Ticket resale rules updated as new provisions of the Ticket Sales Act take effect
Protecting What Matters Most Act (Budget Measures), 2019, S.O. 2019, c. 7
Plain-language summary · AI-assisted · not legal advice
A previously dormant section of Ontario's ticket-sales legislation has now been officially activated by government order, meaning its requirements are legally in force and enforceable. The specific provision amended the Ticket Sales Act, 2017, though the precise operational change it introduces is not described in the available text. Businesses involved in selling, reselling, or facilitating ticket transactions in Ontario should review their practices against the current Ticket Sales Act to confirm compliance. If you have not already done so, consulting the updated Act directly or seeking legal advice is the practical next step.
