Tickets for Taylor Swift’s Friday concert in Toronto are at minimum $ 4,654 .

Politicians are calling for action by governments to prevent future concert-goers facing sky-high prices.

A big issue in Canada is that Ticketmaster and its parent company LiveNation “control” the primary market for ticket sales.

Competition Bureau of Canada said it enforces the Competition Act , including provisions around price-fixing and abuse of dominant positions.

Earlier this year , the U.S. took action against Ticketmaster and LiveNation , accusing them of running an illegal monopoly over live events and asking a court to break up the system.
