Plain-language summary · AI-assisted · not legal advice

The Ticket Sales Act, 2017 has been added in full to all three designation schedules under Ontario's regulatory modernization framework. This means the entire Ticket Sales Act is now subject to the streamlined compliance and enforcement tools available under that framework, including provisions related to inspections, compliance orders, and publication of compliance information. Businesses and individuals who sell tickets — such as primary sellers, resellers, and ticket marketplace operators — may now be subject to those modernized regulatory tools. Anyone operating in the ticket sales space should be aware that oversight of this legislation can now be exercised through these expanded mechanisms.
