Scalpers in shambles
Have to think that official resale partners like Stubhub and Seatgeek will follow suit, it would be a bad look if they did not.
I am not in the scapling world so I my question may be ignorant, but couldn’t they work around by simply not using Ticketmaster?
You can not make this sh$t up. Seems like SeatGeek is actually trying to be ticket holders to lobby on behalf of the scalpers LOL.

What scoundrels
Maybe I’ll actually be able to fly out and attend my first home game next season then!
Had to buy tickets to Dave’s concert today and these resellers are out to lunch. Im glad anyone who makes a living of scalping tickets has to adapt or go bankrupt.
Just Doug fixing his own mistakes.
Good
Let’s see how long this last
… wouldn’t this just naturally raise the base price of tickets?
This is how it should be. In England touted tickets are illegal and can get you banned. The safest way to buy tickets is through the clubs ticket exchange where the prices are capped at whatever it was paid for, which is how you stop suits and non fans from coming to the games
Great news for the average fan. However…
Scalpers/Resellers are gonna shift back to unregulated posting places like Kijiji or Marketplace I think.
I guess Scalping will need to go old school again lol. Random guy outside yelling « tickets » .
We’ve already been through this, it’s not going to stick
Great news! Next can we cap the service fees that Ticketmaster is allowed to charge. There’s no reason they should be charging $50 service fees per ticket.
In the past, I’ve bought a ticket listed at $100. Ticketmaster charges $30 service fee. So I buy it for $130.
Then I realize I can’t go. I sell it at $130. Ticket master charges another $30 sales fee. Then they charge $30 to whoever buys it. So the next guy buys the $100 ticket for $190, and blames it on “scalpers” when it’s really just Ticketmaster being scummy and charging $90 fees on $100 tickets.
If the team is bad, no one wants to buy tickets above face value anyways.
If the team is good, and the tickets can’t be resold above face value, then I imagine they’ll be sold to friends/family instead of on these markets.
So this is pretty great if you know people with season’s tickets.
Off topic, but what about world cup tickets?
What about tickets already listed super high for future dates?
Holy shit! I was just saying this should happen the other day! Good on you, Ontario!
Now no one will buy leafs tickets.
What does this exactly mean/change?
Won’t scalpers just start selling tickets on other sites?
But if not, how much would a ticket now cost?
