Swifties’ Revenge: The Case for Breaking Up Live Nation/Ticketmaster · American Economic Liberties Project

In 2010, the merger of Live Nation and Ticketmaster combined the nation’s largest concert promoter, venue operator, and artist manager with the nation’s largest ticketing service. This merged firm has leveraged its control over the live event industry to block competitors, self-deal at the expense of artists, independent venues, and fans. Last year, the Break Up Ticketmaster coalition launched to call attention to these harms and to urge the Department of Justice to break up this live events behemoth. Ultimately, over 100,000 Americans sent letters to the DOJ urging them to save live events. Shortly after, the New York Times reported the DOJ has opened an antitrust investigation into the giant. Now, academics and advocates alike are analyzing Live Nation’s business model and exploring what type of case the DOJ could bring to restore competition to the live events industry. On **January 23rd at 1:00 PM ET**, join the **American Economic Liberties Project** to discuss, “The Case for Breaking Up Live Nation/Ticketmaster.” We will hear from members of the Break Up Ticketmaster coalition, as well as academics and policy experts regarding proposed structural and behavioral remedies the DOJ could pursue to address Live Nation/Ticketmaster’s monopoly power and restore fair competition to the live events industry. **Welcome:** Morgan Harper, Director of Policy & Advocacy, American Economic Liberties Project **Keynote Remarks:** Senator Amy Klobuchar, D-MN **Panel 1: How Live Nation Harms the Live Events Industry** John Breyault, Vice President, Public Policy, Telecommunications, and Fraud, National Consumers League Kevin Erickson, Executive Director, Future of Music Coalition Brian Hess, Executive Director, Sports Fans Coalition *Moderated by: Krista Brown, Senior Policy Analyst, American Economic Liberties Project* **Panel 2: The Case for Breaking Up Live Nation/Ticketmaster** Kathleen Bradish, Acting President at the American Antitrust Institute Michael Carrier, Board of Governors Professor, Rutgers Law School Katie Van Dyck, Senior Legal Counsel at American Economic Liberties Project *Moderated by: David Dayen, Executive Editor, The American Prospect*
