Excerpt:

Concert and sports fans have long bridled at Ticketmaster's lock on the market with its fee-laden approach in a day and age when issuing a ticket can cost a concert attendee dearly. Though concert attendance and earnings are up, Ticketmaster may be facing a formidable rival in the second-largest concert company, AEG. As of Tuesday, Ticketmaster no longer has a grip on Minneapolis' major events venue Target Center, home of the NBA Timberwolves and WNBA Lynx. AEG, a subsidiary of Anschutz Company in Denver, announced on Monday that it will be replacing Ticketmaster as the ticketing agency of the Target Center. AEG calls itself the nation's second-largest concert promotion and touring company and part owner of the Staples Center in Los Angeles, home of the NBA's Lakers and Clippers, WNBA's Sparks and NHL's Kings.

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
