TicketNetwork Targets Resale Conditions in DOJ’s Live Nation-Ticketmaster Settlement
Home » TicketNetwork Targets Resale Conditions in DOJ’s Live Nation-Ticketmaster Settlement
TicketNetwork is urging a federal court to strengthen the Justice Department’s proposed Live Nation-Ticketmaster antitrust settlement, targeting provisions that could make a rival’s access to new primary-ticketing opportunities depend partly on how it operates its separate resale business.
In Tunney Act comments submitted Sept. 4, TicketNetwork argues that the settlement takes an important step by recognizing that Ticketmaster’s consumer-facing marketplace can be separated from the back-end technology that creates, manages and validates tickets. But the company says the proposed rules could still leave Ticketmaster controlling which competitors can use that infrastructure and under what conditions.

The public comment period for the settlement between Live Nation and the Department of Justice closed Sept. 4 and there was a last-minute flurry of objections to the deal from Live Nation and Ticketmaster competitors and long-time opponents.
The public comment period is required by the Tunney Act, the Nixon-era legislation designed to give judicial oversight to antitrust settlements and prevent corruption. Under that law, U.S. District Judge Arun Subrmanian must approve the agreement. He has said he’s likely to make his decision on the settlement between mid-September and mid-October.
