Ticketmaster / Live Nation
Nice bunch of folks (2 names for same company), live music fans are not big fans of them, their 3 months delay and apparent lack of concern in reacting to the fraud can be put into quite an interesting context when reading this other story from one of my fave music sites :
"Atlanta's Gwinett Centre is one such example, with the venue claiming that they were dropped from Live Nation-controlled tours in 2013 after switching from using Ticketmaster to an AEG-controlled ticketing company.
Emails between Dan Markham, who is Gwinett's bookings director, and a Live Nation representative, show that the former approached Live Nation to discuss the reasoning behind the venue's loss of shows. The response from Live Nation read: "Three letters. Can you guess what they are?"
