Emma -> Ticketmaster China -> Dust

China Music Radar covers the rise and fall of Ticketmaster China and its ambitious founder, Jon Krane:

...an apt metaphor for Ticketmaster China. A company run into the ground by those that created it (an unnamed Ticketmaster source claims that during an internal meeting it was said that Krane lost the Ticketmaster inc. “enough money to keep all its employees comfortably for the rest of their collective lives”). Krane put China on the touring map, but in such a way that will take it years to recover from. He was audacious and brave, but should possibly have taken more from the playbook that discretion is the better part of valor.
