Live Nation-owned Ticketmaster has launched in Uruguay and agreed to acquire local ticketing platform RED UTS. The acquisition folds RED UTS, which Ticketmaster describes as one of Uruguay‘s leading ticketing platforms, into a network the company says spans more than 35 markets. The move extends a run of Latin American deals by Live Nation, Ticketmaster‘s parent, which has spent the past year buying arenas and concert promoters across the region. Before the launch, Live Nation had already expanded through promoter and venue deals in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Peru. Neither Ticketmaster nor Live Nation disclosed the value of the RED UTS acquisition.Music Business Worldwide
