Furthermore, the ''Cremation, Interment and Funeral Services Act'', SBC 2004, c35 [''CIFSA''] governs much of the activity surrounding the handling of human remains, including the disposition, exhumation, removal, transportation, and storage of these remains. This legislation also dictates contractual requirements for contractual interactions between consumers and services including crematoria, funeral providers, and cemeteries, as well as containing stipulations for other types of interactions between consumers and these services. | Furthermore, the ''Cremation, Interment and Funeral Services Act'', SBC 2004, c35 [''CIFSA''] governs much of the activity surrounding the handling of human remains, including the disposition, exhumation, removal, transportation, and storage of these remains.

== L. Ticket Sales == | |||
The ''Ticket Sales Act'', SBC 2019 [TSA], has come into force to regulate the conduct and practices of primary and secondary ticket sellers. | |||
Primary ticket sellers are persons who are the original ticket seller or promoter. Secondary ticket sellers are persons who sell tickets that were originally made available by primary ticket sellers, in other words ticket re-sellers. Notably, the TSA prohibits software that is meant to circumvent security, access and control measures that are meant to ensure an equitable ticket buying process, in other words, many types of bots. It also requires disclosure of the total price of the ticket, including additional fees, and the face value of the ticket. The TSA also offers guarantees and protections to consumers in cases where their ticket is unusable because of counterfeit or cancellations. | |||
Section 8 of the TSA also has prohibitions in respect to related primary and secondary ticket sellers. Secondary ticket sellers who are related to the primary ticket seller must not make a ticket available for sale unless the primary ticket seller already made that ticket available for sale to the public. For example, in G''omel v. Live Nation Entertainment, Inc.'', 2021 BCSC 699, Ticketmaster, a primary ticket seller, was also participating in the secondary ticket market for resale tickets, and only on tickets where it was also the primary ticket seller. Section 8 of the TSA now means that for these types of tickets, Ticketmaster must make them available on the primary market to the public before they can re-sell them on the secondary market. | |||
