So Now What

Now that a jury had determined that Live Nation illegally monopolized event ticketing, what happens next?

My guess is not much, beyond a tiny hit to profits for a quarter, but I am a cynic.

A jury in a high-stakes antitrust trial found Wednesday that Live Nation and its subsidiary Ticketmaster illegally maintained monopoly power in the ticketing market.

Jurors delivered the verdict in federal court in New York City after around five weeks of trial, which featured testimony from dozens of witnesses. The jury began deliberating Friday.

Personally, I'd like to see criminal charges filed against the executives, but likely we will see a minor financial award and some toothless remedies.
