StubHub Fined $20,000 By Ontario Government Over Ticket Resale Laws

The ticket resale platform has been hit with two $10,000 fines for allegedly selling tickets above face value and facilitating a transaction without having proof of the original price, failing to comply with the province's recent legislation which prohibits reselling tickets above their original value.

Ontario is continuing its crackdown on ticket resales.

The Ontario government has fined the ticket resale platform StubHub $20,000 for acting in non-compliance of the province's Ticket Sales Act. The Ontario Consumer Beware List shows that StubHub has been hit with two fines, each worth $10,000, for allegedly "making a ticket available for sale above face value" and "facilitating a transaction without having proof of the original price."
