  1. Joe Freeman • Ticketmaster Entertainment • Senior Vice President

  2. More than 200,000 fans have successfully used Paperless Ticketing since launching in May 2008 Metallica AC/DC Tom Waits

  3. Enable artists to better control the relationship w/ their fans • Enable artists to deliver moderate/reasonable prices directly to their fans (even if below "market" value) • "Scalping is a really important issue to Miley, but really the focus is about giving the regular fan an opportunity to buy a really good ticket at face value."  Jason Morey (Cyrus' manager) • "This is what on-sales used to look like before brokers got into our business ... [t]he good news is the best tickets in all of these venues are in the hands of the public."  Debra Rathwell, AEG Live (Cyrus tour promoter)
