FIFA’s marketplace for resale World Cup tickets no longer has seats listed for Toronto matches after a new price cap came into effect last week.
The Ontario legislation bans people and platforms from reselling seats to events in the province for more than face value.
FIFA says its resale platform is being reconfigured to comply with the legislation that became law Friday.
It says listings for Toronto’s World Cup games haven’t been deleted but are in limbo and are expected to be relisted once the system changes are complete.
FIFA’s marketplace still has listings for World Cup games in every other host city but Toronto.
Resale platform StubHub also continues to sell seats above face value to World Cup matches in Toronto. Spokesperson Jack Sterne tells The Canadian Press the company met with the province and still has outstanding questions about how to comply with the legislation, but will be updating its systems to obey the law.
