What happened
Plaintiffs allege that Ticketmaster and Live Nation engaged in anticompetitive conduct by using exclusive dealing, coercive tying arrangements, and economic threats to maintain monopoly power in primary ticketing services and concert promotion for major concert venues. As a result, class members claim they were overcharged on ticketing fees.
Do you qualify?
You are in the class if you are a U.S. individual who purchased a primary ticket directly from Ticketmaster or a Live Nation-affiliated entity for a concert event at a major concert venue since 2010 and paid associated primary ticketing service fees.
