What the total includes
Under the FTC’s live-event ticket fee rule, businesses must disclose the total price including mandatory fees upfront. The rule permits certain items such as government charges or shipping to be excluded from the upfront total, with the final payment amount disclosed before payment. Optional add-ons can also change the final total. Apply any offer and confirm its effect on the order summary.
A sample comparison
| Same performance, two seats | Total | Per seat |
|---|---|---|
| Seller A: $220 displayed total plus $8 in applicable charges | $228 | $114 |
| Seller B: $240 displayed total, then $20 in eligible savings | $220 | $110 |
These are illustrative figures. Before using a real comparison, match section, row, view restrictions, refund terms and delivery method. Compare the difference for the entire party, especially if some charges are assessed per order.
