House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Jamie Raskin (D-MD) and Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations Ranking Member Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) led a forum on ticket prices set by Live Nation and its subsidiary, Ticketmaster, after a federal jury in April 2026 found the companies liable for operating an illegal monopoly. Despite the verdict, the Department of Justice under President Trump settled a lawsuit with Live Nation a month before in March 2026, a move that sparked controversy and legal backlash. California Attorney General Rob Bonta (D) and music industry professionals were among the witnesses who testified.
