Ticketmaster's Hidden Fees Exposed: Deceptive Tactics Unveiled

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.

Ticket Companies Break Promise to End Hidden Fees Despite Biden's Push

SeatGeek, which committed to all-in pricing on Thursday, has been criticized for not using all-in prices even when legally required in New York. The company initially shows fee-less listings for tickets all over the venue map, and it's only after clicking that customers see the actual price, which is higher than initially advertised. New York State Senator James Skoufis, who sponsored the local bill, has expressed frustration with how ticketing companies have skirted the law. SeatGeek defended its system and its legality, saying it supports all-in pricing legislation at the state and federal level.

Pearl Jam Revamps Ticketing System for 2023 Tour

Pearl Jam is partnering with Live Nation to improve upon the Ticketmaster system for their upcoming tour. They will employ "all-in" ticket pricing, limit dynamic pricing to just 10% of tickets, and make tickets non-transferable to avoid scalping. Ticketmaster hopes more artists will follow Pearl Jam's lead in using all-in pricing. While some artists are trying to circumvent Ticketmaster altogether, others are taking steps to make things better.
