President Joe Biden is hosting executives from Live Nation, Airbnb and other companies at the White House to highlight his push to end junk fees that surprise consumers. Biden prioritized the effort to combat surprise or undisclosed fees in his State of the Union address and has called for legislation, regulation and private sector action to end them. At Thursday's White House event, Biden will announce actions by companies that have eliminated or plan to eliminate the fees. The consumer advocacy push is part of the Democratic president's pitch to voters ahead of his 2024 reelection bid that government can help improve their lives in big and small ways.
Not really sure how useful this is in reducing costs overall. My understanding of ticketmaster is its just resell, which will naturally be a heavily inflated price. Also its quite hilarious how under slight pressure they are willing to be upfront on fees, which means they will just grift money out of customers another way
