To put it into perspective I work for two years at Amazon to try to create a competitor to Ticketmaster. Our ticket sales infrastructure wasn’t quite as polished as Ticketmaster is but it was passable. What killed the product though is that we couldn’t get any reasonably sized contracts in the United States. So even a company with the motivation to burn capital the size of Amazon couldn’t swing competing with Ticketmaster.

- eschneider 4y agoYou have to look at it this way: Ticketmaster's job isn't so much "selling tickets", as being the "designated bad guys" so artists and venues don't have to be. Everyone gets their cut.
