Thank you.
Thanks to the witnesses who are leaving here, and as well to Ms. Tarlton of Ticketmaster for being here.
My question to Ticketmaster is with regard to the resale of tickets and artists' compensation. In 2003 Ticketmaster purchased TicketsNow, and then there was a prohibition on the resale of tickets. However, last year the Ticketmaster parent company, Live Nation, along with Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment, lobbied the Ontario Government to change its policy for resale, which had been in place for 30 years. Since that took place, it has cost consumers millions of dollars.
I'd like to know how much Ticketmaster has profited from this new policy change and how much Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment has profited. Also, to compare, how much have artists profited from this change in policy?
That's what I think I'd like to know to start with, please.
