TicketMaster

Needs a legitimate competitor!

[The Huddler]

Agreed. Anything without a legitimate competitor to compete for money is lazy and a poor product. Shame. Thought this was 'Merica.

TicketMaster does resells too, which competes with StubHub, etc...  But yeah I'm not too familiar with anyone who sells original tickets. Live Nation maybe?

Unfortunately Live Nation merged with TicketMaster a while back.

I thought I remembered every time I buy from LN it's been TM.

The problem is the venue typically has a contract with a specific vendor to handle all their ticketing. We definitely don't want each individual venue trying to figure out their own ticketing solution - that's not cost effective for anyone

It's like how not all restaurants use Open table for reservations, how hospitals don't create their own billing or patient management systems

There are ticket competitors... the band or venue has to hire that ticketing system to come out and train/work the event, provide scanners, etc. It's not cheap to do it this way either.
