Statement on the DOJ/Live Nation Settlement

StatEments

NITO’s statement on the DOJ/Live Nation settlement agrees with the artist data-sharing requirement but warns several provisions are too vague to be effective. The 15% fee cap should cover all Live Nation venues (not just amphitheaters), outside promoters need real access to ancillary revenue and premium tickets to compete, and enforcement mechanisms must have real teeth with protection for whistleblowers. NITO calls for these gaps to be closed before further terms are finalized.
