Oh yeah, they don't actually own any venues (or they would all have, like, one toilet with a sign on it saying there are no toilets available but there may still be toilets available). They just have exclusive contracts with them. Sadly it looks like there hasn't been any serious push to prosecute them for anti-trust since a year-long Justice Department investigation was mysteriously quashed in 1995 immediately after the Ticketmaster dude retained a law firm that just happened to be super-cozy with the anti-trust division.

Man, the more I learn about these fuckbuckets the less I like them, and my liking was already pretty low this morning. I recommend not taking an interest in pop music so you never have to deal with them.
