"two local music stores."

That's about half as many as are in my city now in total, and it's a major metropolitan area. They're able to sell tickets to shows only where there isn't a preexisting deal with TM, and only because they cut deals directly with local venues.

Ticketmaster has deals that are already semimonopolistic both vertically and horizontally. How do you compete with that at scale?
