ST. PAUL, Minn. (KFGO) – Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison says his office will continue pursuing its antitrust lawsuit against Live Nation, despite a federal settlement that would end the U.S. Department of Justice case against the company.
Ellison says Live Nation, a concert promoter and Ticketmaster’s parent company, has worked to drive their competition out of the market, resulting in higher ticket prices and fewer options for venues and artists. He criticized the federal settlement saying it does little to change things.
Minnesota is joining more than 30 other states in moving forward with the lawsuit.
