All that changed is now they have to tell you precisely how they’re fucking you over.
If it didn't negatively affect their bottom line they'd do it already. They only hide the real price because a non-zero portion of people will go through making an account, picking seats, get to the end screen with the real price, and say "fuck it I'm going anyway." If showing the real price upfront drives away even a small percentage of those people it's a huge amount of lost revenue for a company selling millions of tickets.
Which is why the law is a good thing, because you can't count on companies to do the right thing if it doesn't make them money.
I await the flood of companies complaining about what is clearly an advantage for customers.
Cool now do sales tax.
As a shop owner, yes please.
Booo! They should make all prices work like the US healthcare system where no one has any idea what the price will be at the point of sale and then you get a bill a few months later that’s based on if you have a good job, are a veteran, are old, indigent, etc.
It’ll be great. Instead of Ticketmaster, we’ll all have concert insurance provided by our boss. You get your tickets anytime you want and then a program written in COBOL will decide what you deserve to pay unless Congress has decided to favor you.

omg lmaooo 🤣
If I'm reading this right, this means that cable TV companies will have to include the broadcast TV surcharge amount in the quoted price since it is a requirement of having a TV package that includes local stations. Can't wait to see if that's the case. I work in that field and I've always thought it was unfair that it is not disclosed in advertised prices despite having climbed to over $20 for many carriers. Your nice seeming $40 cable bill leaps to over $60 and that is not advertised on the website where you look at pricing.
It's this end of tipping culture?
