Justice Department sues Ticketmaster and owner Live Nation, alleging illegal monopoly
Thanks, Taylor!



Quote:
“We allege that Live Nation relies on unlawful, anticompetitive conduct to exercise its monopolistic control over the live events industry in the United States at the cost of fans, artists, smaller promoters, and venue operators,” Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a statement. “The result is that fans pay more in fees, artists have fewer opportunities to play concerts, smaller promoters get squeezed out, and venues have fewer real choices for ticketing services. It is time to break up Live Nation-Ticketmaster.”

Companies like Stubhub and Seatgeek are secondary sales so you have the additional markup after they have purchased tickets from Ticketmaster.

Sort of, they haven't started jacking up costs by much (yet) just for that one football game or whatever... and TicketMaster double dips with reselling tickets and you have all the issues with scalpers and what not.

And the networks are at least competing for those events, while the issue here is the steps TicketMaster has taken to monopolize arenas and force shows to only deal with them.

What about them? Products and services can be advertised almost anywhere. TV, radio, billboards, the sides of buses, you name it.

Thinking about this more, I'd say it's closer to Sunday NFL Ticket.

DirecTV back in the day could jack up the price because it was exclusive and they could even jack up their normal monthly fees because **** you.

Where as if Prime suddenly wanted to charge $100 for a single playoff game, it would be so far out of whack, the NFL would probably have major concerns about ratings and would go with the cheaper option for fans (for their own ratings of course, not because they give a shit about fans). At least that competition exists for some consumer benefit in the end.

TicketMaster IS a scam, but do we really wanna involve the govt. in this? Let's think about that for a second.

TicketMaster has the right to charge whatever ridiculous fees they want to and you as the consumer have the right to tell them to '**** off' and not purchase from them.

Meh, this is actually something the government should be doing, breaking up abusive monopolies that actually harm consumers and businesses.

They have the right but they also produce the shows.

So they have the contact with the artist and then they say you can only buy from us and then they say it costs extra money for that right.
