Ticketmaster’s scalper bot software doesn’t violate Canada’s anti-competitive business laws, the federal ruling body has found.

Then scalping should be legal for all. Bureau must have their hands in on it too. BS

Impossible to get tix online cuz ticket resellers are able to snap them up and then charge enormous markups.

Don’t buy tickets from ticketmaster, or in fact, at all! See how long they maintain their current practices when promoters stop using their service in response to this protest.

Well then change your rules!!!!!

'No violations here! Now pardon us while we pack all these free back stage passes for sold out shows into our trunks'

Another lame duck “we’re from the government and we’re here to help” overpaid useless bureaucracy. canpoli

another loss for the fans

A CBC afternoon interview stated the Competition Bureau's ruling did not deal with any illegality in bots acquiring the tickets but rather that Ticketmaster did not break any rules merely by helping bots sell them. In effect, bots must be prosecuted separately for their crimes.

Just dont buy scalper tickets no matter how bad you want them

😂 toothless regulation body, just dismantle the CompBureau , what a joke. Same regulator that was set up to promote airline & telecom comp flourish but then approves ALL takeovers & purchases. Weak! cdnpoli

Either the rules need to be changed or shut down the Competition Bureau because it’s obviously not doing what it’s supposed to be doing! You’d have to be nuts to think Ticket Master’s bots aren’t a violation!

Then the Competition Bureau is rigged too, cuz that's just not right.

And how many free ducats did they get for that finding.

Then the rules need to be changed.

How much did ticketmaster pay for these results? Bet the bots payed more

Then the rules are flawed.

Then Ticketmaster's rules need to be changed, immediately!!

Then change the rules melaniejoly

That's crooked!
