Did you or someone you know get tickets to Taylor Swift or any other
concert, show, or sporting event in the last few years?

Right at the end of your transaction, were expensive fees suddenly tacked
on -- making the final price much higher than you expected?

If yes, those were what's called "junk fees" -- and you can fight back.

[ [link removed] ]We are recruiting an army of people willing to fight for policies that
end junk fees by Ticketmaster, airlines, hotels, cell and cable companies,
banks, and more. Click here to fight back.

And, [ [link removed] ]chip in to our fight against junk fees here.

On the page, we give you the option to describe in detail how junk fees
have impacted you. We want to elevate these stories in the media and with
lawmakers. The more vivid, the more powerful -- like this story from Kayla
C. about event ticket fees:

"I got tickets yesterday on Ticketmaster and they were originally $55 with
an additional $11.90 processing fee and $3 service fee...Events are
important to local economies and I can't tell you the number of events I
have passed up because the fees (as well as resellers) make them
completely unreasonably expensive."

And this from Kathy K.: "I purchased 4 tickets to a Jeff Dunham show. The
fees I paid would have purchased 1 1/2 tickets."

President Biden has called for new policies against junk fees. Some
actions require new laws, but two of our top allies have already begun
using existing power to fight junk fees -- Lina Khan, who chairs the FTC,
and Rohit Chopra, who chairs Elizabeth Warren’s Consumer Financial
Protection Bureau.

In his 2023 State Of The Union, Biden said:

I know how unfair it feels when a company overcharges you and gets away
with it…

We’ll ban surprise "resort fees" that hotels tack on to your bill. These
fees can cost you up to $90 a night at hotels that aren’t even resorts.

We’ll make cable internet and cell phone companies stop charging you up to
$200 or more when you decide to switch to another provider.

We’ll cap service fees on tickets to concerts and sporting events and make
companies disclose all fees upfront.

And we’ll prohibit airlines from charging up to $50 round trip for
families just to sit together. Baggage fees are bad enough – they can’t
just treat your child like a piece of luggage.

Americans are tired of being played for suckers. Pass the Junk Fee
Prevention Act so companies stop ripping us off.
