The DOJ's antitrust lawsuit against Ticketmaster claims its non-transferrable tickets hinder competition by making it difficult for fans to use rival platforms like StubHub.
The complaint describes Ticketmaster's SafeTix, marketed against fraud, as primarily aimed at reducing competition, highlighting their strategic focus rather than consumer protection.
Internal documents reveal Ticketmaster’s aim for market share with non-transferrable tickets, indicating that reducing competition was a key motive behind its ticketing systems.
With Ticketmaster handling 80% of arenas for NBA and NHL and 70% of amphitheater shows, it underscores the company’s overarching dominance in ticket sales.
