AG Dana Nessel is reminding consumers to be aware of potential price gouging tied to the event. Michigan law prohibits retailers from charging prices that are “grossly in excess” of what others are charging for the same thing. However, a general rise in prices does not automatically equal price gouging. Hotels and parking structures often adjust rates for high-demand events like the Detroit Auto Show. Nessel encourages consumers to shop around and compare rates and other expenses in advance to secure the best rate.
