Stop the Ticketmaster merger

If you want, you can use the link below to send an e-mail to Assistant Attorney General Christine Varney, head of the anti-trust division of the Department of Justice, asking that this merger be stopped.

Ticketmaster wants to merge with Live Nation (Ticketmaster's leading competitor), meaning that most of the tickets we could buy would be coming from the new mega-ticket conglomerate.

Ticketmaster already adds around 30% to the cost of a ticket in junk fees. And from past experience we know that the less competition, the worse these guys get with their handling, processes and other nonsense fees.
