Live Nation Faces Antitrust Trial Over Ticketing
|
6.2
The New York Times reports on March 3, 2026, that Live Nation is on trial over alleged anticompetitive ticketing practices, with expert witness Steven Hatch testifying that fans paid $1.56 to $1.72 more per ticket due to an 'overcharge'. The piece notes Ticketmaster's roughly 37% ticketing margin versus Live Nation promotion's about 3.3%, and argues a verdict or separation may not meaningfully lower consumer prices because of supply-demand dynamics and venue contracts.
