- From profit to three straight losses. Live Nation lost money every year from 2013 to 2015: $0.2 billion in all. 2016 was its first profit in four years: $0 billion.
- It outgrew its own economy many times over. Revenue rose from $7.8 billion in 2016 to $25.2 billion in 2025: 3.2 times as much. The US economy, counted the same way in money terms, grew about 60%. Whatever drove it, the economy around it does not account for growth of that size.
- Two decisions on record. Stratrix has verified two of Live Nation's big decisions, each with what happened next.
