US Lawsuit Could Break Up Ticket Giant, Lower Concert Prices
The U.S. Department of Justice and 30 states are suing Live Nation, alleging it operates a monopoly that harms fans and artists. While a tentative settlement was proposed, several states are pushing for a full breakup of the company, arguing the deal won't fix the monopoly problem. Artists are also beginning to challenge ticketing practices directly, with one singer successfully pushing for price caps on resale tickets.
