The president recognized several ticketing companies — including Airbnb, SeatGeek and Ticketmaster parent company Live Nation — at the White House.

Several ticketing and travel companies are committing to get rid of hidden fees for buyers in the United States, President Joe Biden announced Thursday.

“This deal shows collective bargaining works,” Biden said at the White House. “When employers and workers come together to agree on a deal that works for both of them, it’s good for the economy and keeping our supply chain open.” In the last year, the president has made reducing these hidden surcharges a priority, calling for an end to junk fees in hisin February.
