TICKET TO RIDE, UPDATE: You'll recall that The Wall Street Journal reported on 8/12 that Ticketmaster President Nathan Hubbard would be exiting, as Live Nation CEO Michael Rapino continued to reshape the company. A dispatch from LN notes that Hubbard will remain a consultant for the rest of 2013, and that leadership of the ticketing division will be shouldered by Mark Yovich (President of Ticketmaster International) and Jared Smith (President North America); both will report directly to Rapino. Hubbard has presided over LN's ticketing division since 2010; the Journal notes that Smith has overseen day-to-day operations for the last few months. (8/16p)
