StubHub fined for allegedly violating Ontario ticket resale law, plans to appeal
Original article ↗Key figures
Ontario’s Consumer Beware List showed Monday that StubHub was being fined a total of $20,000 for two alleged contraventions of a new ticketing law brought in during the spring.
Since the rules were introduced, companies like StubHub and SeatGeek — which was recently fined $25,000 — have complained the new resale rules are impossible to enforce.
The resale rules technically came into effect as soon as the budget received Royal Assent on April 24, but the government opted for an education-first approach, writing to secondary sellers like SeatGeek, StubHub, FIFA and VividSeat to tell them to get in line.
