In this episode, Matt Stoller and David David are live from a conference room in Chicago to break down the Live Nation Ticketmaster verdict! Live Nation was found to be an illegal monopoly in a dramatic jury trial that saw the Trump administration drop out of the case with a surprise settlement. The states picked up the baton from there.

Matt and David cover the decision, the history of Ticketmaster’s tangles with Pearl Jam and the Justice Department, how the current case played out, and what the decision means for the future of Ticketmaster—and the antitrust movement.
