Ontario legislation goes into effect today which is intended to prevent counterfeit tickets being sold online. The regulation under the Ticket Speculation Act will allow ticket holders to resell their tickets at more than their face value as long as the tickets are verified by the original vendor or are resold with a money-back guarantee. The government will leave policing of this to the re-sellers. Critics note this essentially legalizes scalpers (re-sellers) and permits them to buy up whole lots of tickets. CBC’s Michelle Chung
