Live Nation-Ticketmaster goes to trial: the antitrust case that could force the biggest entertainment breakup in decades - Silicon Canals

Today, the concert ticketing industry is broken. It is controlled by Live Nation and the company it owns, Ticketmaster. According to DOJ estimates cited in court, Live Nation-Ticketmaster holds an 86% market share in primary ticketing for major concert venues and a significant share in the use of large amphitheaters by artists. The government argues this dominance wasn't built on superior service. It was constructed through what prosecutors describe as a "flywheel" - a self-reinforcing system where control over venues, ticketing technology, and artist promotion creates an ecosystem that competitors cannot meaningfully penetrate.

A band called Ad Nauseam is dead set on keeping grunge alive in Portland, but no local venue will return their calls to play a show. Like the most iconic grunge acts, Ad Nauseam has deep PNW roots. They deliver sludgy, whining guitar licks and haunting, sandpapery vocals. They've even got an angsty tune called "Scab Pimple" for goodness sake. So why can't they land a gig? Well, it might be because all four band members are between the ages of 10 and 16.
