Each clone would be vertically integrated and would do the same abusive things. Clone A’s venues would use clone A’s ticketing service which would give most of the tickets to clone A’s ticket resale service.

For a consumer who just wants reasonably priced tickets for a particular venue, there would be no change from today under that arrangement.

But if you split the company vertically, the venue business needs to look after its own profits rather than maximizing the vertically integrated profits.
