  "account": "TORONTO — Ontario's consumer protection authority has imposed a $20,000 fine on ticket reseller StubHub Canada Ltd. for two violations under a recently enacted law that mandates tickets be sold at face value. The province's consumer beware website indicates a $10,000 penalty for offering a ticket for sale at a price above face value, and another $10,000 for facilitating a transaction without verifying the original price. Both fines were administered on September 9, though the website does not specify which events the penalties are linked to. StubHub Canada and the province have yet to comment on the fines.",
