Inside the Ticketmaster & Live Nation Controversy
“Drake announced this week that he will be embarking on a US tour with 21 Savage. With ‘It’s All A Blur’ tickets landing online, heated debates over the role of Ticketmaster and Live Nation Entertainment in the sale and subsequent resale of concert tickets have once again come under the spotlight – but what is it all about?”
