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.
