Sorry Andy, meant to say couple of months ago .. (I think it was beginning of December?) So the UK have given the go ahead, and US shareholders approved the two companies' merger, although it still awaits approval by U.S. anti-trust authorities there.

I have no fondness for TM's practices either .. particularly their decision a couple of tours ago to refuse to sell VIP packages for US concerts to non-US residents .. one reason I was glad Meat moved to another ticket provider. However they seem to be the devil we have to deal with

However, Live Nation are hooking up with TM, and I meant I thought it highly unlikely that there wouldn't be fan ticketing offered through the new site, given it's being run by a subsidiary of Live Nation and as far as I can see for artists who are touring the fan pass for pre-sale tickets I referred to is offered.

Meat does have a track record of stepping in on behalf of his fans over ticketing, so I think he'll have arrangements in place and will intervene if they don't work.

Every time I hear the word "Ticketmaster", I hear the Imperial Death March from The Empire Strikes Back in my head

Great to see they are finally doing something with the website!!!

Sarge · 07 Feb 2010, 17:01

Now that the promo for the new album has started, I wonder why there haven't been further changes / updates to the page yet. It's currently nothing but a bridge to Twitter, Facebook, MySpace and a merchandise store. The only place you get up-to-date info from is Twitter / his YT channel.

it's a little bit ... well it isn't what i expect from a website of a musician - just getting a link to youtube and these other sites.

Do you have Ticketmaster auctions as well? That is a MAJOR rip off...total scalping...

I just noticed that Universal's German Meat Loaf page (www.meatloaf.de) is more up-to-date than *.net.

It provides some interesting info regarding the content of the album and the story it tells.

Devil's Son · 24 Feb 2010, 10:01

what a surprise !!!

ChrisBelfast · 25 Feb 2010, 22:59

Meatloaf.net has the Hang Cool Teddy Bear artwork up with "new album coming soon" as well as "new website coming soon"

**RadioMaster** · 25 Feb 2010, 23:01

great, they're right after play.com, amazon, townsend, mlukfc, twitter, facebook and countless press articles lol

dukesofhazard · 25 Feb 2010, 23:08
