Ontario's new legislation capping resale ticket prices at face value has frustrated season ticket holders. The law, which came into effect last month, makes it harder for fans to offset costs by selling tickets to games they can't attend. Season ticket holders, like Ryan Van Horne, who pays $5,000 a year for Toronto Raptors tickets, are reconsidering their subscriptions. Some fans are resorting to giving away tickets or using unprotected sales methods on social media or outside venues. The province says the law makes it 'easier and more affordable for families to attend concerts, cultural events and sporting events.' A public consultation on the policy is ongoing until May 10.
