Queen’s Park is expected to address skyrocketing ticket prices in connection to The Tragically Hip’s summer tour Wednesday afternoon, after the Attorney General said she would investigate the issue.

This comes after the recent announcement from the Canadian band that their lead singer Gord Downie was diagnosed with incurable brain cancer. The band said they would embark on what could be their final tour this summer, with three Toronto dates set for August.

Tickets went on presale Monday and only minutes later, many tickets appeared for resale at exorbitant prices on websites like StubHub and Kijiji.

According to new revisions to Ontario’s Ticket Speculation Act in 2015, the selling of tickets greater than face value is legal as long as the reseller offers a money back guarantee or proves the ticket’s authenticity.

Entertainment lawyer Daniel Goldenberg said the revision to the law “enabled larger entities, first party sellers, to sell tickets directly to the public.”

Attorney General Madeleine Meilleur told reporters on Tuesday that the government was lobbied to make the change and the intent was to keep prices from rising.

Meilleur said she wants to fix the problem, but would not reveal any plans.

Goldenberg said it was “just part of the deal” that some would be forced to miss out on the concert.

“We’re in a city of millions of people,” he said. “The Tragically Hip have millions of fans.”

The Progressive Conservative Party said they intend to ask the government pointed questions about ticket sales on Wednesday afternoon. MPP Todd Smith said he will specifically mention Ticketmaster.

During the question period at Queen’s Park Wednesday morning, Smith suggested that corporate giants have been going to legislatures around the world to change ticket sale laws so they can “turn the screws on the consumers.”

He said Toronto has seen skyrocketing ticket prices before, when musicians like Adele and Bruce Springsteen came to the city to perform.

StubHub responded Monday on Twitter to the public outcry from fans by saying they had donated $2 million “in support of charitable benefit events.” They said as a “free and open marketplace, StubHub is committed to ensuring fans have access to buy and sell tickets.”
