UBS asks:
Will the US Department of Justice and/or the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) file either a civil complaint or a criminal charge against Live Nation Entertainment for antitrust violations before 1 July 2023?
Closed Jul 01, 2023 07:01AM UTC
Live Nation Entertainment, of which Ticketmaster is a part, is facing heavy scrutiny for its botched release of Taylor Swift concert tickets in late 2022 amid claims that it is a monopoly in violation of federal antitrust law (CNBC, CBS News, AP, Department of Justice - Antitrust Laws and You). Complaints or charges under seal would only count upon being unsealed, and complaints filed in court or as an administrative action would count.
