Live Nation to handle ticketing with Roseland Ballroom starting next year

Live Nation is continuing its effort to compete with Ticketmaster by reaching an exclusive agreement with the Roseland Ballroom in New York City. The Roseland Ballroom has been home to several of The Perv’s favorite shows from Foo Fighters to Bloc Party to Everclear and many many more.

Larry Ginsberg, co-owner of Roseland Ballroom had this to say:

“With Live Nation Ticketing, the content and ticketing model has changed – I don’t need multiple partners to fill my venue and handle the ticket transaction with the fan.”
“Live Nation and Roseland are the longest-running rock couple on Broadway so it makes perfect sense to trust them as my ticket company.”

Nathan Hubbard, CEO of Live Nation Ticketing thinks that this deal is an “important strategic addition to our client portfolio. The fact that Larry has chosen us as Roseland Ballroom’s ticketing partner is another huge validation of our unique position as both a ticket service and content provider.”

The Perv only hopes that LiveNation’s new ticketing system will allow us to get frontrow seats to Yanni and Michael Bolton. Then again, those tickets might still be available the night of the show.
