It sold 120 million tickets, worth $8bn last year and is now owned by Live Nation Entertainment, a giant concert promoter, venue operator and artist manager. It has a near monopoly and is the villain in Josh Budnick's new book, Ticket Masters - The rise of the concert industry and how the public got scalped (ECWPress).
