With tickets to the Blue Jays World Series games selling for thousands of dollars over original cost, the Ontario NDP is calling on the government to pass legislation that would ban marking up the price of resale tickets.

The motion put forward by the NDP looks to update the Ticket Sales Act to combat fraud, and predatory pricing by banning the sale of tickets above face value, but did not mention how this policy would be enforced.

“Here's the choice we're putting towards Conservatives. You can either vote with us to finally end ticket gouging once and for all, or keep siding with the resellers and leave fans on the sidelines,” said Leader Marit Stiles at a news conference Wednesday. WATCH | Fans react to Jays ticket costs:
