concert promoter

Concert promoter AEG, along with Outbox Technology, is developing a company of its own that could represent the first real competition that Ticketmaster has faced in some time.

Ticketmaster Entertainment Inc. said Thursday its second-quarter net income plunged 70 percent as ticket sales volumes fell and the company booked expenses over its pending merger with concert promoter Live Nation Inc.

A key senator is warning that the proposed merger of ticketing company Ticketmaster Entertainment Inc. and concert promoter Live Nation Inc. raises "serious competition concerns."

An auction of film rights to the rehearsal footage of Michael Jackson’s “This is It” tour is underway, and Jackson’s family won’t have a substantive say in where the footage lands.

Concert promoter AEG was still negotiating with studios at press time, but bids for the movie rights were at a reported $50 million and television rights at $10 million, according to Deadline Hollywood Daily.

Three weeks after the iconic singer's death, concert promoter AEG and giant Universal Music Group are expected to begin selling as many as 300 items designed by the 50-year-old singer.

Concert promoter AEG Live's chief executive says insurance will help cover any losses on the now-canceled Michael Jackson concert series if the pop star died accidentally, including of a drug overdose, but not if he died of natural causes.

Live Nation Inc., the world's largest concert promoter, is opening the summer season with a promotion every Wednesday that eliminates some ticket fees, the surcharges that have caused fans to revile its soon-to-be merger partner, Ticketmaster Entertainment Inc.

Concert promoter Live Nation says its first-quarter loss widened as fewer people attended concerts in its core North America market.

I used to take offense and get all worked into a lather when I heard stories about reporters being given cameras.

I'd rant and rave, and now, I just laugh. A tossed-back head type of a laugh, usually coupled with a hearty "good luck".
