distract from him changing FOI rules.
Can we also ban service fees, convenience fees, ticketing fees, venue improvement fees, online printing fees, mobile app fees, QR code generation fees…
In reality Canada needs to break up the Ticketmaster LiveNation monopoly.
The Ontario Liberals introduced this prior to his election.
Once he won, he blocked this.
Now that he can benefit, he has introduced this as his own idea..
Friendly reminder that resale tickets were already regulated until Ford changed the rules in 2019
Doug is flooding the zone
I understand that price gouging events is wrong, but this punishes average season ticket holders – whether sporting, theatre., etc from their original investment, and in some cases the means to attend certain events (by reselling others).
A better solution would be a capped percentage. Say 25%. Fair and allows a semi-free market and not socialist approach to the issue.

Addition: Wow, had no idea Reddit was this Leftist. What happened to freedom of speech that so many of you NDPers champion? Go ahead, downvote me more you commies!!
I remember the good old days when scalping was illegal and you could be arrested for it. That lasted until the big promoters figured that legal scalping meant they could make huge profits from the practice without paying more to the performers by legalizing it.
Hasn’t he said this like 50 times?
Concerts and sporting events are luxury products.
It’s not food, it’s not medical care.
If one consenting adult is paying another consenting adult for a ticket, why is it the government’s business?
Hey so the NDP came up with this first
Honestly if you want a ticket they should sell a max of 4 to each person and you have to buy tickets in person. No resale of tickets past their face value.
I’ll believe it when it happens. Every politician who has talked about this has never followed through with it.
Me too
I want a doctor. My health isnt great
I’m good with.
There is a whole underground industry based on scalping. These people don’t pay taxes and make it hard for the average person to go to an event.
Not only was this something in place that Ford removed once he got into office, it’s a very blatant attempt to appease people while he does immensely corrupt shit. He deserves zero praise for this.
It is hard to image that people still pay overpriced resale Leafs tickets these days
Hey uncle Doug, maybe go after ticketmaster for all the unpaid taxes from reselling tickets……
MAGA playbook. [Flood the zone ](https://share.google/ER7IBZwCv4fjEGohT)
I think this should be done right across Canada
But will he move against LiveNation? No? Then pound sand.
I always thought that was already against the law and that’s why ticket scalpers had to ask *you* if you had tickets etc.
Was going to take in a concert at Rama (about 1000 seats) and on their website, tickets for a particular show will say some price under 100 which I thought sounded fair… click the „buy tickets“ button directly below and all of the sudden the tickets are 250 % higher! Done with this!
When you break it down though, they make 100 per which likely fills the venue so $100,000. 250 per likely gets you half full so 125,000.
„Please forget that this legislation already existed until I revoked it a few years ago. Kthxbye.“
Uncle Dougie.
I would love to see the feds jump on this. Make it all across the country.
This is great news! Tickets will now be affordable for everyone but you must also purchase this random hockey card worth $xxxxxx as part of the bundle.
Can we also ban trying to exclude yourself from Freedom of Information requests while running the most corrupt government in ontario history?
K thanks.
Pretty sure it has been stated somewhere here but this was a Wynne policy that he changed and is now reintroducing. I’m sure he will also be in Austin soon pandering to us soon.
The easiest way to tell that a company or industry is not in Doug Ford’s pocket is when he advocates for a change that actually benefits the people of Ontario.
