Well, kind of extraordinary to have a consent decree running for such a long period of time and have you not even fight it in court.

You are forcing everybody who just wants to get this ticket on the resale market who has not bought from you, Mr. Berchtold, to begin with.

This is how monopolies work.

This is because the Justice Department says that your company repeatedly conditioned and threatened to condition Live Nation's provision of live concerts on a venue's purchase of Ticketmaster's ticketing services.
