The Justice Department has settled its antitrust lawsuit against Ticketmaster’s parent company, Live Nation Entertainment, aiming to lessen the company’s hold on ticket sales. The agreement is expected to open opportunities for other ticket sellers, potentially lowering costs and widening access for music fans.

Equitable Trust Co. sold 18,285 Live Nation shares during the second quarter, cutting its stake by 80.4%. The move left the institutional investor with 4,458 shares of the live entertainment company.

The Federal Trade Commission has filed a lawsuit accusing Ticketmaster and Live Nation of colluding with brokers to inflate ticket prices. Citing alleged deceptive practices, the suit focuses on claims that Ticketmaster’s customer purchasing limits did little to prevent large-scale reseller acquisitions of event tickets.
