Website Educates About Ticket Fraud

Sarah Gilbert Skates – 01/05/2007

In response to increased ticket fraud, Ticketmaster has launched a new website where consumers may report incidents of ticket fraud and access information about consumer protection agencies. www.Ticketmaster.com/stopthescammers also offers information and tips about avoiding potential ticket fraud by purchasing tickets only from venue box offices or event-authorized sellers. The new service is an extension of Ticketmaster's ongoing efforts to help protect consumers from ticket scams, fraud, and deception in the secondary ticket market. The company also operates the legitimate TicketExchange resale service on behalf of more than 120 venues and sports teams throughout North America. Originally introduced in 2003 for sports teams’ season ticket holders, TicketExchange was expanded last year to enable venues and event organizers to offer authorized resale to their season subscribers and single event ticket holders.

Shane Allen

Industry veteran Shane Allen joins Capitol Records Nashville as VP Radio Strategies and Field Marketing. Allen will be based in Nashville and report directly to Jimmy Harnen, SVP Promotion.

Before that he held several positions at MCA and Mercury Nashville in the Promotions department. “Our business is changing at both a rapid and constant pace, with all the technologies now available in our industry having a significant and ever-evolving impact,” said Harnen. “With Shane in place we hope to better reach the fans, building on our radio airplay to maximize its value to the listener and to all those who invest in our music.” Allen added, “Capitol Records Nashville has an incredible reputation regarding the quality of their artists, music and staff. I can’t say enough about this amazing opportunity to learn from people like Mike Dungan, Jimmy Harnen, Steve Hodges and the entire Capitol Records Nashville staff.” He also said, “I’m very appreciative for the four great years I’ve had at Universal South and I’ll definitely miss working with all of my friends there, but opportunities like this don’t come along very often.”

Tim McGraw Project Due March 27

Sarah Gilbert Skates – 01/05/2007

Tim McGraw will release his first studio album in almost three years on March 27. Let It Go will be out on Curb Records. There is no word on whether this will be his last project with his longtime label home. McGraw partnered with veteran producer Byron Gallimore to form StyleSonic Records last year and release, along with Curb and Fox 2000, the Flicka soundtrack. The new studio album will be McGraw’s eleventh release, which he co-produced with Gallimore and Darran Smith, and recorded with his touring band, The Dancehall Doctors. Among the album’s thirteen tracks is first single “Last Dollar,” written by Big Kenny, and two songs featuring Faith Hill. In March 2006, Reflected: Greatest Hits V. 2, became McGraw’s ninth consecutive album to debut at No. 1. His previous studio project, 2004’s Live Like You Were Dying, debuted with career-high first week sales of 766,000 units, and to date has sold nearly 4 million copies. Last year McGraw and Hill’s Soul2Soul II tour made history as the highest grossing country tour ever. Tim is also set for upcoming film appearances in The Kingdom with Jamie Foxx and In The Valley of Elah.
