A section that gave named FIFA World Cup 2026 ticket businesses special exemptions from Ontario's ticket-resale price cap and disclosure rules has been revoked. The businesses previously covered — including FIFA and several On Location entities — no longer have any regulatory carve-out under this instrument. Any ticket business selling or facilitating sales of FIFA World Cup 2026 tickets in Ontario is now subject to the standard rules of the Ticket Sales Act, 2017, including the requirement to charge no more than the face value plus permitted fees and to meet disclosure obligations. Businesses involved in FIFA World Cup 2026 ticket sales should review their compliance obligations under the Act.
