AIG, GM, CITI, WALMART, CHASE where are the Anti trust folks? These huge corporations drive out all the smaller businesses then they are deemed to big to fail. Then the great Socialist States of America can bail them out. I can see it now, the great LNE bail out fund payed for by all the smal businesses that they set out to destroy. What next, China will force LNE to book all Chinese acts since they will own most of the USA anyway.

The math is pretty simple. TicketMaster earned about $1B in revenue from ticket fees in 2008. Since most of their contracts carry a 5-year term, roughly 20% of that ($200M) should be up for grabs in 2009. We estimate that we can capture 10% of those expiring contracts, which works out to $20M. We are willing to share half or more of this revenue back to venues and promoters who come on board with us via the MLF, hence the $10M figure. Those venues and promoters would then be free to share that revenue back with their patrons in the form of reduced or eliminated service fees. Unlike Ticketmaster, we do not dictate the amount of any service fee that is added to the cost of the ticket. Further, we always counsel our clients (primarily venues and promoters) to keep service fees as low as possible, as a means of encouraging advance sales.
