> usually owns the venues outright Really? "Usually?" I don't believe that.

  Usually is a bit strong, yeah. Here's their ownership map: http://www.livenationentertainment.com/map/venues http://www.livenationentertainment.com/map/venues They do have far more exclusive-license venues than that, though.

    That map is only their large stadium sized venues. http://www.houseofblues.com http://www.houseofblues.com is one of the biggest conglomerates for small size venues, also owned by Live Nation.

      House of Blues was actually what I was thinking of when I commented. Again though... > one of the biggest conglomerates House of Blues is 10 locations in 9 states.

        Hmmm, do you know of a larger small venue group that is owned by a single entity? (or more specially not owned by Live Nation and requires TicketMaster tickets)
        • dopamean 10y ago
          "Biggest" and "conglomerate" make it sound like something that it is not. There may not be larger small venue groups but if someone told me that there was a large "conglomerate" operating in the small venue space I'd assume it was more than 10 venues.

      Oh thanks, didn't realize that. I saw that their filing cited only their 40 "arenas", but I somehow thought the map was everything.
