Ticket Masters: The Rise of the Concert Industry and How the Public Got Scalped

â€œA clear, comprehensive look at a murky business.â€ â€”The Wall Street JournalÂ
Your favorite band has just announced their nationwide tour. Should you pay to join their fan club and get in on the pre-sale? No, you decide to wait. But the on-sale date arrives, and the site is jammed. You canâ€™t get onâ€”and the concert is sold out in six minutes. What happened? What now?
Music journalists Dean Budnick and Josh Baron chronicle the behind-the-scenes history of the modern concert industry. Filled with entertaining rock-and-roll anecdotes about The Rolling Stones, The Grateful Dead, Pearl Jam, and moreâ€”and charting the emergence of players like Ticketmaster, StubHub, Live Nation, and Outboxâ€”Ticket Masters will transfix every concertgoer who wonders just where the price of admission really goes. This edition has an updated epilogue that covers recent industry developments. Â Â
