- Ticketmaster will now display all-in ticket prices upfront, complying with a new federal rule banning hidden "junk fees."
- This change, effective Monday, is part of the former Biden administration's broader effort to increase price transparency in industries like ticketing, hospitality, and vacation rentals.
- Ticketmaster claims to have supported all-in pricing for a while and will also provide queue updates and ticket availability information to customers.
- SeatGeek, another ticketing platform, has also adopted all-in pricing as the default setting.
- This move follows recent scrutiny of Ticketmaster, including a lawsuit by the US Department of Justice alleging monopolistic practices and an executive order by Donald Trump aimed at curbing ticket scalping.
