陪审团认定Live Nation与Ticketmaster在现场演出和票务行业占据垄断地位，证实了外界对这家行业巨头压制竞争、推高粉丝购票成本的指控。
这一裁决是纽约联邦法院一场历时漫长的审判后作出的，庭审期间有音乐和娱乐行业的高管出庭作证。陪审员于周五开始进行合议。
美国司法部以及包括加利福尼亚州、纽约州和华盛顿特区在内的39个州的总检察长，于2024年对Live Nation提起诉讼，指控该公司与Ticketmaster合并后，控制了“现场音乐生态系统的几乎所有环节”，损害了粉丝、艺人以及演出场馆的利益。

在庭审第二周，令法官都感到意外的是，美国司法部与Live Nation达成了一项秘密和解协议。少数几个州签署了该协议，但另有二十多个州坚持进入庭审程序。
根据司法部的和解协议，Live Nation将允许SeatGeek、StubHub等竞争对手为其活动提供票务服务，将票务服务费上限设定为15%，并剥离与13个露天剧场的独家演出预订协议。该协议还包含2.8亿美元的赔偿基金，用于向签署协议的少数几个州支付损害赔偿金。
司法部的和解协议尚需法官批准。

A jury found Live Nation and Ticketmaster operated as a monopoly in its dominance of the live events and ticketing industry, validating complaints that the industry giant was stifling competition and driving up fees for fans.
The verdict was reached following a lengthy trial in New York federal court that included testimony from top executives in the music and entertainment industries. Jurors began deliberating on Friday.
The Justice Department and 39 state attorneys general, including California and New York, and Washington, DC, sued Live Nation in 2024 alleging its combination with Ticketmaster and control of “virtually every aspect of the live music ecosystem” have harmed fans, artists, and venues.

During the second week of trial, in a move that surprised even the judge, the Justice Department reached a secret settlement with Live Nation. A handful of states signed onto the deal, but more than two dozen proceeded to trial.
Under the DOJ deal, Live Nation agreed to allow competitors, like SeatGeek or StubHub, to offer tickets to its events, cap ticketing service fees at 15%, and divest exclusive booking agreements with 13 amphitheaters. The deal includes a $280 million settlement fund for state damages claims for the handful of states that signed onto the deal.
The DOJ settlement requires the judge’s approval.
