NASHVILLE – Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti, along with the US Department of Justice (DOJ), led a bipartisan coalition of 30 states and the District of Columbia today in filing an antitrust lawsuit against Live Nation Entertainment, Inc., which owns Ticketmaster, alleging that the company has illegally monopolized the live entertainment industry. Live Nation controls two of the most important parts of Tennessee’s live entertainment industry: ticketing and tours. They are the dominant ticketer and content provider to concert venues in Tennessee. Between 2019 and 2022, Tennesseans spent over $765 million on Ticketmaster tickets.
