  • Garbage & the Temper Trap Join for Next Winery Series!
    Media Release – Thursday July 28 GARBAGE & THE TEMPER TRAP JOIN FOR NEXT WINERY SERIES! With the Preatures, Tash Sultana and Adalita a day on the green has assembled an epic line-up for its next series of winery concerts. Alt-rock pioneers Garbage and Australia’s own multi-platinum chart toppers The Temper Trap will come together as part of their respective national tours for five outdoor events through November/December. The concerts will feature a stellar under-card with special guests The Preatures, Tash Sultana and Adalita. The five band bill kicks off at Victoria’s Rochford Wines on Saturday November 26. These will be the Garbage’s first Australian shows since 2013 and celebrate their acclaimed sixth studio album Strange Little Birds (out now via Liberator Music). To create Strange Little Birds, their first album in four years, Garbage (Shirley Manson, Steve Marker, Duke Erikson and Butch Vig) drew on a variety of influences including the albums they loved growing up. Upon its June release, the album debuted at #9 on the ARIA Album Chart and picked up widespread acclaim: ‘20-plus years after forming, each band member is still fired up to mine new sounds and approaches for inspiration. That willingness to be uncomfortable and look beneath the surface makes Strange Little Birds a rousing success.’ – The A.V. Club ‘The electronic rockers return with a sixth studio album as cool and caustic as their 1995 debut’ – NME ‘Garbage haven’t released an album this immediate, melodically strong and thematically interesting since their self-titled 1995 debut.’ – Mojo In support of the album’s release, Garbage performed a powerful two-song performance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! – watch ‘Empty’ here and ‘Push It’ here.

  • Amazon Looking to Sell Sports, Music Tickets and Encroach on Ticketmaster 11 August 2017, by Mike Snider, Usa Today
    Report: Amazon looking to sell sports, music tickets and encroach on Ticketmaster 11 August 2017, by Mike Snider, Usa Today Live Nation earlier this week reported $2.8 billion in revenue for its second-quarter, which ended June 30. That up 27% over the $2.2 billion in the same period last year. Amazon has several jobs listed online for its Amazon Tickets, including a project manager for "Earth's most customer-centric ticketing company, a place where event-goers can come to find and discover any ticket they might want to buy online." Selling tickets could drive Amazon Prime memberships and bundled merchandise sales, according to the report. Amazon is reportedly in talks with sports and concert venues to sell tickets, a move that could Amazon and Live Nation declined to comment on challenge Ticketmaster's dominance in the the report. business. ©2017 USA Today Amazon, which two years ago began selling tickets Distributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC. in the U.K., has approached U.S. venue owners about partnering to sell tickets here, too, Reuters reported Thursday, citing four sources knowledgeable about the development. The strategy amounts to a shot across the bow of event heavyweight Live Nation, which owns Ticketmaster and owns or is aligned with 196 U.S. venues, including The Fillmore in San Francisco, the Hollywood Palladium and House of Blues venues. Amazon hopes to take advantage of consumer displeasure in the current state of ticket fees and sports leagues and venue operators' desire for additional competition, Reuters reported. Ticket sales represent a prime business in the U.S.

  • Michael A. Einhorn, Ph.D
    COMMENTS ON LIVE NATION/TICKETMASTER MERGER By Michael A. Einhorn, Ph.D. The merger is economically efficient for three reasons related to the parties. First, LN and TM will eliminate duplication in administration and staffing, appreciate scale economies in physical resources, and better integrate data mining and information transfer from buyer to promoter and touring agent. On the buyer side, music fans may benefit from one-stop shopping, integrated ticketing and artist merchandising, and “versioning” or promotional pricing that considers a buyer’s online history. Opposing parties have expressed a number of concerns, some subset of which may be covered by American antitrust statutes that now compose the legal framework behind the DOJ’s review of this matter (the Sherman Act, Clayton Act and Federal Trade Commission Act). From their inception, these acts were enacted to protect against competitive harm. Competitive harm necessarily means ultimate harm to the buyer, and not alone to the interests of either a performing artist or another competitor. Opponents of the merger must then be prepared ultimately to present verifiable evidence to the DOJ (and possibly to a U.S. District Court) on why consumers may be worse off under a merger. Behind the ticketing decision, major artists (or their agents) set the prices of concert tickets. As antitrust economist Luke Froeb details, artist managers, concert promoters, performance venues, and ticket agencies take a negotiated percentage from concert revenues or ticket prices, so constituting a “wedge” between buyer price and artist take. Ticket prices have increased substantially in the past decade because more artists rely upon costly mega-tours to bring in income.

