Lets face it, Ticketing Event companies like Ticketmaster are exploitative money hungry culture harpies! They have an awful reputation with live music fans and unfortunately hold a monopoly with Live Nation and a couple overs by owning all the large venues.

We never hear from the people and organisations on the other side. The venue owners, event organisers, promotors or their sales and account teams. Recently Ticketmaster has blamed the core issues on their partners client side.

Have you worked with “Ticketmaster, See Ticket, Skiddle, Live Nation, Dice, Fever” From a client side role? This could be a venue owner, event organiser or promoter or even in the sales or accounts team?

What are your experiences with dealing with these companies and what tends to be the main pain points? Are they as bad for you as they are for us?
