The 2010 merger of Live Nation and Ticketmaster created a live music monolith. Has Live Nation retained its dominance by using savvy tactics or by using threats to withhold top acts? https://t.co/XEppYNENnd

Not sure if this topic is the best place to share this, but quite interesting and disgusting. LiveNation even boycotts entire venues/cities if they for instance don't want to use Ticketmaster to sell tickets.
