Attorney General Raúl Torrez and fellow Attorneys General of Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Mississippi, Nebraska, Louisiana, South Dakota, Utah and Vermont joined a civil antitrust lawsuit filed by the Justice Department, 29 other states and the District of Columbia against Live Nation-Ticketmaster for monopolization and other unlawful conduct in violation of Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act.
The department and its now-expanded group of 40 co-plaintiffs filed an amended complaint in the Southern District of New York. The amended complaint also alleges additional details about Live Nation-Ticketmaster’s anticompetitive course of conduct in markets across the live entertainment industry.
“Joining this litigation reaffirms our commitment to protecting consumers and ensuring a level playing field in the marketplace,” said AG Torrez. “The monopolistic practices of Live Nation-Ticketmaster have harmed not only the live entertainment industry but also the countless fans who deserve fair access to events. By holding this company accountable, we are standing up for the rights of New Mexicans and millions of Americans who have been unfairly impacted by these anticompetitive actions.”
