Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND OTHER INFORMATION | BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND OTHER INFORMATION Preparation of Interim Financial Statements The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X issued by the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, they include all normal and recurring accruals and adjustments necessary to present fairly the results of the interim periods shown. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 25, 2016 , as amended by the Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on June 29, 2016. Seasonality Due to the seasonal nature of shows at outdoor amphitheaters and festivals, which primarily occur from May through October, the Concerts and Sponsorship & Advertising segments experience higher revenue during the second and third quarters. The Artist Nation segment’s revenue is impacted, to a large degree, by the touring schedules of artists it represents and generally experiences higher revenue during the second and third quarters as the period from May through October tends to be a popular time for touring events. The Ticketing segment’s revenue is impacted by fluctuations in the availability of events for sale to the public, which vary depending upon scheduling by its clients. The Company’s seasonality also results in higher balances in cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accrued expenses and deferred revenue at different times in the year. Therefore, the results to date are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year. Cash and Cash Equivalents Included in the June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 cash and cash equivalents balance is $605.7 million and $549.0 million , respectively, of cash received that includes the face value of tickets sold on behalf of ticketing clients and their share of service charges, which amounts are to be remitted to the clients. Acquisitions During the first six months of 2016 , the Company completed several acquisitions that were accounted for as business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting and were not significant either on an individual basis or in the aggregate. Income Taxes Each reporting period, the Company evaluates the realizability of all of its deferred tax assets in each tax jurisdiction. As of June 30, 2016 , the Company continued to maintain a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets in certain jurisdictions due to sustained pre-tax losses. As a result of the valuation allowances, no tax benefits have been recognized for losses incurred in those tax jurisdictions for the first six months of 2016 and 2015 . Reclassifications The Company has reclassified $5.3 million of payments for employee taxes, where shares were withheld upon the vesting or exercise of equity awards in order to satisfy the withholding obligation, from operating activities to financing activities within the consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2015 . This reclassification was made in connection with the modified retrospective application of new accounting guidance for employee share-based payment transactions as discussed below. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted Pronouncements In April 2015, the FASB amended its guidance on internal-use software providing clarification to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, then the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. The Company adopted this guidance prospectively on January 1, 2016 and it did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. In March 2016, the FASB issued guidance that simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for forfeitures, employer tax withholding on share-based compensation and the financial statement presentation of excess tax benefits or deficiencies, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2016 using a modified retrospective transition method with a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings for the changes to the accounting for forfeitures and excess tax benefits or deficiencies. Upon adoption of this guidance, the Company no longer estimates forfeitures in advance and now recognizes forfeitures as they occur and has reflected a cumulative effect adjustment to accumulated deficit in the consolidated balance sheets of $ 1.3 million . Recently Issued Pronouncements In May 2014, the FASB issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard that will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP. The new standard provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle of the guidance is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The FASB continues to issue guidance clarifying certain guidelines of the standard including reframing the indicators in the principal versus agent guidance to focus on evidence that a company is acting as a principal rather than agent. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within that year. Early adoption of the standard is only permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within that year. The guidance should be applied retrospectively, either to each prior period presented in the financial statements, or only to the most current reporting period presented in the financial statements with a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company will adopt this standard on January 1, 2018, and is currently assessing which implementation method it will apply and the impact that adoption will have on its financial position and results of operations. In January 2016, the FASB issued amendments for the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. Among other things, the guidance requires equity investments that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method to be measured at fair value with any change in fair value recognized in net income unless the investments do not have readily determinable fair values. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within that year. Early adoption is not permitted for most of the amendments. The amendments are to be applied through a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption with the exception of equity investments without readily determinable fair values, which will be applied prospectively. The Company will adopt this standard on January 1, 2018, and currently expects that adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations. In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance that requires lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheet as a lease liability and a right-of-use asset, and to disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within that year, and early adoption is permitted. The guidance should be applied on a modified retrospective basis. The Company expects to adopt this standard on January 1, 2019, and is currently evaluating the impact that the standard will have on its financial position and results of operations. In March 2016, the FASB issued guidance clarifying that the assessment of whether an embedded contingent put or call option is clearly and closely related to the debt instrument only requires an analysis pursuant to the four-step decision sequence outlined in the guidance for embedded derivatives. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within that year. The guidance should be applied to existing debt instruments using a modified retrospective method as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The Company will adopt this standard on January 1, 2017, and currently expects that adoption of this guidance will not impact its financial position or results of operations. |

