Connecting Success Factors to Bennett

The Dubious Phone Call and Time Wasting Project

The folks at TPG will have to answer to my Whistleblower Complaints on the truly odd collection of RFPs emanating from companies connected to Richard Blum, William McGlashan, CBRE, Regency Centers, Trammel Crow, Lennar, Catellus.

My story is about witness murders, private equity, mergers and acquisitions linked back to the Matter of Bennett v. Southern Pacific lost in 1989.  It was a winnable case as long the witnesses testified.

Private-Equity Firms TPG and Rockbridge Are Exploring a Sale of Ticketing Company AXS

Private-equity firms TPG and Rockbridge Growth Equity are exploring strategic options for their stake in ticketing company AXS, including a possible sale, people familiar with the matter said.

The firms, which together hold 62% of the company, could seek a sale valuing AXS at $250 million, according to the people. Sports and entertainment company Anschutz Entertainment Group, which holds the remaining 38% in the ticketing company and operates it, said it isn’t interested in selling its stake. AEG is contractually guaranteed to be the operating partner of the company.

AEG hasn’t discussed buying out the private-equity partners, according to one of the people.

Rockbridge was founded by Dan Gilbert, co-owner of the National Basketball Association’s Cleveland Cavaliers, which uses AXS as a ticketing provider.

There is no guarantee there will be a deal, these people said.

Closely held AEG, controlled by billionaire Philip Anschutz, owns and operates venues including Staples Center in Los Angeles, New York’s PlayStation Theater, Target Center in Minneapolis and Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo., and owns or co-owns sports teams including the National Hockey League’s Los Angeles Kings and Major League Soccer’s Los Angeles Galaxy. The company is also the nation’s second-largest concert promoter and stages the influential Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.

AXS is much smaller than Ticketmaster, the industry leader owned by Live Nation Entertainment Inc.

ly bidders that could serve as strategic partners and would work in cooperation with AEG are being considered, the people said.

Veteran ticketing companies like Ticketmaster and AXS have been working to shore up their technology as newer, more tech-savvy and mobile-friendly competitors emerge. Adding to their challenges, the industry is moving toward a confluence of the primary and secondary markets—when tickets are sold the first time at face value versus when they are resold by a broker or fan, often at a markup.

AEG last week said it wouldn’t renew its contract with eBay Inc.’s StubHub and would instead turn to AXS as its preferred resale site in a move that roles the ticketing company’s digital-ticket technology to 30 of AEG’s venues and sports franchises in the U.S.
