After the Verdict: Navigating the Live Nation/Ticketmaster Antitrust Fallout

On April 15, 2026, a federal jury found Live Nation and its subsidiary Ticketmaster liable on every antitrust count submitted, including monopolization of primary ticketing markets and illegal bundling of its promotions and venue business lines. The jury found the defendants liable for $1.72 for each primary concert ticket sold pursuant to the anticompetitive conduct.[1] The trial opened March 2, 2026, before Judge Arun Subramanian in the Southern District of New York, as a case brought by the federal government and a coalition of states. The case, however, was rocked by an early-trial settlement between the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the defendants. Although the DOJ and six of the plaintiff states (Arkansas, Iowa, Mississippi, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Dakota) exited the trial, 33 states and the District of Columbia rejected the settlement, brought in a law firm, and moved forward with the trial. Next up for the case: (1) a statutorily required Tunney Act review of the DOJ’s settlement; (2) defendants’ Rule 50 and Rule 59 motions; (3) determination by the Court of how many tickets are subject to the $1.72 damage award (before trebling as per the Clayton Act); and (4) a remedy phase where the Court will consider plaintiffs’ likely proposal to sever Ticketmaster from Live Nation....
