A federal jury on Wednesday decided Ticketmaster and its parent company Live Nation have been operating as an illegal monopoly. The juryโs verdict sides with claims from over 30 states in one of the biggest anti-trust cases in recent history. The entertainment giant is accused of stifling competition by controlling every aspect of the live music industry from concert bookings and ticketing to venues and promotions.
