Ontario Premier Doug Ford says the province is contemplating legislation to cap ticket resale prices as Toronto Blue Jays fans complain of sky-high resale prices that leave many unable to afford World Series tickets.

Game 1 is set for Oct. 24 in Toronto, but many fans are being priced out of attending home games after the rapid sellout of tickets on Oct. 21. Resale tickets swiftly emerged on Ticketmaster’s platform, listed at prices significantly higher than their original value, with totals ranging from just over $1,000 to more than $7,000 each for Game 1. Some tickets for the final home game are priced above $10,000 each.
