According to the Canadian Press, the Ontario Government is about to introduce legislation that will stop companies like Ticketmaster from being such wieners when it comes to reselling their own tickets. According to the government’s website, “the legislation, if passed, would prohibit related primary and secondary ticket sellers from selling tickets to the same event. An individual fine of up to $5,000 and a corporate fine of up to $50,000 would also be created for violations.” Just three months ago, Ticketmaster was the target of a half-billion-dollar lawsuit alleging that the company scalped its own tickets on TicketsNow.com (a site it owns, too).
