Live Nation’s antitrust lawsuit is getting even more shaky after the antitrust head, Gail Slayter, was fired this week. Oh and the trial is in 3 weeks.
Live Nation has been sending lobbyist to DoJ officials like Slayter’s boss Pam Bondi, remember her from the Epstein stuff? This strategy worked last year when HP wanted to merge with its competitor. They got Slayter’s assistants fired.
The National Independent Venue association says
“The company must be split up. There is no settlement that will lead to justice for America’s independent venues, artists, and fans. There is no pathway to restore competition in ticketing and live performance across America without Live Nation’s breakup.”
Ticketmaster is alleged to manipulate the inventory, demand and price of tickets. Often leading to double the price that artists and venues set.
New laws in California and New York are even being proposed to put a Cap resale tickets. Austin, the live music capital of the world is even struggling and being held up by nonprofits and our tax dollars.
Live Nation/Ticketmaster has created an industry that requires our cities subsidize billionaire greed. Even if you don’t go to Live Nation shows, you’re still paying their costs.
