MAKE IT A BLOCKBUSTER NIGHT!

This is exciting news!

Blockbuster Inc said it has struck a deal to sell tickets for top U.S. concert producer Live Nation, a tie-up that it expects to drive more traffic to its stores and Live Nation hopes will quell consumer ire over rising ticket prices and uneven availability.

The three-year deal, giving retail ticketing privileges and exclusive blocks of tickets to 500 Blockbuster stores starting in January, has been in the works since last spring, Nathan Hubbard, chief executive of Live Nation Ticketing, said on Monday.

Anything to help with the skyrocketing ticket prices! It's insane and these extra charges need to stop! I'll stop by a store if it saves me some $$!

OUR PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED!

Looks like Ticketmaster may have some competition on their hands. Live Nation is getting closer to becoming its own ticketing entity when their contract expires at the end of 08. This would be Ticketmasters first true competitor and Live Nations final phase plotted out when signing those 360 deals with Madonna & Jay-Z.

Maybe now they will do away with some of those FN fees, and I may actually get to see a show for $16 instead of $36. Thank you Jesus!
