re: Junk fees banned on ticketed events

As long as this rule truly falls within the power or discretion the actual law(s) have given the FTC (which isn’t always the case) it is a good thing (not sure about the aspect of it leveling the competitive playing field). Hopefully it limits hiding NIL supplemental fees added onto tickets.

If empowered by law and not limited to these 2 particular types of transactions I am not sure why it doesn’t remove this for more than “pricing for live-event tickets and short-term lodging” including the govt’s regulatory fees added for utilities & cellphone plans along with things like forced gratuity, fees added on by businesses for using credit cards instead of cash, car dealership add on fees, and so on that can also be just mentioned in the fine print at some places before you really see them in the total amount due.


If it’s not within the law than I am against it only because the end doesn’t justify the means just like with judicial overreach, and congress should be forced to act on these issues instead of judges or executive decrees or take not acting as a statement as well. I say this with Biden as President who I don’t like as well as when the person who received my support - Trump - gets inaugurated.

TBH, business travel used to be a lot more fun. I would love to be home more these days. The international stuff is still pretty cool though.

Only on the OT would mouth breathers be supporting a corporation’s right to tack on junk fees to their purchases.
