The Department of Justice (DOJ) on Thursday sued Live Nation Entertainment and asked a court to break up the company over claims it has maintained an illegal monopoly over the live entertainment industry.
A new bill introduced by an influential California lawmaker takes aim at Ticketmaster, whose stranglehold on the entertainment industry has long vexed concertgoers with its fees and out-of-control pricing.
Ticketmaster announced the release of all-in pricing in September, a feature that is supposed to display the complete price for a live event ticket on the platform, including all of the fees associated with it before a user checks out.
