It's not fair to consumers to get charged high add-on fees for tickets to sporting events or concerts, let alone deal with the frustration of buying tickets online, Sen. Ted Cruz tells Newsmax, and he's fighting back with legislation called the Ticket Act.
"I've teamed up with Maria Cantwell, who is the Democrat from Washington state. She's the chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee. I'm the ranking member, the senior Republican on the Commerce Committee," the Texas Republican explained on Newsmax's "Wake Up America."
"This legislation requires that ticket brokers disclose the total cost upfront so you can see right at the beginning how much it's going to cost you. You don't get surprised at the end," he added.
