AEG helps friends

CMU Daily reports that AEG's own ticketing enterprise, AXS, is launching a new service called AXS Invite, which will enable customers booking tickets at venues with allocated seating to reserve seats next to the ones they book, and to then promote those reservations to friends via Facebook and/or email, Initially available at certain specific US venues owned by AEG itself, it's the latest initiative by the live music giant to compete in the ticketing market, which it entered after its rival Live Nation bought Ticketmaster.
