最高法院允许维持原判, 宣布票务主管的有偏见的仲裁协议无效, 允许反托拉斯集体诉讼进行。 Supreme Court lets stand ruling invalidating Ticketmaster’s biased arbitration agreement, allowing antitrust class action to proceed.

美国最高法院拒绝审查Live Nation在一个消费者反托拉斯案件中的上诉,允许下级法院的裁决认为,根据加利福尼亚州法律,否决票务主管的仲裁协议是不合情理的,因此该裁决无效。 The U.S. Supreme Court declined to review Live Nation’s appeal in a consumer antitrust case, allowing a lower court’s ruling to stand that invalidated Ticketmaster’s arbitration agreement as unconscionable under California law. 该决定保留了第九巡回审判庭的结论,即由新时代协会管理的仲裁规则过于复杂,偏向公司,损害消费者权利。 The decision preserves a Ninth Circuit finding that the arbitration rules, administered by New Era ADR, were overly complex and biased toward companies, undermining consumer rights. 该案件指控票价高涨和垄断做法,现在可以作为集体诉讼在联邦法院提起。 The case, alleging inflated ticket prices and monopolistic practices, can now proceed as a class action in federal court. 该裁决增加了正在进行的反垄断审查，包括司法部领导的解散 Live Nation 的努力以及联邦贸易委员会就倒卖票提起的诉讼。 The ruling adds to ongoing antitrust scrutiny, including a Justice Department-led effort to break up Live Nation and an FTC lawsuit over ticket scalping. 最高法院拒绝干预,使得现代集体仲裁在消费者争端中的可执行性问题悬而未决。 The Supreme Court’s refusal to intervene leaves unresolved questions about the enforceability of modern group arbitration in consumer disputes.
