Klobuchar Statement on Live Nation-Ticketmaster Verdict
WASHINGTON - U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) released the statement below after a federal jury found that Live Nation-Ticketmaster is a monopoly that illegally abused its power to squeeze consumers and shut out competition.
"Today's verdict confirms what fans, artists, and venues have known for years: Live Nation-Ticketmaster is a monopoly that illegally abused its power to squeeze consumers and shut out competition.
You shouldn't have to pay a small fortune to see your favorite artist in concert. Fans have long deserved better.
This decision is a major step toward restoring competition and accountability in live events.
Now the Court must ensure any remedy truly opens the market, and that means lowering prices, increasing innovation, and protecting fans, artists, and venues, not delivering another deal that falls short."
