Long Overdue: The Ticketmaster/DOJ lawsuit, part 2
Following up on my original post on the upcoming DOJ vs. Ticketmaster lawsuit:
Here’s a well-researched video by More Perfect Union that does a nice job summarizing the issues, by talking with independent music venue owners who’ve also been affected by Ticketmaster’s alleged predatory behavior in the marketplace:
The issue of corporate consolidation in the live concert space affects the entire music industry at all levels, not just artists but venue owners, engineers, independent promoters and labels, and music fans too.
It has a direct impact on the prices you pay to attend concerts, and the ability for artists and the businesses that support them to continue to make our musical culture an interesting, diverse, and exciting place to be.
It’s important to communicate to your representatives that it’s time to take antitrust in America seriously.
