The latest Taylor Swift tour created such a frenzy and fiasco on Ticketmaster that Congress held a hearing, and now, the Department of Justice may sue Ticketmaster/Live Nation for antitrust issues. Should the companies break up because of a lack of competition, or is it being overblown because of the popularity of Swift?
