Just bought tickets for the Joe Perry Project at HOB Chicago and received an e-mail with this included:

So we have Azoff & Co trying to merge with Ticketmaster and now not doing business with Live Nation??? Wasn't tthere an Azoff connection with Live Nation a few years ago?

It's getting tough to keep up so it's a good thing I really don't care, but found it interesting.

I found this out the hard way trying to help my sister use a ticketmaster gift card for what turned out to be a livenation show. I was trying to help her over the phone and she couldn't figure it out and I was getting frustrated with her so I got on my own comp and tried to do what I've done a million times before with gift card entry and it took me like 10 minutes to figure it out.

A big fuckin pain in the ass, to be sure.
