How the FTC's new regulations will impact ticket and lodging purchases

The FTC has introduced a new rule to eliminate hidden "junk fees" in ticketing and short-term lodging, promoting price transparency throughout the purchasing process. Before finalizing purchases, consumers must be informed of all surcharges and fees to avoid unexpected costs. The regulation aims to protect consumers and is seen as overdue by many. Consumers are encouraged to report any hidden fees or concerns about pricing practices to the FTC through their website.
