February 13, 2009 by Scott
Motley Crue signed a huge deal with Livenation last week that binds them to three more albums and 3 (or 4) more tours for Livenation Entertainment. The huge deal is rumored to be worth about 100 Million. No word whether the 3 albums will all have to be studio recordings or if there will be another “Best of” or Live album in there somewhere.

Livenation.com A Royal Pain In The A$$
June 21, 2008 by Scott
Have you ever tried finding tickets on Livenation.com? Have you ever tried redeeming a code for tickets you got from a cd purchase like perhaps the ticket code from the new Judas Priest Album? I tried for over an hour last night to find where I can try to enter the code to get my “Free General Admission Ticket” while supplies last of course. I know it’s 3 days after the cd was released and a crapload of people have probably tried. Perhaps if the tickets are gone you would think they would post something on the page about it being over and tickets being gone…there isn’t. Instead I registered for about three things and still couldn’t find where I was supposed to redeem my code. I followed the instructions on the redemption code ticket, but it is very vague.
Idolator.com also ran a story about the BS that Livenation.com puts their loyal subjects to when they buy tickets. More on this story here.
