Live Nation Ticketing Executives Brag About Sky-High Parking Fees in Unsealed Messages
TL;DR Summary
Two Live Nation amphitheater regional ticketing directors boasted in private Slack chats about gouging fans with high ancillary fees—such as VIP parking up to $250—as part of an antitrust case. Live Nation said the remarks don’t reflect their practices and noted they cap amphitheater fees at 15% while investing in fan amenities; the case is on hold after a tentative settlement, though some state attorneys general may pursue the matter.
