FIFA removes Toronto World Cup resale tickets after new price cap legislation

FIFA has removed World Cup tickets for matches at Toronto's BMO Field stadium from their official resale marketplace after the Canadian province of Ontario passed legislation last week banning the reselling of event tickets above face value, Reuters reported. 

The bill, called the 'Putting Fans First Act', says no person shall make a ticket available for sale on the secondary market or facilitate the sale of a ticket on the secondary market for an amount that exceeds the ticket's face value.

FIFA operates the official resale and exchange marketplace for eligible ticket holders, which it says aims to protect fans and is subject to federal and local regulations, and has now acted after Ontario's 2026 budget bill passed on Thursday.
