Protesters made anti-Ticketmaster tee shirts for Tuesday's event.

Nebraska's Attorney General is joining a federal lawsuit against Live Nation-Ticketmaster. A-G Mike Hilgers joined a bipartisan coalition accusing Ticketmaster of holding a monopoly and violating state anti-trust laws. Thirty-nine state attorneys general say the company sells tickets for higher prices in the U-S than in other countries, and forces buyers to use outdated technology. The Nebraska Department of Justice is asking that Live Nation-Ticketmaster stop its anticompetitive conduct.
