Emma Ticketmaster is no more, Ticketmaster lives on

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.

John Legend playing Shanghai Yunfeng Theater on April 8


With all the buzz about Oasis not coming to Shanghai, we completely missed who actually is: soulful crooner John Legend. Emma Ticketmaster is bringing the Grammy Award winner (and star of many a Gap ad) to Shanghai Yunfeng Theater on April 8, assuming he didn't make any Tibetan independence related remarks too. Tickets are priced between 100 to 1000 RMB and can be bought on the Emma Ticketmaster site.

Those hoping to see a great Wonderwall in China might have to wait past April 5th, now that the Oasis show slated for that date is a no-go. China Music Radar said the concert's organizers, Emma Ticketmaster, confirmed that the Brit-pop duo's debut in China has been postponed indefinitely, though they weren't clear on why. Ticketholders can get get a refund by going to the Emma Ticketmaster site.
