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.
