monopolized big concert venues and overcharged ticket buyers, and Pierce Isabella Gomez Sarmiento reports. The jury's decision is a victory for dozens of states, which accused live nation of controlling too many aspects of the live entertainment industry. That includes through venue ownership, concert promotion, artist management and ticketing.
