| ...This week, two United States senators [are asking] the Justice Department to investigate the state of competition in the ticketing business, and to extend a regulatory agreement with Live Nation Entertainment, the industry behemoth that owns Ticketmaster. In a letter to Makan Delrahim, the assistant attorney general in charge of antitrust, the senators, Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut and Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota — both Democrats — called the ticket industry “broken” and complained of “exorbitant fees and inadequate disclosures” in the ticket buying process... Posted due to the obvious relevance to Broadway ticketing, as well. |

| Then do it.* * I should warn that the lawsuit will be dismissed promptly on a motion for summary judgment for failure to state a claim for which relief can be granted. Also I should warn that in all likelihood, costs will be assessed against you. |
