A New York jury found on April 15 that Live Nation and Ticketmaster held a monopoly over concert venues and ticket sales.

The verdict came after four days of deliberation, and followed a years-long trial that began in May 2024 under the Biden administration. The judge has asked both sides to submit a proposed schedule by the end of next week for the court to deal with the remedies phase of the case.
