Just wondering why the tickets purchased at the venue say Ticketmaster on them? I'm not seeing the connection. I was in LA, I didn't hear of online sales or promotions, I made it to the venue anyway and purchased a ticket practically at the door.

If Ticketmaster is the company that the venue uses for their ticketing, their equipment and ticket stock will all be from Ticketmaster and will be branded accordingly.

The link to the tickets on the 3rdeyegirl twitter went to Ticketmaster. Which I thought was weird because Prince had spoken negatively about Ticketmaster on Lopez Tonight.
