Live Nation says 'game is not over' after jury finds company liable for ticketing monopoly

A federal jury in New York delivered a major blow to Live Nation Entertainment on Wednesday, finding the concert giant and its Ticketmaster subsidiary liable for monopolistic practices in the ticketing industry.

The verdict stems from a sweeping multistate lawsuit that accused the company of using its dominance in concert promotion and ticketing to stifle competition, inflate prices and limit consumer choice, according to the complaint.
