Live Nation employees internal messages, calling fans stupid and boasting about price gouging, have been revealed in a federal court antitrust trial against Live Nation and Ticketmaster. The messages, from late 2021 to early 2023, discuss high fees for VIP access and other add-ons. Live Nation dismisses the talk as casual banter, but officials argue it proves anticompetitive practices. The trial is on hold, but a ruling on using the messages is expected soon.
