Biden and Swift's push to end hidden fees in ticket sales gains momentum.

TL;DR Summary
Ticketmaster, the largest ticket seller in the US, will begin disclosing fees upfront after a public campaign against the company by Taylor Swift fans and a proposed regulation by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Live Nation, which owns Ticketmaster, and other ticketing companies committed to disclosing all fees at the start of the sale process, eliminating what President Biden and the FTC have described as “junk fees.” The move comes as lawmakers in Washington are weighing legislation to prohibit such fees.
