The U.S. Department of Justice and 40 states have asked a federal court to reject Live Nation’s argument that antitrust claims require proof of charging different prices to different venues, citing a misinterpretation of a previous Meta ruling. The enforcers contend that other evidence can establish “major concert venues” as a distinct market from stadiums or large theaters. The ongoing antitrust case accuses Live Nation of monopolistic practices through its control over the live music supply chain, and a jury trial is scheduled for March 2.
