TL;DR Summary

Ticketmaster, owned by Live Nation, is accused of hiding fees behind logins and menus, despite previously promising to display all-in pricing. A report by NBC News found that extra fees were still hidden behind multiple clicks, with the total price only visible after signing in or navigating through filter menus. Live Nation Ticketmaster representatives have disputed the report's accuracy and claimed to have contacted NBC for correction. Senator Amy Klobuchar has addressed Ticketmaster in a letter, demanding improved visibility of all-in pricing by the end of the month. Excessive fees have long been a source of frustration for concertgoers, travelers, and sports fans, with the issue gaining attention during Taylor Swift's tour last year.
