National Independent Venue Alliance told #DOJ #FTC it would ultimately prefer breakup of consolidated #LiveNation arms into four separate #LiveMusic industry companies.
#NIVA filed briefs suggesting separation of the #Concert #ticketing, from the production and #advertising & #sponsorship wings, while #Artist management activities be split off as well after both federal #GOV agencies jointly requested public input on “unfair practices in the live #entertainment marketplace.”
NIVA was founded in 2020 as a #collective live music industry voice during #COVID pandemic when most #events were cancelled and staff and #venues faced dire straits financially.
