Ticketmaster's Grip on Live Nation: A Breakup Long Overdue? Thirty three U. S.
states have filed a formal motion in a New York court to break up the entertainment empire of Ticketmaster and Live Nation, citing an unlawful monopoly that controls artists' tours, venues, and online ticketing.
The motion comes after a landmark verdict in April, which found the company guilty of anti competitive practices, including overcharging fans through its dominant market position.
