Case overview
What this settlement is about
This is a live, unresolved lawsuit — not a settlement — brought under the Sherman Act. Ticketmaster customers allege that Live Nation and Ticketmaster locked venues into exclusive contracts and imposed restrictive ticketing rules that squeezed out competitors, steered buyers toward Ticketmaster's own resale marketplace, and drove up fees on concert tickets across the country. A judge has granted class certification, letting the case move forward on behalf of affected buyers nationwide, but no settlement has been reached or approved, so there's currently no payout to claim.
