"Ticketmaster is right there"

I don't have to go through Ticketmaster for everything with events. I do have to go through the apple store if I want to do anything on apple hardware

They're claiming this case is a proxy so that law enforcement can get access. It's not actually about dev fees and monopoly.

Remember how we went to Iraq to "spread democracy" when there's all sorts of regimes we could have toppled instead in Congo/Somolia/etc? Same deal here. If the concern is fees and monopoly, go after Ticketmaster as well, please.

If the venue uses ticketmaster, youve got to go through ticket master.

If the place uses eventbrite or whatever, you dont have to use Ticketmaster in the sense that an android phone doesnt have to use the apple App Store.

Nope. About half a trillion dollars a year for mobile app revenue, but no one is buying anything.

Your argument is flawed. You make a broad approach for Ticketmaster in general, and a narrow scope to just Apple Hardware. Apples to apples(no pun intended) would be market share equivalences. You are talking about all tickets anywhere, I assume, versus apps on a single platform(please correct me if I'm mistaken). The fair comparison would be all ticket sales anywhere versus all apps everywhere.

Ticketmaster controls more than 70 percent of the ticketing and live events market in the world. Apples iOS is less than 30 percent.

But it ultimately doesn't matter because both Apple and LiveNation-Ticketmaster are in the wrong here. Not only does it not have to be one or the other, it isn't. Both are under investigation, but since Apple's investigation has been going on longer in earnest, it is coming to a head seemingly sooner.

These are the unusual patterns in thought caused by a lack of antitrust enforcement. When it doesn't happen when it clearly should, people start making up their own reasons and conspiracies.
