To put it bluntly, Ticketmaster is going through hell with all the negative press surrounding the company. Ever since the merger was announced, Ticketmaster and Live Nation have really been under the gun and last night another sketchy act took place. Sean Moriarty, President and CEO of the Ticketmaster...

I have been trying to stay under the radar a bit with the Live Nation – Ticketmaster merger updates to let all the surrounding press simmer down a bit and to let the true stories surface above all the rumor’s. So just one week after the official merger agreement, congress has received the act and...

It’s here… Live Nation Entertainment is waiting for the green light from the Department of Justice for the merger between Live Nation and Ticketmaster to be complete. On that note, I will leave you with an image of how I portray the new Live Nation Entertainment. Thank You.
