FTC Finalizes Bipartisan Rule Banning Hidden Junk Fees on Hotels, Vacation Rentals, and Event Tickets
Dec 17, 2024, 05:35 PM
The US Federal Trade Commission (FTC), under Chair Lina Khan, has finalized a bipartisan rule that bans hidden "junk fees" on hotel bookings, vacation rentals, and live event tickets. Announced on December 17, 2024, the rule mandates that businesses, including ticket sellers and live-event promoters, must disclose total prices upfront, including any additional fees such as "resort fees," "convenience fees," or "service fees." Supported by the Biden administration, this move aims to enhance price transparency and prevent companies from using deceptive pricing tactics by concealing extra charges until the final stages of the checkout process. The new regulation is expected to save American consumers time and money by ensuring they know the full cost of their purchases without unexpected charges.
