Beloved festivals such as Bonnaroo are owned by one of two companies. Livenation, which owns Ticketmaster and does unethical shit to compete with AEG's company AXS for mobile ticketing, and AEG (see forum post about that). I think they partner up as they use each other's ticketing systems.

Snippet from interview with Leslie Heindel of Be New Orleans on Deaf Child: 1. Tell me more!  We speak up for other people – for people who can’t share it as easily. We get access to things that they don’t have access to. For online marketing, I help local businesses (like Treme Coffeehouse and Monkey Monkey Coffee Shop). I like the family involvement kind of vibe for local places. I vet my clients ahead of time because they must also represent what I believe in. For every event we host, we donate $1 per ticket to the Orleans Public Defenders through the  Free Your Art  series. We do not have outside funding and we are bootstrapping all of it. People can also hire me to put up their flyers and posters for events – that facet is called Street Team. https://beneworleans.com/365-new-orleans-deaf-child/
