A Live Nation chegou a um acordo com o Departamento de Justiça dos EUA em um longo processo antitruste, evitando a separação da Ticketmaster, mas concordando com mudanças operacionais, incluindo desinvestimentos em anfiteatros e abertura da venda de ingressos a concorrentes. O acordo, anunciado durante o julgamento em 9 de março de 2026, recebeu críticas de vários procuradores-gerais estaduais que planejam continuar com litígios separados.
Stephen Parker, head of the National Independent Venue Association, urged structural remedies including a full Live Nation-Ticketmaster breakup following the April jury verdict finding the companies liable for monopolization and unlawful tying. He argued past behavioral fixes failed and called for promotion caps, artist management divestitures, and a long-term firewall.
