Ottawa Now - Ford government doubles maximum fines for overpriced ticket resales ahead of FIFA World Cup
June 5, 2026
Ahead of the upcoming FIFA World Cup, the Ford government is more than doubling the maximum fine that can be handed out for selling tickets above their original value. In a news release issued Thursday morning, the province said that businesses and individuals who violate this legislation could face fines of $25,000 – up from $10,000 previously. Back in 2019, the governing Ontario PC’s scrapped a law that would cap ticket resale prices at 50 percent above initial face value, calling it ‘unenforceable’. But now, according to the province’s Minister of Public and Business Service Delivery and Procurement, times have changed. Stephen Crawford joins Kristy Cameron on Ottawa Now.
