Trump personally intervened in the DOJ’s case against LiveNation-Ticketmaster, reportedly telling top officials to “settle it.”
LiveNation donated $500K to Trump’s inauguration, then hired a law firm with close ties to Trump weeks before the scheduled trial.
The corruption is endless.

BREAKING: We just won our antitrust trial against LiveNation and Ticketmaster.
Live Nation has raked in billions in profits from an illegal monopoly that coerces venues, restricts artists, and exploits fans.
This is a massive win in the fight for fairness for local venues, artists, and fans.

Very disappointing, though ultimately unsurprising, to see the DOJ surrender in the middle of the Ticketmaster-LiveNation case after political pressure from the top. Hopefully the states will continue to push to break up a monopoly that should have never been allowed to exist in the first place.

Break up Ticketmaster/Livenation, too, plz! 🙏
Ever notice when you go to check out for tickets to a Vikings game or a Taylor Swift concert, the price you pay is so much higher than advertised?
Mysterious fees from online sellers continue to make tickets more expensive.
Starting January 1, we’re banning those junk fees.

I love Rush. Don't get me wrong. One of the best bands to ever create music in this era.
But $250 for the absolute WORST SEATS in an arena?
I'm talking last row nosebleeds in a stadium.
Without Neil Peart, no. F you, LiveNation/Ticketmaster.

The CEO of LiveNation/Ticketmaster says tickets are… too cheap.

Do you mean “can the arts business model survive monopolies?” Half of the story here is of concentration of power in a quasi-monopsony (eg Spotify) and a de facto monopoly (LiveNation). That’s what’s actually killing the arts.
Can the arts business model survive AI? Perhaps the best guide is to look at how the arts survived past tech revolutions
Take music—internet piracy and then streaming killed the lucrative CD market, but musicians mostly saved their jobs by focusing much more on live concerts

Trump's DOJ just gave a slap-on-the-wrist settlement to LiveNation/Ticketmaster.
The deal doesn't break up the ticket monopoly, and comes after its lobbyists boasted about getting the DOJ's antitrust chief fired last month.
Trump's promise to fix a rigged economic system was always baloney.

Yes, whenever I talk to musicians they *always* say the worst aspect is the music bit. If only that didn't get in the way of their interactions with Spotify, labels, promoters and the universally beloved LiveNation/Ticketmaster.
Beautiful stuff: "It’s not really enjoyable to make music now… it takes a lot of time, it takes a lot of practice, you have to get really good at an instrument... I think the majority of people don’t enjoy the majority of time they spend making music."
