IAC/InterActiveCorp: Ticketmaster Unit Buys Reseller in U.K.

Full Text (80  words)

Adding momentum to its move into the business of reselling concert tickets, IAC/InterActiveCorp's Ticketmaster is expected to announce today that it has acquired United Kingdom-based Get Me In Ltd., according to people familiar with the matter. Terms of the deal weren't available. Ticketmaster earlier this month agreed to pay $265 million for TicketsNow Inc., the No. 2 U.S. ticket-resale site by sales, amid mounting challenges to its longstanding dominance in sales of tickets to major concert, sports and theater events.
