Attorney General William Tong and 33 other attorneys general led the lawsuit against Ticketmaster and Live Nation.

Tong says now that the trial is over the judge will decide what happens next and how damages are decided.

He stated they are pushing for a break up of Ticketmaster and Live Nation so other ticket vendors can compete.

"Does anyone believe that Ticketmaster has cornered the market on the best and only technology we should use - come on, right? This is like the tech age." Tong stated." There are other products, other competitors, we want to give them the chance to fight, and compete for our business which will drive prices down, at the end of the day this is about cost."

Tong says Ticketmaster and Live Nation will owe hundreds of millions of dollars in damages to the states involved in the lawsuit.
