Stop the Ticketmaster merger

Ticketmaster wants to merge with Live Nation (Ticketmaster's leading competitor), meaning that most of the tickets we could buy would be coming from the new mega-ticket conglomerate.

Ticketmaster already adds around 30% to the cost of a ticket in junk fees. And from past experience we know that the less competition, the worse these guys get with their handling, processes and other nonsense fees.

Help us stand up to the merger.  Please use the form below to send a message to Assistant Attorney General Christine Varney, head of the anti-trust division of the Department of Justice.  If you can, please add any personal experience you have had with over-priced tickets, or an inability to purchase tickets from alternative vendors.

Letter Dear Assistant Attorney General Varney, The ticket vending business is already dominated by Ticketmaster. As a result, Ticketmaster's fees already frequently make up more than 30 percent of the overall cost of a ticket. Allowing them to merge with their largest remaining competitor, Live Nation, would secure their monopoly over the ticket vending business far into the future. Please protect consumers by upholding anti-trust laws. Say no to the proposed Ticketmaster merger with Live Nation. Sincerely,
