A US federal jury's finding that Live Nation Entertainment and its subsidiary Ticketmaster illegally monopolised the concert industry has prompted fresh calls in Australia for a regulatory investigation into the company's local practices. The New York verdict identified a baseline overcharge of US$1.72 per ticket since 2010, but Australian industry figures suggest domestic fans may be paying far more — with one independent promoter estimating excess fees of around A$10 per ticket. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) and the federal government are now being pressed to act on recommendations from a 2025 parliamentary inquiry, which called for greater ticketing transparency and competition oversight of the live music sector.
