Live Nation高管嘲讽粉丝，并在内部信息中推广剥削性定价，引发了一起2.8亿美元的反垄断诉讼，涉及票务操作。 Live Nation executives mocked fans and promoted exploitative pricing in internal messages, fueling a $280M antitrust case over ticketing practices.

2024年反垄断诉讼中披露的Live Nation员工内部Slack留言显示，区域主管嘲笑客户“真是太愚蠢”，并开玩笑说“抢劫他们”，同时推广高价VIP和停车附加服务。 Internal Slack messages from Live Nation employees, revealed in a 2024 antitrust lawsuit, show regional directors mocking customers as “so stupid” and joking about “robbing them blind” while promoting high-priced VIP and parking add-ons. 这些信息在2021年至2023年期间交换,详细介绍了溢价服务的利润,司法部和39个州援引这些信息作为剥削性定价做法的证据。 The messages, exchanged between 2021 and 2023, detail profits from premium services and were cited by the Justice Department and 39 states as evidence of exploitative pricing practices. Live Nation否认这些评论反映了公司政策, 领导人公开得知这些评论, 并试图将他们排除在审判之外, 而政府则认为这些评论揭示了公司对粉丝定价的处理方式。 Live Nation denies the comments reflect company policy, says leadership learned of them publicly, and seeks to exclude them from trial, while the government argues they reveal the company’s approach to fan pricing. 该案试图强迫第三方开罚单,可能会造成高达2.8亿美元的损害。 The case, seeking to force open ticketing to third parties, could result in up to $280 million in damages.
