"Live Nation will use its most important asset, the concert ticket, to build artist careers and customer relationships, forge innovative sponsorship deals, create a fan and artist friendly secondary ticketing platform and provide a ticketing alternative for third-party venues. We believe that our partnership with Eventim will allow us to execute on this transformational vision."
CTS Eventim Chief Executive Officer Klaus-Peter Schulenberg added, "Eventim is at the forefront of ticketing innovation across Europe, and we share Live Nation's passion for enhancing the fan ticketing experience. We will provide the infrastructure and technology required to reshape how Live Nation consumers access ticket inventory and enable ancillary revenue opportunities, while vastly improving the overall fan ticketing experience."
In other words: we will rape and pillage you for fun and profit.
