The lawsuit, expected to be filed soon, accuses Live Nation Entertainment, the parent company of #Ticketmaster, of using its dominant market position to suppress competition in the live events sector... #antitrust #antitrustlaw #competitionlaw #entertainment #tickets #liveevents

The hoopla surrounding Live Nation/Ticketmaster’s business practices has raised interest in monopolistic practices affecting ticket prices. Since the company acquired Ticketmaster in 2010, Live Nation has set about building a business that controls nearly every layer of the live event lifecycle, from artist management to venue operations and ticketing, attaching numerous additional costs, such as “service fees” and “convenience fees”, to its ticketing platform along the way. While concerts constitute the bulk of the company’s revenue, they are far from its most profitable segment. Last year, the company reported just a 2% adjusted operating profit margin in its concerts division, while ticketing made a whopping 38%, and ads and sponsorships managed 62%. The concert division often relies on other parts of the business to help fund it, a lifeline it would lose if the DOJ does manage to split the company up.

I was recently interviewed by CNA Lifestyle for my insights on the ticketing industry in Singapore! The article highlights the growing trend of professional "queue-ers" who offer to buy concert tickets on behalf of fans, explaining the convenience and risks associated with such services . I shared my thoughts on how TixBite comes in as an alternative ticketing platform that prioritizes transparency, security, and fairness, providing a safe space for fans to buy and sell tickets. Check out the article to learn about the ticketing landscape in Singapore and more about using these services! #ticketingindustry #concerttickets #SingaporeEvents #TixBite #SafeTicketing #EventTech [https://lnkd.in/gZUTNzat]
