Live Nation Attorneys Get Green Light to Access Some Confidential Documents in Antitrust Suit


Live Nation's in-house attorneys can access some confidential documents in the DOJ lawsuit against the concert giant.

A federal judge overseeing the case agreed to establish the two-tiered system for dealing with non-public documents the DOJ subpoenaed from Live Nation competitors as part of its ongoing investigation.

Two days after that, attorneys for SeatGeek, AEG and ASM Global filed letters asking Subramanian to prevent Wall and Tobias from viewing any sensitive documents produced by the companies.
