FTC sues Live Nation, Ticketmaster Over Deceptive TicketingThe Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and seven state attorneys general, have filed a landmark lawsuit against Live Nation Entertainment and its subsidiary Ticketmaster, alleging widespread misconduct in the live events ticketing industry. The FTC alleges that, despite its public claims, Ticketmaster privately admitted it profits when brokers prevent everyday fans from getting tickets at artist-set prices. The case will now be decided in court, where Live Nation and Ticketmaster will have the opportunity to respond to the allegations. With consumers spending more than $82.6 billion on Ticketmaster tickets between 2019 and 2024, the outcome could reshape how Americans access their favorite concerts, sports, and live shows.
