On top of that (somewhat to TM's credit), I remember reading an article stating that they were the only company who had proven they could handle the huge load of online sales for top-tier acts (think Gaga and Bieber).
Let's face it, Louis CK's site probably could not handle 100K simultaneous people buying tickets and choosing seats.
EDIT: found the article

- voltagex_ 14y agoThat's interesting. The Australian branch of Ticketmaster uses queuing and delays to handle load and still often crashes when "big" events go on sale (annual festivals, Radiohead)
- bitdestroyer 14y agoRadiohead couldn't even handle Radiohead on their last American tour.
- beedogs 14y agoConfirmed. The radiohead ticket release was an abomination. Although somehow, Ticketek manages to be even worse.
