Tennessee’s attorney general said he’d look into if Ticketmaster violated consumers’ rights and antitrust regulations, after glitches during the sale of tickets for Taylor Swift’s “Eras” tour left some fans stranded in hours-long virtual queues.
by some artists and activists who said it would give Ticketmaster the ability to endlessly increase fees. But the Justice Department argued that the terms of the merger would “protect competition for primary ticketing, which will in turn maintain incentives for innovation and discounting.”More than a decade later, some antitrust and consumer groups say the merger has created a harmful monopoly.
Skrmetti on Wednesday said the Justice Department’s agreement with Ticketmaster and Live Nation “was theoretically going to reduce the antitrust risks.” But, he continued, “if we’re seeing a situation where people are trying to use the service and aren’t getting the product that they’ve paid for, the product that they were promised, that could be an indicator that there’s not enough competition in the market.”
