Ticker: Ticketmaster says it will display fees more clearly; Mexico: Suspension of beef imports because of screwworm unfair
Ticketmaster said it would start displaying the full price of a ticket as soon as consumers begin shopping as a ban on “junk fees” begins.
Ticketmaster, long a subject of complaints about its hidden fees, was among those targeted by the new rule, which was announced in December by the Federal Trade Commission. The rule requires ticket sellers, hotels, vacation rental platforms and others to disclose processing fees, cleaning fees and other charges up front.
Ticketmaster said it agreed with the FTC’s action.
Ticketmaster said it will also tell customers where they are in line when they log in to buy tickets to an event. It will also give real-time updates to customers whose wait times exceed 30 minutes, letting them know ticket price ranges, availability and whether new event dates have been added.
Mexico: Suspension of beef imports because of screwworm unfair
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum on Monday described as “unfair” the decision by the Trump administration to suspend imports of Mexican beef cattle for 15 days due to the detection of screwworm in shipments.
Sheinbaum, who has spent the past few months scrambling to offset tariff threats by U.S. President Donald Trump, said she hoped the suspension would not result in another economic blow for her country.
