A jury declared Live Nation a monopoly. But ticket prices won’t drop just yet

A federal jury found that Live Nation and Ticketmaster, which merged in 2010, have been stifling competition and overcharging consumers when it comes to live events.

D.C. and 33 states now have to argue in favor of specific remedies and fines, which could be paused if Live Nation appeals. Experts say the long-term impact on ticket prices isn’t clear either.
