Description
Ticket Masters: A Story of Dominance and Deception in the Concert Industry. In 1975, three young businessmen launched Ticketmaster from a garage in Arizona. Their company would go on to become a market leader, but its rise was marked by controversy and criticism. This book examines the actions and impact of the key players behind some of the biggest names in music, including Clear Channel, Live Nation, and the Grateful Dead. Through first-hand interviews with those involved, Ticket Masters sheds light on the inner workings of the concert industry, revealing how service fees are calculated, why parking costs extra, and who really profits from ticket sales. The book also explores the history of touring and ticket-selling practices among iconic bands like Pearl Jam, U2, and the Rolling Stones.
