Yes, but, IMHO the real reason Ticketmaster got hacked off enough to take
tickets.com to court was because TM's success is based upon the maintenance
of a quasi-monopolistic situation: there are few ticketing systems
available on the market and TM make their money from selling software
licenses to venues and ticket agents alike, as well as charging a
transaction fee on any bookings made through TM's call centre.
