0:50Now PlayingPresident Joe Biden lauded ticketing websites Ticketmaster and SeatGeek Inc. for initiatives aimed at making it easier for consumers to see all the costs upfront for sports, concerts, and theater performances and urged other companies to adopt similar practices.
“The companies represented here today are voluntarily committed to all-in, upfront pricing,” Biden said at an event on eliminating junk fees Thursday at the White House. “I’m asking their competitors to follow suit and adopt all in upfront pricing as well.”

Biden said the change would benefit over 30 million customers.
