Representing Singapore at the Expo: DURIAN STAR
Made in China ad campaign has its faults
Electrolist: Underground/overground clash again
Hotelist: Park Hyatt Shanghai
China's most valuable asset of the year?
Emma Ticketmaster - the group that brought us Avril Lavigne, failed to bring us Oasis, and then made up for it with one night with John Legend - is now dead. According to China Music Radar, President & CEO of Emma Entertainment John Krane resigned yesterday with Debbie Shon of Ticketmaster taking his place. From the Ticketmaster press release, it seems like all the big Emma events are still on (Harlem Globetrotters, One Festival), but the demise of yet another promotion company underscores the difficulties of bringing top line acts to China and deserves a moment of silence... Okay. You can go about your day now.
Emma Ticketmaster is no more, Ticketmaster lives on

There is a lot of noise in the live music industry around the world. Here in China we have had a mixed year with artist cancellations as per this article.
I have been following all the latest news with Ticketmaster & Live Nation merger. It seems that Rolling Stone, USA Today, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal
have made comments about all the recent ticketing controversy with Bruce Springsteen in US.
Now I have read that China Government is investigating employee abuse and mistreatment by Ticketmaster China company.
I have also read that a recent touring artist Ennio Morricone is also suing Ticketmaster.
Can Shanghaiist do an article on this?
