United States v. Live Nation Entertainment

Common card · No. 409908

United States, et al. v. Live Nation Entertainment, Inc. and Ticketmaster Entertainment, LLC is an antitrust lawsuit brought by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), forty U.S. states, and Washington, D.C., against entertainment company Live Nation Entertainment and its subsidiary Ticketmaster, following the Taylor Swift–Ticketmaster controversy in 2022. Filed on May 23, 2024, the lawsuit alleges that Live Nation has a monopoly on the live event sector. The case was filed before the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. If successful, Live Nation Entertainment may be forced to sell Ticketmaster. The Live Nation trial began on March 2, 2026. A settlement had been reached a week later. However, this did not prevent the 2024 lawsuit from continuing trial proceedings. In April 2026, a federal jury in New York found that Live Nation Entertainment held a monopoly and violated federal and state anti-trust laws.
