> Until that happens any ticketing disruption is doomed

, in the US.

There's a very similar reason why Spotify started in Sweden, and took years until jumping the pond.

I'm not saying everything is better in Europe, and in fact I've no clue about the ticket sales situation in most European countries. But I am saying that, much as many would like to forget, innovation and market disruption is not a US monopoly.



Oh I assure you Ticketmaster is the 800 lb gorilla in the room in several European countries.
