> The Pandora app is the single most-used mobile app in the world Can this possibly be true? More used than Apple/Google/Spotify music apps maybe, but Facebook? Google search seems hard to believe too? I mean 80m users, "many on their phone" when Facebook have put up 1b users in the same day and I'm pretty sure surpassed 50%+ mobile usage?
People listen to music for hours each day, even while working. They aren't using Facebook like that.
If they can destroy Ticketmaster I'll be happy. Edit: And StubHub for that matter.
I find it amazing that nobody can seem to outcompete Ticketmaster. It can't really take $15 per ticket to serve up 5 webpages. Are the costs of entry really that high? It doesn't seem like selling tickets should be that hard. How can a simple middleman maintain such a massive profit margin for so long?

They are pretty up there, but no, not the top, which is Facebook as you would expect. http://qz.com/481245/these-are-the-25-most-popular-2015-mobi...

They merged with a large owner of venues (LiveNation), so they own the venues as well
Seems odd that ticketmaster would not have have been willing to purchase them for more than that (unless of course ticketfly didn't want to go that route, and was leaving money on the table).
