News coverage last night on the "junk fees" legislation Congress is considering, making companies disclose hidden service fees upfront. Airlines are famous for this, but many other industries as well. For instance, shopping for rare CDs online, you sometimes find somebody offering one for $30 but charging over $200 for shipping.
Anyway, the example they used on TV was Taylor Swift concert tickets in New York that very week. Tickets were $1500 a seat, but junk fees were another $500. Two thousand dollars to attend a concert, that you had to beg mom & dad to buy you.
Yikes. I thought ticket prices were nuts in MY day.
