"Multinational concert promoter Live Nation Entertainment has come under fire,
with an ABC
Four Corners investigation saying its unprecedented market power
is open to abuse.
The report follows concerns about the introduction of dynamic pricing – where
ticket prices change according to demand – to the Australian concert market. A
parliamentary inquiry into the live music sector is also underway.
Industry luminaries such as Peter Garrett and Michael Chugg told the ABC that
Australia’s music scene is under threat, echoing the concerns of frustrated
bands and fans. Live Nation issued a statement ahead of the program, calling it
inaccurate and unbalanced.
So what is Live Nation and how is market concentration affecting our music
scene?"
