Live Nation Legal Chief Denies Ticketmaster Colludes With Resellers at Tense Senate Hearing

Live Nation legal chief Dan Wall used congressional testimony to counter the Federal Trade Commission's claims that Ticketmaster is enabling ticket resellers to jack up prices, telling senators the company has "walked the walk" on anti-broker initiatives.

Wall was one of the witnesses at a Wednesday (Jan. 28) hearing held by the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation titled, "Fees Rolled on All Summer Long: Examining the Live Entertainment Industry." A riff on the Kid Rock song "All Summer Long," the hearing also featured testimony from Rock himself, as well as Ticket Policy Forum director Brian Berry and Colorado Independent Venue Association (CIVA) chair David Weingarden.
