The Closing Arguments in the Trump Trial

The Daily - The Government Takes On Ticketmaster

Over recent years, few companies have provoked more anger among music fans than Ticketmaster. Last week, the Department of Justice announced it was taking the business to court. David McCabe, who covers technology policy for The Times, explains how the case could reshape America’s multibillion-dollar live music industry.

The Government Takes On Ticketmaster

Before we start today we wanted to invite you to something special.

The Tribeca Festival is starting a brand new annual gala

to celebrate excellence in audio. For this the inaugural year

they've chosen to celebrate the daily. We know you are incredible audience live

all over the world but we'd like to invite you to join us.

The gala is in New York on June 9th at 5 p.m.

You can get all the details and buy tickets at Tribeca Film.com slash the Daily.

I'll be there, Michael II, along with a bunch of us from the show.

Mo Raka is going to host it. So if you're in the area or you're visiting, we'd love to see you

From the New York Times, I'm Sabrina Taverniose, and this is the Daily.

I have got a bone to pick as usual with Ticketmaster.

The biggest problem that I have right now is not getting tickets to the Aritore.

Loading, loading, loading, what I'm so bad, one is so bad, one is so bad.

I looked at my account and the tickets are gone.

Over the past few years, few companies have provoked as much anger.

This is what the news should sound like. The biggest stories of our time, told by the best journalists in the world. Hosted by Michael Barbaro and Sabrina Tavernise. Twenty minutes a day, five days a week, ready by 6 a.m.
