In 1995, Seattle rockers Pearl Jam gave up their 18-month fight against Ticketmaster. The band said it was impossible to run a tour without the agency. Pearl Jam had claimed Ticketmaster was a monopoly with unreasonable service charges. The band complained to the U-S Justice Department and testified before Congress.
"For the large venues where Ticketmaster has an exclusive monopoly, they will have to go back to Ticketmaster," said Barbara Lynch, a publicist for ETM Entertainment Network, the alternative ticket agency backed by the Seattle-based band.
