Pascrell Shares “Explosive” Ticketmaster Report Alleging Abuses
Longtime Ticketmaster/Live Nation critic Rep. Bill Pascrell (D-NJ) has shared an “explosive” previously suppressed study of the entertainment giant’s business practices, originally filed as part of a lawsuit against Live Nation in 2019. The report, Pascrell says, details “rampant corrupt and abusive practices by the Live Nation-Ticketmaster monopoly.”
The report lays out in detail allegations of anti-competitive business practices used by the entertainment giant for more than a decade, according to Rep. Pascrell’s office. It has been shared with the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, which has been investigating Live Nation Entertainment’s business practices and recently filed a subpoena demanding documents from the company. It was also shared with the Federal Trade Commission, Justice Department Antitrust Division, and the House Energy and Commerce Committee.
An email requesting any comment on the letter sent to the subcommittee or the allegations it contains sent to Ticketmaster and Live Nation have not received any response as of Thursday morning.
