Ticketing Fee Triple-Dipping
Ticketing Fee Triple-Dipping is a practice in the music industry, notably attributed to Ticketmaster and Live Nation, where they allegedly collect fees multiple times on a single ticket. This occurs by charging fees to brokers during the initial ticket purchase, again when those tickets are resold by brokers, and potentially a third time from the final buyer¹. This practice has been a central point in recent lawsuits filed by the FTC against Live Nation and Ticketmaster².
