DOJ Weighs In on Ticketmaster Monopoly Lawsuit

The Department of Justice is finally moving forward with its long-awaited case against Ticketmaster, the embattled live music and ticketing giant. Just days after the sudden departure of Antitrust Division chief Gail Slater, who was set to lead the DOJ’s argument in court, it emerged that Trump’s administration has been quietly reworking the division’s strategy. Sources close to the matter indicate that a new team is being assembled, composed of veteran antitrust lawyers and fresh talent alike, to build a robust case against Ticketmaster’s alleged monopolistic practices. With the stakes high and the clock ticking, the DOJ is poised to take on one of the most highly anticipated anti-monopoly cases in recent memory.
