Ticket Sellers Agree to End Hidden Fees After Meeting With President Biden
- The White House held a meeting with ticket sellers to push for the end of hidden fees added at checkout.
- Ticketmaster, Live Nation, and SeatGeek have agreed to start displaying the full price of tickets upfront to avoid surprising consumers with fees.
- The move comes after Ticketmaster received backlash for high fees and technical issues, and Biden has called for ending "junk fees" across industries.
- While the overall ticket price will remain unchanged, showing the full cost upfront will help consumers make more informed purchasing decisions.
- The agreement is a win for the Biden administration's campaign to increase price transparency for consumers.
