Today, the concert ticketing industry is broken. It is controlled by Live Nation and the company it owns, Ticketmaster. According to DOJ estimates cited in court, Live Nation-Ticketmaster holds an 86% market share in primary ticketing for major concert venues and a significant share in the use of large amphitheaters by artists.
