From the Washington Biz Journal:
Blockbuster Inc. will serve as the physical retail outlet for Live Nation's new ticketing company, under a three-year deal announced Tuesday.
Live Nation tickets will be sold through 500 company-owned Blockbuster (NYSE: BBI) stores in markets that mirror the footprint of Live Nation's venues, according to a release from Live Nation.
The deal will see exclusive groups of tickets that will only be sold at the Blockbuster stores during the first four hours of a particular event sale
I think the interesting part is that a block of tickets will only be available at the Blockbuster stores, maybe making it a little easier for locals to get tix.
