Video (02:48) : Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar, right, co-helmed a U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee hearing Tuesday exploring Ticketmaster's alleged monopoly on the concert industry. Since that merger with Ticketmaster, Live Nation has also taken ownership or control of more than 200 concert venues nationwide and become managers to many top artists. "The fact of the matter is Live Nation and Ticketmaster is the 800-pound gorilla here. Speaking after the hearing, Klobuchar raved, "It was so bipartisan, you couldn't even tell sometimes what party [the senators] are in." Klobuchar also is hopeful Live Nation/Ticketmaster will now improve on its own: "Live Nation did make some commitments in that hearing room."
