Deep dives
Live Nation's abusive monopoly practices in the concert industry
The Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing on Live Nation's monopolistic practices in the concert industry. Witnesses highlighted how Live Nation controls the majority of concert venues and ticketing services, creating an unfair and anti-competitive market. The committee members quoted Taylor Swift lyrics to emphasize the need for competition and the dangers of consolidation. Live Nation's President was questioned about their market dominance, with one senator pointing out that Live Nation has 87% of ticketing contracts at NBA and NHL arenas, and 93% at NFL stadiums. The hearing shed light on the need for regulation and dismantling monopolies in the concert industry.
