TicketBiscuit CEO Jeff Gale is extensively quoted in today’s web cover feature for Alternative Press about the impending mega-merger. Author Luke O’Neil does a great job covering the multiple perspectives about the deal, and gives a shout out to our own Music Liberation Fund as well. Check it out:

“This is a campaign that we came up with as soon as we heard about the proposed merger,” says Ticket Biscuit CEO Jeff Gale. “We pretty quickly concluded that that was going to be no good for anyone but Live Nation and Ticketmaster. We wanted to do what we could to preserve the independent spirit of the American music community, venues, artists and promoters outside of that umbrella. It was a portion of our projected revenue that we set aside to help further that effort by being able to make very attractive ticketing deals with venues that want to remain or become independent of that conglomeration, or artists or promoters that want to do the same thing.”

The approval of the merger looks likely at this point. If you are a venue operator or promoter looking for ticketing alternatives, check out our Online Ticketing and Box Office Software systems.
