Down With The Monopoly!
It’s about time!
Looks like Ticketmaster will have some serious competition. Hopefully this will cause it to be competitive - and lower its prices!!!!!!
Live Nation, the owners and promoters of music venues all around the world (who also gave Jay Z and Madonna those crazy $100 million contracts), will be launching its own ticketing arm once its contract with Ticketmaster expires at the end of the year.
A little competition is always good for us buyers!
But at the end of the day, Live Nation is a big corporation, too.
Just plan on them taking your money in other ways - like scalping their own tickets!
