All-in ticket prices are now US law: StubHub pays $10M, and the TICKET Act still waits on the Senate

StubHub has agreed to pay $10 million to settle FTC charges that it hid mandatory fees in the three days after the FTC's fee rule took effect on 12 May 2025. That rule already makes all-in pricing the law for US live-event tickets. The TICKET Act, which would add a ban on speculative tickets and refund rights, passed the House 409-15 almost a year ago and still has no Senate vote. For artists, the rule changes what fans see, not what they pay or who gets the money.
