I worked in the industry for a while and I agree with your points. I would add though that Ticketmaster is incredibly entrenched because Live Nation (parent company) is also a promoter and also owns many venues or has exclusive contracts with venues and they also have contracts with artists specifying that they will tour to venues affiliated with LN. Vertical integration.
