The Last Drop » live nation; ticketmaster http://www.lastdropshop.com Reviews and Clues on Music That Matters (to me) Thu, 02 Feb 2012 06:18:00 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 Say Hello to the Bad Guy http://www.lastdropshop.com/news/say-hello-to-the-bad-guy http://www.lastdropshop.com/news/say-hello-to-the-bad-guy#comments Wed, 04 Feb 2009 23:05:00 +0000 TopDrop http://www.lastdropshop.com/?p=134 When once we thought there was hope (“Solid as Barack…”), there now is just despair. As a fan of live music, my heart just sank a little lower. A proposed merger of LiveNation and Ticketmaster is in the works. One company to rule venues, ticketing, promotional items, and even record contracts. So…there is officially no where to go that won’t charge me a few limbs to see a concert in a mid to large size venue. And there is no potential for competition to shake things up. As much as I hate our overemphasized legal process, I am absolutely hoping for an antitrust dispute case to rear it’s ugly and labor intensive head.

Did I mention the new name sucks. At least TRY to be creative.

This live nation is now my ticket master.
