It won’t be an easy win, since the giant ticket companies prefer keeping buyers in the dark

[Consumer Reports]   Dear Friend, You know the drill. You’re searching for seats for a ballgame or your favorite band, and when you get to checkout, you gasp: “What the fee!?” Hidden junk fees that pop up at the end of the ticket buying process can add as much as 30 percent to the advertised price. This unfair, anti-consumer practice hides the real price for a seat, making it impossible to shop for the best deal. But we can change that. The TICKET Act would require upfront disclosure of the complete ticket price – including all fees – at the get-go, so we can start seeing real prices and real competition in the ticket selling marketplace. This pro-consumer bill is being considered TODAY in Congress. [Let’s flood offices with messages of support right now.]( It won’t be an easy win, since the giant ticket companies prefer keeping buyers in the dark on prices.  [Send a Message »](  We’ve heard from thousands of you about your frustration with junk fees, especially those added to event tickets. Like Craig from Vermont, who recently tried to buy seats to see comedian Colin Jost. “The website said $59 for a seat. By the time the box office tacked on all the taxes and fees it was up to $72 per ticket and change. I complained to the theater and said they should just tell the customer up front what the ticket will cost.” The TICKET Act will do just that, ending the bait-and-switch that some ticket sellers use to lure customers in. If passed, all ticket sellers must disclose upfront the complete ticket price – equipping consumers with the information needed to make informed purchasing decisions. And, we expect more competition among sellers, since the true cost of what they are charging for a seat will be easy to compare. Of course, we’re up against some of the giant ticket companies, so we need every consumer voice to get this bill through Congress. [Please email your Senators and Representative now, and urge them to pass the TICKET Act.](  [Send a Message »](  Thank you for working with us to make the ticket marketplace more transparent and competitive. Please share this with everyone you know who’s fed up with junk fees, and let’s get this pro-consumer bill passed!
