StubHub Canada fined $20K under Ontario law capping tickets at face value
The province said one penalty covered an above-face-value listing and another covered a sale without proof of the original ticket price.
- On Monday, the Ontario government fined ticket reseller StubHub Canada Ltd. $20,000 for violating a recent law that caps ticket sales at face value.
- The company had been on notice since the spring, when Ontario sent 27 ticket resale websites letters announcing inspections for non-compliance with the new legislation.
- Two $10,000 penalties were issued on September 9 for allegedly selling tickets above face value and for facilitating transactions without proof of original pricing.
- StubHub Canada and the province did not provide immediate comment on the penalties, though the company continues listing resale tickets despite the new price cap rules.
- This follows the province adding SeatGeek Canada to its consumer beware list, fining the competitor $25,000 in August for violating the same price cap law.
