Live Nation, Antitrust

In February of 2006 we brought a class action against Clear Channel Communications Inc. (now known as Live Nation) for its unlawful anticompetitive and monopolistic practices, which illegally inflate the cost of tickets that customers purchase for live rock concerts. The complaint alleges that Clear Channel leveraged its radio business to obligate artists to use Clear Channel to promote its live concerts, which in turn has stifled competition in the live concert promotion industry and enabled Clear Channel to charge supra-competitive prices for rock concert tickets. On October 22, 2007, Judge Wilson from the Central District of California certified our proposed class in this action for five “template” regions: Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, New York and Denver. If you purchased a concert ticket from June 19, 1998 through the present in one of these regions you may be eligible to join this suit. Report Your Case.
