Ticketmaster is the largest ticketing provider of the lot. They cater for any event that requires a ticket for admission with music, sport, theatre, comedy amongst many other categories. Get Your Ears Out only integrates their music feed/s of course, Ticketmaster is a primary ticketing provider and our website utilises a dynamic data feed from Ticketmaster to publish gig listings for all UK gigs Ticketmaster are facilitating.
The main business is called Ticketmaster Entertainment and is made up of Ticketmaster and Front Line Management Group. They are regarded the world's leading live entertainment ticketing and marketing company based on the number of tickets they actually sell.
Ticketmaster is a large corporate global business and they operate in 20 markets, providing ticket sales, ticket resale services, marketing and distribution through www.ticketmaster.com, which according to their marketing material is one of the largest e-commerce sites on the Internet. There is no doubt, it’s a huge business – there are roughly 7,100 retail outlets; and 17 worldwide call centres.
The company has heritage too, it was established in 1976 and has grown significantly since then with Ticketmaster providing services to more than 10,000 clients worldwide. Ticketmaster provides exclusive ticketing services for many of the world’s leading arenas, stadiums, professional sports franchises and leagues, college sports teams, performing arts venues, museums, and theatres.
The company has looked to consolidate the relationships between those that control the artists and Ticketmaster Entertainment acquired the controlling interest in Front Line Management Group in 2008. FLMG was founded by Irving Azoff & Howard Kaufman in 2004 and is regarded as one of the world's leading artist management company. Ticketmaster Entertainment, Inc. is headquartered in West Hollywood, California (NASDAQ:TKTM). In the UK Ticketmaster have offices in London, Manchester, Glasgow and Newcastle-under-Lyme.
Ticketmaster also own Ticketweb which is another feed that we utilise on Get Your Ears Out. Get Me In is the secondary ticketing platform owned by Ticketmaster; currently we do not offer secondary ticketing links to Get Me In or any secondary ticketing source as we feel that these services inflate ticket prices unnecessarily.
More recently Ticketmaster has announced their merger with Live Nation creating the world’s largest live event and management business, the new company in called Live Nation Entertainment.
