Starting May 12, with All In Prices, you’ll be able to find tickets within your budget right away, with no surprises at checkout. That’s because you’ll see the cost of your ticket—including fees, before taxes—from the moment you start shopping for any Ticketmaster event in the U.S.

More importantly, we’re all in on putting fans first. We’ve long advocated for all-in pricing laws worldwide, and support a consistent ticket-buying experience for fans.

Which button do I press to doubt?

devil's advocate: other sellers would still do it if they didn't, which would make ticketmaster's tickets look more expensive initially. a law makes everyone equal again so they can compete on price/etc directly

It's an interesting idea. Sometimes you up vote something because you hate the sentiment or content but want others to see it. Other times you down vote it to show disapproval of the content or sentiment. What we really need is a 3rd button with a middle finger to reject it.