  • Jeremy Larochelle Strategic Analysis of Live Nation Entertainment
    Strategic Analysis of Live Nation Entertainment 1 Strategic Analysis of Live Nation Entertainment Jeremy Larochelle, MBA Strategic Analysis of Live Nation Entertainment 2 Executive Summary The following is an in-depth analysis of Live Nation Entertainment’s strategy, competitive position and business execution practices based on concepts from the book Crafting and executing strategy by Arthur A. Thompson Jr., Dr. A.J. (Lonnie) Strickland, John E. Gamble and Margaret A. Peteraf. Data for this study were gathered from the organization’s internal documents including Live Nation’s 2013 Annual Report and the Investor Relations section of their website as well as third-party research, news clippings and industry analysis. The report also calls upon the author’s experience in the music promotion market as a booking agent and marketing specialist. The research revealed an organization executing a well-crafted strategy to vertically integrate the unique value chain elements of their main concert business. As a result, Live Nation has catapulted past their competition in the U.S. concert and event promotion market as well as the global online ticketing industry where they hold commanding market shares in each. Despite this success, there is still opportunity for the publically traded company to grow and improve. For example, management has stated that they will continue to expand globally and advance their mobile ticketing platform. In addition, the author offers recommendations in a number of key areas to help propel the business even further. These are found at the end of each section along with a full recommendation to conclude the paper.

  • Analyzing Public Relations Framing and Ethics Through the 2010 Ticketmaster-Live Nation Merger
    Public Relations Framing and Ethics through 2010 Ticketmaster-Live Nation Merger by Anna Davis — 121 Merging Through Media: Analyzing Public Relations Framing and Ethics through the 2010 Ticketmaster-Live Nation Merger Anna Davis* Corporate Communications Elon University Abstract This research article analyzes the 2010 Ticketmaster-Live Nation merger, evaluating the companies’ public relations tactics during the merger, the merger’s ethical implications, and the impact on the music industry. Through a content analysis comparison of language from both company-generated and major news publication writings about the merger, this research highlights the contradiction between the companies’ framed message and public perception of the merger. While the companies’ writings portray the merger as in- novative, beneficial, visionary, and fan focused, news outlets write in themes of domination, worrisome predic- tions, and monopoly, with limited positivity. This paper concludes that the public relations tactics employed by Ticketmaster and Live Nation during the merger did not influence public opinion. The merger will have a major impact on the concert industry, possibly trampling independent promoters and continuing to raise ticket prices by cornering the market on major concert venues, tickets, and performers. I. Introduction As modern businesses continue to streamline services to boost stock and cut back on resources, mergers have become common and powerful in America. Within the concert industry, two giants have struck a deal and engaged in a vertical merger. Ticketmaster, the world’s largest entertainment ticketing and market- ing company, is joining forces as of February of 2010 with Live Nation, the world’s top producer of live con- certs.

    Marshall-Wythe School of Law A CAREFUL EXAMINATION OF THE PROPOSED LIVE NATION- TICKETMASTER MERGER Alan J. Meese William & Mary Law School Barak D.

M eese* Barak D. Richman** People deserve better. They deserve the truth. They deserve honesty. The best music, you can seek some shelter in it momentarily, but it's essentially there to provide you something to face the world with. --Bruce Springsteen God have mercy on the man who doubts what he's sure of. “Brilliant Disguise” Tunnel of Love (1987) As great admirers of The Boss and as fans of live entertainment, we share in the popular dismay over rising ticket prices for live performances. But we have been asked as antitrust scholars to examine the proposed merger of Live Nation and Ticketmaster, and we do so with the objectivity and honesty called for by The Boss’s quotes above. The proposed merger has been the target of aggressive attacks from several industry commentators and popular figures, but the legal and policy question is whether the transaction is at odds with the nation’s antitrust laws. One primary source of concern to critics is that Ticketmaster and Live Nation are two leading providers of ticket distribution services, and these critics argue that the merged entity would have a combined market share that is presumptively anticompetitive.
