Biden announces Live Nation and Ticketmaster will allow consumers to see all fees up front

Published Tue, 18 Feb 2025 23:40:48 GMT

(CNN) — President Joe Biden announced from a White House roundtable on Thursday that entertainment giant Live Nation (LYV) and ticketing behemoth Ticketmaster have pledged to give US consumers the ability to see the full price of tickets up front, minimizing the frequently frustrating experience of watching additional fees add up late in the checkout process when buying online.The announcement came amid increased pressure on the industry from debacles over exorbitant ticketing fees and as the president has urged Congress to pass legislation targeting other hidden costs paid by consumers throughout the economy. It marked Biden’s latest effort to address kitchen-table issues as economic concerns remain top of mind for voters heading into the 2024 election.“The solution is what is called ‘all-in pricing’ and that’s where companies fully disclose their fees up front, when you start shopping, so you’re not surprised at the end when you check out,” Biden said at the White House event.“Pre...

If all had gone according to plan, Domingo German wouldn’t have been in the Yankees’ season-opening rotation.But injuries to Carlos Rodon, Luis Severino and Frankie Montas created multiple opportunities, and German has seized his. With Gerrit Cole leading the staff, German has been the Yankees’ second-best starter, taking a 3.49 ERA into Friday’s start against Boston. The right-hander has been even better over his last seven games, pitching to the tune of a 2.20 ERA while totaling 41 innings, 12 walks and 31 strikeouts.German did miss 10 games due to a sticky stuff suspension, but he’s otherwise been a reliable presence for a rotation that has had three starters on the injured list all season.According to German, his recent success stems from his desire to remain healthy. He began last season on the IL with shoulder impingement syndrome, so he knew he wanted to focus on strengthening his shoulder this past offseason.“I was able to put myself in re...
