Brooklynvegan.com wrote a blog post about the possible Ticketmaster-Live Nation merger. I commented on it, here's a link to the blog post and a re-posting of my comment below:
I agree, I think it is odd that two of the most successful companies, who were competing against one another a short time ago, are all of a sudden joining forces and becoming some sort of super-company. I'm also afraid of Live Nation Ticketmaster having even more of a monopoly on ticket sales than they already did. It's hard, especially in this economy, to afford to go to shows. We all know that a monopoly is not good for the economy, and Live Nation and Ticketmaster's extra fees really add on a lot to the general ticket price, and have often been the reason why I choose not to go to a specific show. If the high ticket prices of Live Nation and Ticketmaster continue, myself and many others may be forced to just attend the local $10 shows.
Note: The Live Nation Ticketmaster merger has been confirmed.
