Take a closer look. When Live Nation merged with Ticketmaster, CRA helped them conduct antitrust
analyses of competition in concert promotions, artist tour routing, venue selection, and other

Antitrust & Competition Economics: US antitrust

A wealth of experience and expertise

Our roots lie in US antitrust law.  Since our work on behalf of IBM in the 1970s, we have worked on many of the most important government and private antitrust suits on record, including IBM, Kodak, Microsoft, Visa-Mastercard, and Weyerhaeuser, to name a few. Published research by our senior consultants has led to fundamental changes in how economists consider monopolization claims, vertical restraints, and mergers.
