June 14 (Reuters) - Ticketmaster and other companies have agreed to offer consumers upfront, all-in pricing, the White House announced as it convened a meeting on Thursday to highlight efforts to crack down on so-called junk fees. President Joe Biden hosted a meeting at the White House of private companies - including Live Nation's (LYV.N) Ticketmaster, SeatGeek and Airbnb (ABNB.O) - which have committed to fully disclose fees to consumers upfront. It is part of Biden's broader effort to crack down on junk fees imposed by ticket companies, banks, airlines and other industries. Biden said he was focused on companies that slapped fees onto purchases at the end of the billing process, after consumers had done their comparison price shopping. Biden has called on Congress to pass legislation that mandates upfront, all-in pricing for all ticket sellers, bans surprise resort fees charged by hotels, eliminates early termination fees charged by cable, internet, and cellphone companies, and bans family seating fees on airlines.
