Bruuuuuce!

[Consumer Reports]   When it comes to fighting concert ticket fees, it’s, ‘No retreat, baby, no surrender!’ A bill has just been reintroduced in Congress that will end the practice of tacking on fees right before you buy an event ticket. The BOSS Act – named after Bruce ‘The Boss’ Springsteen – will require Ticketmaster, StubHub and other ticket sellers to disclose all fees before you select a ticket to buy, and makes sure the price doesn’t change during the purchase process. [Ask your members of Congress to Back the BOSS Act now! We can finally get an end to hidden ticket fees if we put on the pressure and demand change!](  [Take Action](  Lawmakers reintroduced the BOSS Act after Consumer Reports recently faced off with Ticketmaster and other ticket sellers in Washington, D.C., over the industry’s practice of adding an average of 27 percent of a ticket’s face value in fees. The companies said that day they support transparency in ticket pricing, but also said they would not voluntarily do it without a law. The BOSS ACT, which was first introduced in Congress after the best seats for a Springsteen concert were withheld from sale, would finally rein in ticket sellers and their sneaky tricks. It will make sure you know upfront a ticket’s true price before you buy, so you can comparison shop. If you’re sick and tired of ticket fees, it’s critical you speak out now so your members of Congress know you want this law! [Send your message now to your elected officials to Back the BOSS Act,]( because if this bill passes, someday we’ll look back on ticket fees and it will all seem funny!  [Take Action](  Do you have friends and family who hate ticket fees, or love the Boss? Please share this with them, so they can join you in taking action. Looking forward to holding up my lighter when this passes! Thank you!
