DOJ Sues Ticketmaster and Live Nation Over Concert Monopoly
TL;DR Summary
The Justice Department is suing Ticketmaster and Live Nation, alleging monopolistic practices that stifle competition and drive up ticket prices. The lawsuit aims to break up Live Nation Entertainment to allow more competition in the U.S. ticket-selling market. While this could eventually lead to cheaper tickets, experts warn that any changes will take years to materialize. The case has been bolstered by public outcry over issues like those experienced during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour ticket sales.
