Abstract generation in progress

The antitrust trial against Live Nation and Ticketmaster resumed with 36 states continuing to pursue claims of illegal monopoly, despite the Justice Department settling its case. States argue the DOJ settlement falls short of protecting consumers, artists, and venues, and that Live Nation and Ticketmaster exert undue control over the live events industry. Live Nation maintains it operates in a competitive, artist-first environment and does not coerce venues into exclusive ticketing agreements.
