But they are. TM/Livenation don't just do concert tickets. They do all types of events, festivals, etc. I've seen tickets for golf events, dinner events, etc on livenation.

Not only this, but TM/LN actually own a ton of venues. They seem to grow in size monthly.

Here is the latest: http://blog.livenationentertainment.com/blog/Blog-Details/20...

There really is a monopoly on the market.

"SeatGeek helps people find and buy tickets to sporting events, concerts, Broadway shows, nightclubs and a range of other live entertainment through its mobile app or website." This is targeting TM/LN market for sure.

They don't have the connections that TM/LN have that allow them to gobble up a venue/festival monthly.

Those are some hard stats to follow.

Despite all of this, I'd love to see SeatGeek succeed. Hopefully some of this funding will help them.
