Ticketmasters: The Rise of the Concert Industry and How the Public Got Scalped - Dean Budnick PhD (Author), Josh Baron (Author)

Ticket Masters

The level of detail in this book astounded me, and reads as a business school case study of the (primarily) concert ticket business industry.  A must read for those those that are curious about service charges, convenience charges, VIP seating, etc.  I would like quote a blurb from the back cover that summarizse my thoughts more succinctly that I could muster:

"For anyone who's ever suffered rock concert sticker shock - and we all have - Ticket Masters is the best seat seat in the house to the show behind the show" - Fred Goodman , author of Fortune's Fool and The The Mansion on the Hill
