2月8日（路透社）——据新闻媒体Semafor周日报道，美国演唱会推广巨头Live Nation Entertainment（股票代码：LYV.N）的高管和游说人员正与美国司法部高级官员进行谈判，以避免因涉嫌非法垄断演唱会市场而进行的审判。
报道援引知情人士的话说，这些讨论在司法部反垄断部门之外进行，且涉及高级官员。

路透社无法立即核实该报道内容。Live Nation和美国司法部尚未立即回应路透社的置评请求。
美国司法部与30个州及哥伦比亚特区联合于2024年提起诉讼，要求拆分Live Nation。诉讼指控该公司非法维持其在现场娱乐行业的主导地位。
根据诉讼文件，Live Nation及其票务子公司Ticketmaster非法抬高演唱会票价，并采取损害艺人与消费者利益的商业行为。
多年来，演唱会观众和政客一直敦促监管机构重新审查Live Nation在2010年收购Ticketmaster的交易。2022年Ticketmaster在泰勒·斯威夫特”时代”巡回演唱会票务销售中出现严重故障后，要求加强监管的呼声进一步高涨。
票务系统故障导致粉丝长时间陷入线上排队，且票价被指过高，引发了对该公司市场支配力及其对消费者影响的广泛批评。

Feb 8 (Reuters) – Live Nation (LYV.N) executives and lobbyists are in talks with senior officials at the U.S. Department of Justice in a bid to avoid a trial over allegations that the concert promoter operates an illegal monopoly, news outlet Semafor reported on Sunday.
These discussions are taking place outside the DOJ’s antitrust division and involve senior officials, the report said, citing people familiar with the matter.

Reuters could not immediately verify the report. Live Nation and the DOJ did not immediately respond to Reuters’ requests for a comment.
DOJ, along with a group of 30 states and the District of Columbia, filed a lawsuit in 2024 seeking to break up Live Nation. The lawsuit alleges that the company has unlawfully maintained its dominance in the live entertainment industry.
According to the complaint, Live Nation and its Ticketmaster unit illegally inflated concert ticket prices and engaged in practices that harmed both artists and consumers.
Concert fans and politicians have for years urged regulators to re-examine Live Nation’s 2010 acquisition of Ticketmaster. Calls for renewed scrutiny intensified after the ticket seller botched sales for Taylor Swift’s “Eras” tour in 2022.

The botched rollout left fans stuck in hours-long online queues, facing prices many said were excessive, and sparked wide-spread complaints about poor customer service. The episode reignited criticism of the company’s market power and its impact on consumers.
