Engineering absorbed the heaviest cuts, followed by product management and design, and contractor roles were also reduced. Global President Saumil Mehta told staff the reorganization aimed to "flatten organizational layers" and speed decision-making, positioning AI as "a new utility" to improve mobile integration, search, and pricing transparency. The cuts landed despite strong results. Revenue rose about 10% year over year to $765 million in Q1 2026, and fee-bearing tickets through April climbed 9% to 138 million. They also followed an April 2026 federal ruling that Live Nation held an illegal U.S. ticketing monopoly, along with a March settlement requiring a $280 million damages fund.
