I was wondering when we would start seeing the synergy between Front Line and Ticketmaster Entertainment, here it is...
This thing is going to be huge. This is just the beginning. Irving Azoff is the MOST powerful man in the record business, hands down. Rapino? He has no experience managing act, only promotion. Do you think the Eagles are planning to leave Irving's ranks anytime soon? Not likely.
The Fan. Celebrate. This may mark the first step in fan-friendly business practices within the power brokers of the music industry. Does this make sense? Yes. Will they actually be charging the same prices? Probably. But at least the fan will know what he is paying.
At this point the only person that can shake things up more than Irving will be Jim Griffin and his yet-to-be-determined, probably-won't-happen-for-many-years ISP entertainment charge. Jim, an update?
