DOJ’s “Bad Blood” with Live Nation-Ticketmaster
Show notes
How did a chaotic Taylor Swift ticket sale lead to DOJ filing a suit against the largest entertainment company in the world? In yet another example of how administrative law touches our everyday lives, we examine the DOJ’s pursuit to exercise its enforcement powers by pursuing antitrust claims against Live Nation and its subsidiary, Ticketmaster. Attorney Reb Masel from Rebuttal Podcast, joins us to discuss the legal framework that grants DOJ enforcement power and the extent to which DOJ—and other agencies—can wield it. Special thanks to ALR Staffers Linda Cullen, Peyton Kreuscher, and Maddie Haggard for their assistance with research and preparation for this episode.
