Quebec's ticket resale law enforces a price cap on secondary ticket sales but allows event rights-holders to authorize resale above the cap selectively. This grants significant control to producers and presenters over which resale platforms can offer tickets above the maximum price, potentially limiting competition among marketplaces.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of E-commerce.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You must re-evaluate your resale partnerships in Quebec as event rights-holders now pick who can sell above the price cap, leaving some marketplaces unable to compete legally. This creates an opening to forge exclusive deals or face restricted market access.
