Abstract
Live Nation and its subsidiary Ticketmaster control a wide range of areas within the live entertainment industry. Their current conduct in that industry regarding fees added to ticket prices is arguably in violation of Canada’s Competition Act. Canada’s Competition Bureau, the country’s economic watchdog, recently filed an application alleging that these fee add-ons constitute deceptive marketing practices. Ticketmaster’s defence in support of their fees is contradictory to their practices and is unreasonable and self-serving. Regardless of the outcome of the Competition Bureau’s application, federal legislation should be implemented to curb these marketing practices.
Live Nation及其子公司Ticketmaster控制着现场娱乐行业的广泛领域。他们目前在该行业关于门票价格附加费的行为可以说违反了加拿大的《竞争法》。加拿大经济监督机构竞争局最近提交了一份申请，声称这些附加费用构成欺骗性营销行为。Ticketmaster为支持他们的费用而进行的辩护与他们的做法相矛盾，是不合理和自私的。无论竞争局的申请结果如何，都应该实施联邦立法来遏制这些营销行为。
