Department of Justice investigating Live Nation and Ticketmaster

Taylor Swift fans have beef with Ticketmaster-owner Live Nation, and now the US government does, too: The Justice Department is reportedly getting ready to slap America's largest concert promoter with an antitrust suit.

Lawmakers and regulators have accused Live Nation of outrageously high ticket prices, iffy customer service, and anticompetitive practices.

The DOJ's investigation into the concert colossus heated up in November 2022, when Ticketmaster crashed after T. Swift fans tried to snap up "Eras" tour tickets.
