More grift from the Trump admin, a Trump ally is on Ticketmaster board and they fired the DoJ antitrust chief last month to make this deal happen. Ticketmaster paying 3 days of revenue as a fine and getting a slap on the wrist. The terms include them promising not to do any more illegal stuff that was already illegal and they just did anyway, such as retaliating against artists and venues that try to oppose them. Meanwhile we get to continue paying a 30% convenience fee for our tickets, the only reasonable remaining way to support artists in the Spotify era, plus we get to use their shitty app.

Follow the money.
