Live Nation announces no service fee Wednesday

Live Nation announced that on Wednesday, August 5th, it will expand its "No Service Fee" program to include more than 1,500 shows in its theaters and clubs, including a number of shows at Vancouver's Commodore Ballroom.

The promotion will kick off at 12:01 a.m. local time on August 5, 2009 and run for 24 hours only at www.livenation.com.

"As we near the end of a very successful summer season we want to bring the same value to music fans who enjoy shows at House of Blues and other theaters and clubs across North America. This Wednesday hundreds of thousands of additional tickets will be available with no service fee, making it easier for even more fans to discover and connect with the amazing artists playing in these smaller venues today, some of whom will be headlining amphitheaters and arenas tomorrow," said Michael Rapino, President and Chief Executive Officer of Live Nation.
