Dave Sunday, Attorney General of Pennsylvania, continued litigation against Ticketmaster and is seeking to block a media merger involving Live Nation Entertainment. This action follows a settlement reached between the U.S. Justice Department and the companies, which had previously sued them over competition laws. Sunday chose not to settle and continued the case alongside about 30 other states.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The legal challenges relate to allegations that the companies violated competition laws in the live events market. A New York federal jury previously found that the largest U.S. concert ticket seller held an illegal monopoly over big concert venues. The ongoing litigation threatens the corporate structure and market dominance of Live Nation Entertainment.
