Well, this is wonderful finally, some anti-trust action meanwhile 100 corporations on everything. Where have you been all these years?

[@reallysomebody]

Thank you, Mr. Garland!! ❤

[@davidtracey1583]

The breakup of crime syndicate Ticketmaster/Live Nation can't come soon enough. $500 dollars to see ELO... way up in the rafters? Keep your tickets.

[@davidmazylewski368]

Concert tickets? How about the AT&T monopoly??

[@user-yx3eu8qn5g]

Call att a representative will answer the phone in hatti

[@Max1dollar]

Interesting, so who will be replacing the monopoly now

[@truecountrymusicfan]

It will be atleast 5 or 10 years before this comes close to being resolved and my days of buying tickets for live concerts and sporting events is probably coming to an end within the next 18 to 24 months.

[@tjwbanter]

Same goes for, Amazon! Google, etc...

[@lucasvolini]

Wayfair. Bing.

[@ajspice]

I like how every company you mentioned has a viable competitor. Amazon competes with multiple online retailers and sellers, Google competes with Apple. Wanna see a concert? You have ONE option. There is a difference between what is popular with the public and what is just straight-up monopolized.

[@ajspice]

​@lucasvolini Bing is owned by Microsoft which competes against Apple and Google in multiple spaces. Try to buy a concert ticket NOT through Ticketmaster. Good luck.

[@stanfordite1]

Oh don't worry, they'll be broken up and kicked back to square one in Google's case or shut down in Amazon's case. To quote Darth Sideous: "Wipe them out. All of them."

TJ way to just scratch the surface of US Corporate Corruption!🤣👍

CBS News, Your videos always brighten my day, so I subscribed!

[@walterzuniga6390]

About time !!!

[@tiffparz8749]

Finally, news about something that actually MATTERS !!! Stick it to the man !! 🤘✌️👏

[@foxooo]

Yes Joe Biden !!!

[@TheMikemontreal]

Bravo hopes Canada will do the same and also investigate who are the politicians who got free tickets to close their eyes on this scam

[@tiffparz8749]

This bill saves lives !!

[@b.french2621]

Man I really appreciate yall doing something about these tickets prices.

[@Flassh81]

Is he reading Eddie Vedder's speech to Congress decades ago?

[@Shooterindatooter]

Livenation really took advantage of the pandemic and went to over 180 venues in the US that we’re struggling financially and said “we will keep you alive during this difficult time and we will be 51% owners of your venue from here on out”.

[@tiffparz8749]

Talkin’ ‘bout MY generation !!

[@IOSALive]

CBS News, This made me so happy! I liked and subscribed!

Ticketmaster's badly built website (or was it?) cost me extra in 2018 which they wouldn't refund. Never used them since, never again. This is Karma.

Three chords and the truth. My new band name

[@simseremyoo]

Just keep the government out of it, its higher prices because of the artist and scalpers if the public is willing to pay $1000 a seat then the scalpers are going to keep charging that.

[@jeremytine]

no, the IS what government is supposed to do. And no, artists hate ticketmaster as well.

[@simseremyoo]

@@jeremytine So how are they going to stop the scalpers from charging all this money, you do know most the tickets on Ticketmaster are not from Ticketmaster anyone can sell on their site.

[@WalkiTalki]

Felon Merrick stated, on record to Congress, that he has never provided ID to vote and doesn't know anyone that has. Why is this so much more a concern for him than the security of American elections?

[@lucasvolini]

Because election security is a fabricated issue that the GOP uses to fear-monger their base and sow mistrust in American democracy.

[@jeremytine]

because elections are already secure. and this affects everyone. It's also a false dilemma. DOJ has more than one lawyer and can do multiple things at the same time. Having the government solely focus one a single issue to the exclusive of all else, especially if that one issue is overly political, just means nothing gets done and you have a broken system.

[@biggestballersportscards]

What about taking action over the cartels monopoly on the border?

[@lucasvolini]

GOP refuses to pass any legislation addressing the border crisis because Trump made it clear that fixing the border crisis will interfere with his campaign messaging. He needs the crisis to remain a crisis and the GOP is on board.

[@ajspice]

Ya'll are obsessed. Do you know how many conservetive businesses would fail with illegal immigration. Who's gonna work in fields for a few bucks an hour? You? Your kids?

[@carterhawthy]

Are there not more important things that require our country's time and resources? Seems like we are deflecting media coverage onto less prevalent topics here...

[@carterhawthy]

Especially when you take into account that it's an election year... More than half of the media's questions weren't even about this case!

[@lucasvolini]

The DOJ does more than one thing at a time.

[@ajspice]

One could say the same about multiple Mar a Lago golf trips during a global pandemic.

[@bcccccccc]

it’s almost like multiple issues exist 🤯🤯🤯🤯

[@jeremytine]

this is a false dilemma

[@louishendricks-tv1sx]

Live Nation! How do you prove your corrupt Mafia style crooks by a better business model then LN!

[@user-yx3eu8qn5g]

A company ran by criminals period.
