Posts discuss Live Nation/Ticketmaster antitrust actions: a preliminary DOJ agreement where Live Nation paid $280m and agreed to allow venues multiple vendors; mentions of the DOJ seeking to break up the firm and language like “suffocates” competition. Other posts express pro‑/anti‑Ticketmaster sentiment, e.g. “this administration is pro‑Ticketmaster” and “They’re a monopoly and they fuck over the customers and the talent. Basically, I’m boycotting them.”
