CNBC just had a young idiot DEI hire on to talk about the lawsuit and she couldn't answer any questions about quantifying the damage.
All she did was say "This is the beginning, not the end. There will be discovery." So once again, a charge seeking a crime.

I'll also make a prediction:
IF they succeed in breaking up Live Nation and TicketMaster, within 5-10 years the combined market share and control of the market from the two entities will be much greater than today.

Door Dash and Uber fees as a percentage are much higher.

It's not a monopoly in legal terms. It's like people arguing that Walmart is a monopoly. You have other choices in the marketplace. Artists have other venues they can choose in a market. You don't have to play Sprint Center - you can play Arrowhead, Kauffman, Sandstone, or even Joe's neighborhood bar. The fees are bullshit and almost racketeering but legally it's okay. I just don't see much of a case legally. Shitty business practices but not much from a legal standpoint.

https://www.justice.gov/atr/speech/t...ee-perspective ..seems like they were basically calling out the fact they were playing with fire by allowing the merger in the first place, with some guidelines on how to play nice, and they think it's been ignored.

You have to enter long term contracts with Live Nation or you don't have an appropriate size venue to play at. Even the 10 other sites have to play by TM's rules or they might get black listed and not be able to book artists.
