Episode description

Ticket Master/Live Nation makes $130 BILLION a year on fees selling tickets.  The Ticket Act would remove Junk fees from live event ticket purchases.  That's from Sally Greenberg, executive director of the National Consumers League, who also says there would be 'no more jumping through hoops on websites to see the actual price of a ticket and fake ticketing websites would go away.'

The Bill already passed the U.S. House of Representatives 388 to 24.  Now it goes to the Senate for a vote.  Please contact the Senators in your state to let them know how you want them to vote.
