Elizabeth Warren has criticized President Donald Trump's 'Corporate Pardon' of Ticketmaster, citing Taylor Swift, Olivia Dean, and others who have publicly criticized the company's handling of ticket sales. The Justice Department's settlement with Live Nation Entertainment (NYSE:LYV) allows the company to avoid a structural breakup, but it also imposes certain restrictions on Ticketmaster's operations, including opening its platform to competitors like SeatGeek and StubHub, selling up to 13 amphitheaters, reserving half of tickets for nonexclusive venues, capping service fees at 15% and establishing a $280 million fund to settle state damages claims.
