As AEG abandons its O2–Staples Center block booking, both it and Sharon Osbourne – whose husband, Ozzy, sued over the policy – are celebrating
Lawyers for Ozzy Osbourne have agreed to drop their lawsuit against AEG after the US venues giant ended its 'Staples Center Commitment' tying booking between Staples Center in LA and the O2 in London.
The long-running 'booking war' between AEG and Madison Square Garden Company (MSG) reached its conclusion earlier this month after Jay Marciano, chairman and CEO of AEG Presents, confirmed the company is no longer block booking its LA Staples Center and London O2 venues.
The Black Sabbath frontman had previously sued over the policy, which the suit said was a "explicit", "brazen" violation of US competition ('antitrust') law.
