Junk Fees Draining My Pockets 🤬

A single tweet from Alex Friedman stopped me in my tracks:
“$335 for the ticket. $123 in fees—for what?”

8.1 million views later, the outrage was loud, but solutions were silent.

The thread kept me awake that night so around midnight when everyone was asleep, I cracked open my Mac and started prototyping a browser extension to see if I could surface those hidden fees in real time.

The mission 🎯
TruFare AI exists so fans can pay for the seat, not the surprise.

Fee Reveal – real‑time breakdown of every hidden charge.
Price Predictions – AI‑powered forecasts on when to buy.
TruFare Chat – an in‑browser assistant ready to answer, “Will these prices drop after Friday?” or “Show me similar seats under $150.”

Why we’ll win 🏆
User‑first DNA – we’ll never sell your data; revenue comes from optional premium insights.

Transparency flywheel – every ticket tracked sharpens our prediction model, saving fans even more.

And yes, that late night prototype already works on Ticketmaster and SeatGeek.

Let’s make junk fees history, one ticket at a time.
