 Ticketmaster is almost a curse word to concert goers everywhere as it gouges consumers with "service" fees and raises ticket prices in a seemingly never-ending upward spiral.  However, there might be light at the end of this tunnel after Ticketmaster/Live Nation suffered a big loss in an antitrust lawsuit last week in New York.  Posted below is the New York Times podcast about the case that was published Friday.  Ben Sisario, the reporter who covered the six-week trial, breaks it all down in a rather interesting podcast (if you are into that sort of thing).

Something remarkable has happened here in Mississippi. The state that for most of the last century sat at the bottom of nearly every American economic table has, quietly, pulled ahead of the United Kingdom in GDP per capita.
