In 2019, Ticketmaster agreed to pay a $10 million fine to the US government for deceiving customers about the fees it charged for tickets. The company had been running a scheme in which it hid the true cost of tickets by disguising the fees as “order processing” or “shipping” charges. This practice led to customers being overcharged by millions of dollars. ticketmaster 10m theverge
