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.

Corporate monopolization is terrible for consumers, allowing corporate giants to drive up prices and rip off hardworking customers. For years, I've been fighting against Live Nation's monopoly. Happy to see this victory for music and sports fans nationwide.

I presume that Noah Kahan has lost his fucking mind? The first tour was like £35 in the same venue. Mind you at least we’re getting somewhere now with Ticketmaster and Live Nation being split up and forced to remove their monopoly of the industry.

Same. Wanted to buy spouse tix to concert but when I saw what nosebleed seats cost, I knew spouse would be furious at me spending the money. I'm starting to avoid artists that take part in the monopoly. Here's a guy doing his own thing for years and with loads of great music www.joshwoodward.com

A win is good, but what does this mean going forward? If they're running an illegal monopoly, then I would assume they would need to be broken up. Is that going to happen? Or does this not actually affect anything?

Correct. That's why even a band with as much clout as Pearl Jam couldn't make a go of bypassing Live Nation/Ticketmaster.

More than fair, especially since Ticketmaster is vowing to fight this ruling meaning I see them not just appealing the decision, but forcing out of the hands of the states & into a more friendly federal level. We shall see.
