Amid growing concerns over hidden fees, the FTC's new rule, effective May 12, mandates that hotels and ticket sellers must disclose all mandatory fees upfront. This rule targets "junk fees"âextra costs for services travelers may not want or expectâsuch as resort and cleaning fees. It applies across the board, including live event ticket companies like Ticketmaster, ensuring that total prices reflect all required charges. While the actual amounts paid remain unchanged, customers can now see total costs without surprises, promoting transparency in pricing.
The new FTC rule transforms hotel and ticket pricing by mandating transparent fee disclosure, ending reliance on hidden charges while ensuring consumers know total costs upfront.
This rule ensures that mandatory fees, like resort and cleaning fees, are included in the total price, preventing misunderstood pricing and enhancing consumer clarity.
