The concert venue and music festival owner could be forced to divest parts of its business or even split from Ticketmaster, an outcome former Attorney General Merrick Garland called for when he filed the lawsuit in May 2024.
The US Department of Justice’s legal action said the firm’s practices had kept out competitors, and led to higher ticket prices and worse service for customers.
