Attorney General Jackley Announces South Dakota To Receive $677,920 In Live Nation and Ticketmaster Antitrust Settlement
PIERRE, S.D. – South Dakota Attorney General Marty Jackley announces the state will receive $677,920 as part of the state’s settlement in the Live Nation and Ticketmaster anti-trust suit, and better entertainment ticket pricing with competition.
“Live Nation created an illegal monopoly that raised costs for entertainment in South Dakota shows. This settlement will improve entertainment pricing with competition,” said Attorney General Jackley. “I appreciate the U.S. Department of Justice and Attorney General Bondi for their leadership in this lawsuit.”
South Dakota was one of almost 40 states, plus Washington, D.C., that filed suit against Live Nation and Ticketmaster, which merged in 2010. The settlement requires Live Nation to let rival companies list show tickets on their platforms and caps exclusivity contracts with venues at four years.
Attorney General Jackley said South Dakota is one of several states to have formally settled its portion of the lawsuit.

So they pay a fine and continue to operate? How has this lawsuit actually fixed the monopoly?
It has not. Thanks for asking.
Trumps doj dropped the main investigation. TACO
That half-mil donation to the inauguration was money well spent.
They were overcharged us but the state gets the money? How is that fair? They’ll just spend it on king crab, lobster & steaks.
Honestly, that’s along the lines of my thoughts.. I’d take a monetary settlement on some of the tickets I bought,
Hopefully we can put this money into a fund to support our elite public service members. I know it isn’t enough for an executive jet, but maybe it can be a down payment for one.
Marty, where is the justice for Kendra Owens murder?
