002. Fight Club


So, Ticketmaster and Live Nation would like to merge. Some members of Congress (such as the entire Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Antitrust, etc. issues) as well as smaller concert promoters, venue owners and ticket vendors have a problem with that.

This scene sat on the committee's clerk desk. A "United States Senate" document folder and the book "Fight Club." Brilliant.


In focus: Live Nation President and CEO Michael Rapino prepares.

(closest to furthest)
  • Live Nation president and CEO Michael Rapino,
  • Ticketmaster CEO Irving Azoff,
  • JAM Productions chairman Jerry Mickelson,
  • Seth Hurwitz, owner of 9:30 club in DC and co-owner of Washington, D.C., independent promoter I.M.P. Productions,
  • Center of American Progress’ fellow David A. Balto

Story to come tomorrow.
