About this product
Product Information
Since its launch in 1975, Ticketmaster has come to achieve such market dominance that some critics have denounced the company as an unlawful monopoly. Yet its path to the top was far from inevitable. Ticket Masters is based on first-person interviews with the key players and describes the behaviour of many world-renowned musicians from the righteous to the rapacious. With access to promoters, musicians and execs alike, Ticket Masters offers new riffs and wrinkles on a saga of ambition in the entertainment industry.

Reviews
"Budnick and Baron did a tremendous job in chronicling the history of the U.S. and Canadian concert business and how the business models have changed. . . . Ticket Masters is an excellent book for music historians and business geeks alike." --www.boomerocity.com, "A fascinating insider's portrait of the music business once all of the pulsing lights, fog machines and sound equipment have been turned off." — Maclean's (June 27, 2011), "A fascinating insider's portrait of the music business once all of the pulsing lights, fog machines and sound equipment have been turned off." -- Maclean's (June 27, 2011), "For anyone who's ever suffered rock concert sticker shock -- and we all have -- Dean Budnick and Josh Baron's Ticket Masters is the best seat in the house to the show behind the show: and inside look at those inexhaustible high-wire artists, corporate jugglers, and ringmasters who are always chasing one more deal, one more concession, one more buck in the empire burlesque that is the multi-billion-dollar rock concert business." -- Fred Goodman, author of Fortune's Fool and The Mansion on the Hill, "Who turned concert ticketing into a monstrous machine for bleeding music fans dry? Dean Budnick and Josh Baron of Relix chronicle the rise of the Ticketmaster juggernaut - and hell-spawn like Clear Channel, StubHub, and Live Nation - by following the money with the dogged persistence of detectives and a knack for turning bottom-line history into engaging narrative . . . If you wonder why you're paying ten times as much for overblown, cross-promoted spectacles that are one-tenth as satisfying as the rock and roll of your youth, you need to read this book." - Steve Silberman, Editor, Wired magazine, "Budnick and Baron did a tremendous job in chronicling the history of the U.S. and Canadian concert business and how the business models have changed. . . . Ticket Masters is an excellent book for music historians and business geeks alike." —www.boomerocity.com, "A clear, comprehensive look at a murky business, the book is also an encyclopedia of information about the rise, decline and rebirth of the live music industry." -- Wall Street Journal (May 28, 2011), " Ticket Masters covers a lot of terrain, and a lot of terrain in fine and meticulous detail."Douglas J. Johnston, Winnipeg Free Press, "[A] lively, sprawling chronology of the concert-ticket sales business . . . Budnick and Baron offer information in accessible language fortified with verbatim dialogue from a pantheon of music-industry brass." -- Kirkus Reviews (April 15, 2011), "A clear, comprehensive look at a murky business, the book is also an encyclopedia of information about the rise, decline and rebirth of the live music industry." — Wall Street Journal (May 28, 2011), "In other hands, this book could have been dull and academic, but it reads like an adventure story, full of colorful characters, shady transactions, and surprising twists and turns. For everyone who has been dumbstruck by the extra fees added to the price of admission, this book is just the ticket. Highly recommended for eventgoers everywhere." — Library Journal (May 1, 2011), "[A] lively, sprawling chronology of the concert-ticket sales business . . .
