Over 30 States Request Judge to Separate Live Nation from Ticketmaster

21 Mayıs 2026The Verge

A federal judge is set to decide on the potential breakup of Live Nation-Ticketmaster, as over 30 states have requested intervention. They are urging Judge Arun Subramanian to mandate the sale of the ticketing company and a significant number of large amphitheaters.
Additionally, they seek to restrict the company's practice of linking access to venues with its promotional services.
The call for breaking up Live Nation-Ticketmaster comes amid ongoing scrutiny of the company's market dominance and its impact on consumers and artists alike. The ticketing giant has faced criticism for high fees and limited options for event access, prompting state attorneys general to take action.
The move to break up Live Nation-Ticketmaster reflects growing concerns over monopolistic practices in the ticketing industry. By limiting the company's control over venues and ticket sales, states aim to foster a more competitive environment that could benefit consumers.
