Less than two years ago, StubHub opted for an “all-in” pricing structure, in which tickets for concerts and sporting events are listed at the true price paid by consumers, including all fees. The standard among ticket resellers, meanwhile, was to list base prices to tickets, to which a range of fees was added at the last minute, when the consumer was ready to pay. At the time, StubHub boasted about the transparency of its all-in Read more [...]
