If this turns out to be true, I might start going to live events again.
This turned my frown upside down. They had it coming for a long time.
First step… there has been many first steps, but none towards a breakup thus far.
Burn the Ticket Bastard down!
Just wait until they give a healthy donation to Trump and this all comes to an end
Damn, this is the best news I’ve heard in ages.
So… Trump is going to be the next Grammy winner?
I’ve never used Ticketmaster, but from what I can tell, it absolutely seems like a violation of anti-trust rules.
I can’t wait for the judge to get hit with a $45 ‚Verdict Convenience Fee‘, a $30 ‚Gavel Processing Fee‘, and an $80 ‚Digital Print-at-Home Ruling Surcharge‘
I’m sure Trump will do something to fuck this all up for the consumer
Anything that happens a legally will be less than the profits they made over the years, so it’s just the cost of doing business for them. Our Govt has zero meaningful teeth when it comes to corporate policing
This has been an issue for like 2 decades…it took them this long?
The Ticketmaster CEO is about to show up at the White House with a gold bar bribe for the orange man’s personal gold bar bribe collection.
The ruling will be nullified in a week’s time.
Not with this administration holding down the scales of justice
lol
It only took 30 year Pearl Jam!
Do we know how they are going to do the bribe to get out of this yet?
About fucking time.
Don’t worry TicketMaster Fans ^((TM)) they’ll make a large donation to DTs ballroom project and the DOJ will quietly drop all farther inquiries about their shady practices.
I have never understood why venues can’t handle their own ticket sales? It would solve a lot of these middleman issues.
In before Ticketmaster lobbies whoever they need to and any court challenges go away for the next decade.
How much cheaper should a TSwift ticket be after this?
Thirity years too late….
Good! It’s one of the best examples of an industry where competition is badly needed to spur pricing reform.
Break em up!!!
Fuck ticketmaster so much
Lets hope this results in a drop in prices eventually, I dont even bother looking at live shows now
Thank God fuck ticketmaster.
I will believe it when I see it actually happen and not get reversed somehow
Biden and Harris were working hard on this. Both, wanted all junk fees eliminated. As well as lowering all prescriptions drugs. Sadly, that isn’t what Americans wanted.
Thank fucking god. There should be a rule for industries like this that if you don’t have 10+ companies in the market, it needs to be broken up until there’s at least that much competition.
The whole reason late stage capitalism fails is because monopolies or oligopolies eliminate the things that supposedly make capitalism work: competition.
