Live Nation's Blockbuster Alliance


Posted from Encore Magazine:
NEW YORK (CelebrityAccess MediaWire) -- Blockbuster Inc. and Live Nation announced a three-year agreement that makes Blockbuster the exclusive physical retail ticket outlet for Live Nation Ticketing, Live Nation’s new in-house ticketing company, beginning with the start of the 2009 concert season. Under the agreement, Live Nation will sell its retail tickets exclusively through approximately 500 Blockbuster company-owned stores in strategically chosen markets across the country that mirror Live Nation’s concert venue platform footprint, providing music fans with a convenient and familiar outlet to purchase the more than one million tickets Live Nation sells to its concerts through retail locations annually.
The selected stores will offer exclusive blocks of tickets available only at Blockbuster during the first four hours of ticket sales, as well as general ticketing as long as supplies last. Blockbuster will be responsible for managing and operating all aspects of the ticket transactional experience.
