I am really surprised there's no mention of "resort fees" at hotels. These are very large fees that you cannot opt out of. What a complete joke. The majority of hotels in Las Vegas have them and anything labeled resort has them.
We’re working on getting bipartisan support in the House, which I believe is doable. So it’s possible we can get the Senate to move our junk fee bill too
I don't hate this, but it still seems like a "fighting the symptoms" situation, because even if Ticketmaster rolls their fees up into a single shown price, I STILL have to pay the price because they're a monopoly. Seems like the juicier target would be to break Ticketmaster apart, or take some sort of anti-monopoly action in the ticketing industry.
Yeah, I mean, I did literally say that exact thing. But that's also why I like the across the board approach, because in less concentrated industries it will have more of an effect on price.

Thanks for the shoutout Pat! More to come soon
PA resident here; excited for this!!! Don't think it can pass the Senate but you never know.

Yeah, your Senate is, uhhhh, tough. But hey, weirder things have happened?
