ticketmaster
Ticketmaster is based in West Hollywood, California, USA, but has operations in many countries around the world. Typically, Ticketmaster's clients (arenas, stadiums, and theatres) control their events, and Ticketmaster simply acts as an agent, selling the tickets that the clients make available to them.
One of the first ticketing companies to sell tickets on the Internet, Ticketmaster now sells a large percentage of its tickets online, some via phone, and almost none through its once large network of ticket outlets.
Ticketmaster has recently devoted significant resources to keeping up with fraud and offers the usual variety of options available for consumer goods. Other technology includes barcoded tickets, which offers the ability for counterfeit ticket to be refused at the point of entrance.
Ticketmaster's market share remains over 50% of total sales for tickets in the United States and the ready availability of web-based ticketing software have combined to keep its overall sales from growing in 2004 and 2005.
Major League Baseball's acquisition of rival Tickets.com in 2005 marks the most significant organization moving away from using Ticketmaster's services.
Ticketmaster is owned by IAC/InterActiveCorp, a large company that also owns many other popular Internet sites and services.
Service fees
As an example of a fairly typical markup, a ticket to see Motörhead at Brixton Academy, London 2006, will cost £25, plus £3.75 per ticket service charge, plus £4.95 postage and packing per order. In this example, the fees are approximately an additional 35% of the cost of the ticket. Tickets to see the Westminster Dog Show in New York in 2007 are $40, plus a $10 "convenience fee", plus postage. More expensive tickets would have higher charges, but generally proportionately less relative to the total: tickets to see Pavarotti at Chatsworth House were selling for £85 for the ticket, £8 service charge per ticket, and £2.50 per order for either postal delivery or box office collection. A day ticket to T in the Park costs £56.50 face value but with extra charges it goes up to £63.50.
Further examples of a typical markup include a $30 ticket to see Public Enemy at the House Of Blues in Chicago, IL on March 8th, 2007 becomes $45.36 after fees (51% markup); a $25 ticket to see The Decemberists at the Tabernacle in Atlanta, GA on April 6, 2007 becomes $39.40 after fees (58% markup); a $50 ticket to see The Pogues at the Congress Theatre in Chicago, IL on March 6th becomes $67.53 after fees (35% markup).
