Ticketmaster and mobile ticket vendor SeatGeek will no longer hide fees from total ticket costs amid pressure from President Joe Biden for companies to ditch so-called "junk fees."

The moves come after Live Nation Entertainment, the parent company of Ticketmaster, faced criticism from the White House and Congress in January over ticket sales for pop star Taylor Swift's tour that included exorbitant hidden fees and platform outages, preventing some fans from buying tickets.
