flag Supreme Court lets stand ruling invalidating Ticketmaster’s biased arbitration agreement, allowing antitrust class action to proceed.

flag 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. flag 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. flag The case, alleging inflated ticket prices and monopolistic practices, can now proceed as a class action in federal court. flag 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. flag The Supreme Court’s refusal to intervene leaves unresolved questions about the enforceability of modern group arbitration in consumer disputes.
