There's some really interesting evidence presented in this case.

You actually broke this story.

There was some audio of a call from the CEO of Live Nation, Michael Rapinoe, talking to the head of the Barclays Center here in New York.

And they're negotiating over whether or not their deal is over and what might happen if the Barclays Center doesn't re-up with Ticketmaster.

We actually have the audio.

Again, this was exclusively broken on The Verge by Lauren.

Let's run that here.

Lauren, that's quite a call.

We ran it on like our Instagram and people were like, this just sounds like a negotiation.

But the government presented that as evidence of monopoly.

What were we hearing there?

And that feels like the tying, right?

If you don't sign up for Ticketmaster, the artists that we represent at Live Nation won't come through Barclays Center.

They'll go to another venue.

In the courtroom, did that go over as the government intended it to?

Could you tell if that was convincing?

We need to take a quick break.

We're back with Verge Senior Policy Reporter Lauren Finer.

The case is proceeding.

The evidence is being presented.
