    U.S. DOJ has chosen to settle with Live Nation, but a bipartisan group of AGs, including California, will continue this fight and get a better deal for consumers — the deal Americans deserve. Ticketmaster and Live Nation have manipulated the market and raked in the cash — not

    The Justice Department's lead lawyer in the Live Nation trial, David Dahlquist, didn't see the settlement until this morning, even though a term sheet was apparently signed last week. So the lobbyists left the DOJ's lead litigator out of the loop. Insane.

    FTC settles with ticketmaster, signs a deal thursday, and both sides manage to piss off the judge bigtime by not telling him. i guess he learned about it through bloomberg last night.... https://www.nytimes.com/... [image]

    This settlement falls short of what fans deserve. Breaking up Live Nation-Ticketmaster is the only way to loosen its grip on venues, artists, and fans. I'm introducing a bill to stop corrupt antitrust settlements and I'm glad states plan to continue the case to protect consumers.…

    Last week marked the start of the government's longstanding antitrust case against Ticketmaster, with executives set to take the stand before a jury. This week the Trump administration is entering into a cheap settlement, depriving artists, fans, and venues of full relief.
