US EditionTicketmaster Says It Doesn't 'Set or Control' Ticket Prices in Response to Uproar over Jays World Series Resale Costs
Premier Doug Ford predicts the Blue Jays will win in six games and condemns ticket resellers charging up to $2,000, promising government action against gouging.
- On Oct. 23, 2025 Ontario Premier Doug Ford predicted the Toronto Blue Jays will win the World Series and said he will watch from his man cave due to high ticket prices.
- Ford's government previously killed a resale-cap measure and paused a Ticket Sales Act section after the 2018 election, cancelling part of the rule amid enforcement concerns.
- Data-first: Fans complained of sky-high resale prices soon after World Series tickets went on sale, and Ford said he will not pay 1,500 bucks for a ticket.
- Vowing action, Ford said ticket resellers would `pay the price` as his government revisits resale-gouging measures and noted his Asia trip is the `worst-timed trip` during the Series.
- The Blue Jays advanced on Monday and will face the L.A. Dodgers, defending champions, while Ticketmaster said it appreciates concern but does not set ticket prices.
