articleThe Federal Trade Commission (FTC) on Thursday filed a lawsuit against Ticketmaster and its corporate parent, Live Nation, accusing the companies of deceiving performing artists and consumers about price and ticket limits. Seven states joined the FTC's lawsuit against Ticketmaster and Live Nation for allegedly engaging in tacit coordination with brokers whom they have allowed to harvest millions of dollars worth of tickets in the open market. Last year under the Biden administration , the FTC and Justice Department sued Ticketmaster alleging antitrust violations, accusing Live Nation of having a monopoly over live event tickets. The lawsuit could result in Live Nation being compelled to sell Ticketmaster. FOX Business reached out to Live Nation and Ticketmaster for comment.
