Ticketmaster Settles Antitrust Dispute

In 2007, the Cleveland Cavaliers basketball team and Ticketmater rival Flash Seats LLC filed an antitrust action against Ticketmaster.  The complaint alleged that Ticketmaster used its substantial market power to unlawfully restrain competition by enforcing its exclusive contract with the Cavaliers to block the basketball team for using Flash Seats as a ticket reseller.   Last September, Ticketmaster obtained an injunction blocking the Cavaliers from using Flash Seats.  The terms of the settlement of the antitrust case are undisclosed, but it will permit the Cavaliers to go foward with Flash Seats as a ticket reseller.
