Live Nation ticketing worker regrets calling customers stupid, he says at antitrust trial

A Live Nation Entertainment ticketing employee says it was immature and unacceptable that he called customers stupid. Ticketing worker Benjamin Baker testified Tuesday in Manhattan federal court at the company's antitrust trial. The Justice Department settled its claims and dropped out of the case last week. Now, over 30 states are pressing claims that Live Nation and affiliated Ticketmaster drive up concert ticket prices through monopolistic practices. The states argue Live Nation has gotten too big and arrogant. The company denies it, saying it acts fairly in an industry more competitive than ever.
