Aidan D’Souza and his family faced significant challenges securing FIFA World Cup tickets in Toronto, ultimately paying $2,500 each for three tickets amidst rising prices. With tickets selling out rapidly, many fans are forced to turn to the costly resale market, where prices soar to over $2,000, exacerbated by the removal of resale caps in Ontario. Critics argue this trend makes major events inaccessible to low- and middle-income fans, prompting calls for regulatory changes. As Ontario considers revisiting its resale laws, comparisons are drawn to consumer protections in Quebec and the UK.
