Following a recent ruling by a New York jury that found Live Nation Entertainment and its subsidiary Ticketmaster guilty of monopolistic practices, there are increasing calls for an investigation into ticketing regulations in Australia. The jury identified a baseline overcharge of $1.72 per ticket sold since 2010, leading to an estimated total of $595 million in overcharges by 2025. Promoters in Australia, like Paul Sloan of Billions Australia, suggest that the actual overcharge could be closer to A$10 ($6.50 USD) per ticket due to hidden fees. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) is being urged to take action in light of a parliamentary inquiry report from March 2025, which recommended monitoring the music industry for anti-competitive practices. The Media, Entertainment & Arts Alliance (MEAA) has echoed these calls, highlighting the detrimental impact of monopolistic power on musicians and the industry. The US case is now moving into a remedy phase, where the court may decide if Live Nation should divest Ticketmaster, a move that could have significant implications for the Australian market. The Australian government is under pressure to implement fairer ticketing rules and stronger competition laws to safeguard local artists and venues from the adverse effects of concentrated market power.
