DOJ to File Antitrust Lawsuit Against Live Nation-Ticketmaster The Department of Justice is reportedly preparing to file an antitrust lawsuit against Live Nation, the parent company of Ticketmaster, this Thursday, according to Bloomberg. The investigation, which has been ongoing, scrutinizes whether the 2010 merger between Live Nation and Ticketmaster has stifled competition, especially after the chaotic presale of Taylor Swift’s "Eras Tour" in 2022. The DOJ is expected to seek significant remedies, potentially including the breakup of the concert promotion and ticketing behemoth.
