Hey Strangers,

The United States Department of Justice and 30 state attorneys general filed a lawsuit against Live Nation Entertainment, the parent company of Ticketmaster, for alleged monopolistic practices.

Live Nation and Ticketmaster merged in 2010, creating a dominant entertainment machine that controls the majority of ticket sales and venue bookings in the country. But Taylor Swift fans’ experience buying tickets for the Eras tour in late 2022 was so horrific that legislators took a closer look at the entertainment giant’s control over the industry — the presale was riddled with glitches and hours-long wait times, while the public sale was canceled due to high traffic.

“Live Nation suffocates its competition using a variety of tactics, from acquisitions of smaller regional promoters and venues, to threats and retaliation to agreements with rivals,” said U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland in a press conference on Thursday.
