What the Live Nation settlement would mean for concertgoers — and why some say it isn’t enough
NEW YORK (AP) — Live Nation and the U.S. government announced a deal this week that they say would give artists and venues more choice when it comes to selling concert tickets to music fans. But critics say meaningful changes are far from guaranteed. It’s no secret that buying concert tickets can be a frustrating and costly process. And Live Nation, the parent company of Ticketmaster since 2010, has been the target for much of the backlash from concertgoers, artists and regulators. On Monday, days into a trial, the Justice Department said it reached a tentative agreement to settle charges that Live Nation runs a monopoly squelching competition and driving up prices for live music. The DOJ hailed new options for promoters and venues that it said would end this illegal control. While continuing to maintain the allegations were without merit, Live Nation said the deal would give artists more flexibility for ticketing while also keeping costs affordable for fans.
