"The Commission notes that the harms of bait-and-switch pricing and the
misrepresentation of fees and charges are particularly pronounced in industries such as these, in which most transactions occur online. Consumers trying to comparison shop across multiple websites, or even on the same website, when deciding what tickets to purchase or where to travel are unable to do so effectively because some businesses hide the true total price and instead force consumers to go to different sites and click through multiple webpages for each offer to learn the true total price"
Where as these are not typical concerns for movie producers and movie theaters which are already operated as a legal cartel.
- mschuster91 1y agoMovies are fungible and available in masses. Say a big hit name like AC/DC, they're showing up in some entire country once in a decade. The competition to get a ticket for this specific show is insane. A movie however? There's competition both in time (a showing is booked out? fine, I'll just go a week later), in venues (at least in most cities there's at least two) and there's an effective ceiling on price, particularly as consumers are already struggling financially.
