It seems like a new music industry cartel in the making. When you add Ticket Master, Live Nation, Front line Management together you get Springsteen, the Eagles, Garth Brooks and many more Heal the World Artists doing exclusive deals with Wal-Mart. Monopoly on ticket sales, CD/DVD sales, is not good for the buying public. These same artists say one thing and do another, just like Wall Street has screwed up and caused a global financial nightmare, we now see the Wal-Mart bands destroying what is left of the music business. A Free Market System is not a monopoly.

The BUILDING might be getting more money then the act thought. Who are we kidding? Everyone acts like TM is the evil doer but the reality is TM gets on average only 50% of the service charge. If I was a building manager I would be scared to death of losing revenue that they already have to fight for.
