Federal jury finds Live Nation and Ticketmaster liable for monopolizing concert venues and ticketing services
A New York federal jury ruled Wednesday that Live Nation and its subsidiary Ticketmaster violated antitrust laws by monopolizing large concert venues and primary ticketing services. The jury found Live Nation liable for overcharging concertgoers by $1.72 per ticket since 2010, totaling $595 million in additional charges in 2025 alone. The case now moves to a remedy phase where a judge will determine whether Live Nation should be forced to divest Ticketmaster.
