Ticketmaster’s still hiding ticket fees, senator says::Live Nation-Ticketmaster promised to scrap its hidden fees, but one senator says the company’s not doing nearly enough.
Of course they are. How else are they going to post record-breaking profits for the shareholders?
We really need some strong trust busting administration to get elected, although it may be too late at this point.

Doesn’t the law take effect in June 2024? I can’t imagine that shitty company complying with it a day earlier than that are required to.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Live Nation, the parent company of Ticketmaster, promised to scrap the hidden fees plaguing its ticketing service earlier this year.
In a letter to Live Nation CEO Michael Rapino Wednesday, Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) called on the company to turn on an “all-in” pricing filter that it added this year by default.
“Millions of Americans rely on your company for the chance to see their favorite artist, band, or sports team,” Klobuchar wrote.
“In return for their business and trust, your customers expect a transparent and honest ticket buying process free from hidden fees.”
Back in June, Live Nation, along with AirBnB, SeatGeek, and DICE, pledged to disclose the full price of their tickets and services as part of an agreement with the White House to reduce “junk fees.” At the time, Live Nation said that these new rules would start applying to events in September.
“If we had the power to do that it would have been part of our commitment to the White House and our June 15 announcement,” a Live Nation spokesperson told NBC News Wednesday.

It’s almost like it’s their business model, and to do away with it would stop them from giving their management raises and bonuses.
Yet people keeping buying their overpriced tickets! Stop buying expensive tickets with hidden fees!
Guess the swifties couldn’t change that shit after all, huh?
