NASHVILLE – Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti announced today that ten more states have joined the United States Department of Justice and others in a historic lawsuit against Ticketmaster-Live Nation. The Attorneys General of Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Mexico, South Dakota, Utah, and Vermont are now part of the lawsuit, bringing the total number of plaintiffs to 41.
“The ticketing industry has been broken for decades by Ticketmaster’s exploitive monopoly, harming both consumers and the talented people across Tennessee who work hard to provide live music experiences,” said Tennessee Attorney General Skrmetti. “We welcome these ten additional AGs and look forward to making our case. I am grateful for our ongoing partnership with the U.S. Department of Justice’s Antitrust Division in this great bipartisan effort, coming on the heels of our historic win against Google’s search monopoly.”
