ITEM 2.02. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
On November 9, 2009,
Ticketmaster Entertainment, Inc. (the Company) filed a Current Report on
Form 8-K (the Original Form 8-K) that included a press release
announcing the Companys results for the quarter ended September 30, 2009
(the Release). The Company is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K/A
(this Amended Form 8-K) to correct an error in the Release. The number of tickets sold and the gross
value of tickets sold for each of the three months ended September 30,
2008 and 2009 set forth in the Financial and Operating Metrics Summary table on
the first page of the Release reflect only primary tickets, while the
footnote to those line items indicates they are inclusive of primary and
secondary tickets. The corrected portion of the table, showing number of
tickets sold and gross value of tickets sold, inclusive of primary
and
secondary tickets, is as follows:
