Hidden Fees Hike the Cost of Lodging, Event Tickets

By Miriam Cross, AARP. Published July 28, 2025.

It’s a similar story of sticker shock with live-event tickets. Companies pile all kinds of fees onto tickets for concerts, theater and sports, whether they’re convenience fees for buying online or processing fees to cover shipping and handling.
