The Justice Department filed an antitrust lawsuit against Ticketmaster and Live Nation Entertainment, accusing them of monopolizing the live events industry. A timeline of clashes includes Pearl Jam's complaint in 1994, StubHub's lawsuit in 2015, Taylor Swift's frustration with ticket sales in 2022, Bruce Springsteen's fans upset with ticket pricing the same year, and the U.S. Senate debating Ticketmaster's dominance in 2023. Minnesota signed a "Taylor Swift bill" in 2024 to enhance transparency and protections for ticket buyers, showing ongoing conflicts between Ticketmaster, artists, fans, and lawmakers.
