Welcome to the Corporate Casket, a semiweekly series where bad businesses go to die. We will discuss any and everything from bad charities, terrible CEOs, and businesses that have a lot to hide.
When Live Nation and Ticketmaster joined forces over a decade ago, they promised that the new partnership would benefit consumers. The new powerful relationship has, unfortunately, proven to be anything but beneficial to the public; soaring ticket prices, alleged monopolies, and widespread controversies over beloved artists have become commonplace. Can the two be separated? And if so, can anything return to normal again?
