Taylor Swift's tour promoter claims it had no choice but to collaborate with Ticketmaster.
Summary by NewsWall Apr 19 23
- Taylor Swift's tour promoter is blaming Ticketmaster for the botched "Eras" ticket sale, perhaps raising even more concerns about the Live Nation-owned ticket seller's dominance in the industry.
- Swift's tour organiser, AEG Presents, has refuted assertions made by Ticketmaster and Live Nation's major shareholder, Liberty Media, that the promoter decided to partner with the ticketing site.
- "Ticketmaster's exclusive deals with the vast majority of venues on the 'Eras' tour required us to ticket through their system," AEG said to CNBC in a statement.