LONG-LIVED ASSETS [Abstract] | |
LONG-LIVED ASSETS | LONG-LIVED ASSETS Definite-lived Intangible Assets The Company has definite-lived intangible assets which are amortized over the shorter of either the lives of the respective agreements or the period of time the assets are expected to contribute to the Company’s future cash flows. The amortization is recognized on either a straight-line or expected cash flows basis. The following table presents the changes in the gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization of definite-lived intangible assets for the six months ended June 30, 2016 : Revenue- generating contracts Client / vendor relationships Trademarks and naming rights Non-compete agreements Venue management and leaseholds Technology Other Total (in thousands) Balance as of December 31, 2015: Gross carrying amount $ 700,795 $ 379,282 $ 86,556 $ 176,354 $ 66,051 $ 30,265 $ 3,598 $ 1,442,901 Accumulated amortization (313,743 ) (169,620 ) (14,578 ) (121,319 ) (35,645 ) (8,602 ) (1,631 ) (665,138 ) Net 387,052 209,662 71,978 55,035 30,406 21,663 1,967 777,763 Gross carrying amount: Acquisitions— current year 46,541 55,910 259 — — 8,604 — 111,314 Acquisitions— prior year 11,404 782 3,620 1,500 1,174 — 154 18,634 Dispositions — (2,299 ) — — (1,093 ) — — (3,392 ) Foreign exchange (9,923 ) (900 ) (387 ) (2,264 ) (1,697 ) (96 ) — (15,267 ) Other (1) (1,919 ) (2,307 ) (5 ) — — — (1 ) (4,232 ) Net change 46,103 51,186 3,487 (764 ) (1,616 ) 8,508 153 107,057 Accumulated amortization: Amortization (33,092 ) (31,098 ) (4,931 ) (10,554 ) (2,676 ) (2,616 ) (198 ) (85,165 ) Dispositions — 599 — — — — — 599 Foreign exchange 4,034 282 180 618 713 176 8 6,011 Other (1) 1,854 2,307 — — — — (8 ) 4,153 Net change (27,204 ) (27,910 ) (4,751 ) (9,936 ) (1,963 ) (2,440 ) (198 ) (74,402 ) Balance as of June 30, 2016: Gross carrying amount 746,898 430,468 90,043 175,590 64,435 38,773 3,751 1,549,958 Accumulated amortization (340,947 ) (197,530 ) (19,329 ) (131,255 ) (37,608 ) (11,042 ) (1,829 ) (739,540 ) Net $ 405,951 $ 232,938 $ 70,714 $ 44,335 $ 26,827 $ 27,731 $ 1,922 $ 810,418 ______________ (1) Other includes netdowns of fully amortized or impaired assets. Included in the current year acquisitions amounts above are definitive-lived intangible assets primarily associated with the acquisition of a controlling interest in an artist management business with locations in the United States and Canada and controlling interests in festival and concert promoters located in the United Kingdom and the United States. Included in the prior year acquisitions amounts above are definitive-lived intangible assets primarily associated with the acquisition of a controlling interest in a festival promoter located in the United States. The 2016 additions to definite-lived intangible assets from acquisitions have weighted-average lives as follows: Weighted- Average Life (years) Revenue-generating contracts 7 Client/vendor relationships 5 Trademarks and naming rights 5 Technology 5 All categories 6 Amortization of definite-lived intangible assets for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was $45.4 million and $43.5 million , respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was $85.2 million and $76.1 million , respectively. Amortization related to nonrecoupable ticketing contract advances for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was $15.0 million and $13.2 million , respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was $36.5 million and $32.8 million , respectively. The following table presents the Company’s estimate of amortization expense for each of the five succeeding fiscal years for definite-lived intangible assets that exist at June 30, 2016: (in thousands) July 1 - December 31, 2016 $ 95,596 2017 $ 164,773 2018 $ 142,238 2019 $ 118,143 2020 $ 102,921 As acquisitions and dispositions occur in the future and the valuations of intangible assets for recent acquisitions are completed, amortization may vary. Therefore, the expense to date is not necessarily indicative of the expense expected for the full year. Goodwill The following table presents the changes in the carrying amount of goodwill in each of the Company’s reportable segments for the six months ended June 30, 2016 : Concerts Sponsorship & Advertising Ticketing Artist Nation Total (in thousands) Balance as of December 31, 2015: Goodwill $ 602,771 $ 332,081 $ 733,825 $ 340,501 $ 2,009,178 Accumulated impairment losses (386,915 ) — — (17,948 ) (404,863 ) Net 215,856 332,081 733,825 322,553 1,604,315 Acquisitions—current year 30,990 25,855 3,638 17,873 78,356 Acquisitions—prior year (19,171 ) 18,581 — 449 (141 ) Dispositions — — — (323 ) (323 ) Foreign exchange (15,542 ) 3,145 1,232 (366 ) (11,531 ) Balance as of June 30, 2016: Goodwill 599,048 379,662 738,695 358,134 2,075,539 Accumulated impairment losses (386,915 ) — — (17,948 ) (404,863 ) Net $ 212,133 $ 379,662 $ 738,695 $ 340,186 $ 1,670,676 Included in the current year acquisitions amounts above is goodwill primarily associated with the acquisition of controlling interests in festival and concert promoters located in the United Kingdom and the United States, an artist management business with locations in the United States and Canada and a digital content company located in the United States. Included in the prior year acquisitions amounts above are net reductions in goodwill resulting from changes in purchase price allocations of prior year acquisitions primarily related to the acquisition of a controlling interest in a festival promoter located in the United States and a venue management business in New Zealand. The Company is in various stages of finalizing its acquisition accounting for recent acquisitions, which include the use of external valuation consultants, and the completion of this accounting could result in a change to the associated purchase price allocations, including goodwill and its allocation between segments. Investments in Nonconsolidated Affiliates The Company has investments in various affiliates that are not consolidated and are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The Company records its investments in these entities on the balance sheets as investments in nonconsolidated affiliates reported as part of other long-term assets.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS The Company’s outstanding debt held by third-party financial institutions is carried at cost, adjusted for any premium, discounts or debt issuance costs. The Company’s debt is not publicly traded and the carrying amounts typically approximate fair value for debt that accrues interest at a variable rate, which are considered to be Level 2 inputs as defined in the FASB guidance. The estimated fair values of the Company’s 7% senior notes, 5.375% senior notes and 2.5% convertible senior notes were $443.1 million , $253.8 million and $285.3 million , respectively, at June 30, 2016 . The estimated fair values of the 7% senior notes, 5.375% senior notes and 2.5% convertible senior notes were $443.1 million , $249.4 million and $280.2 million , respectively, at December 31, 2015 . The estimated fair value of the Company’s third-party fixed-rate debt is based on quoted market prices in active markets for the same or similar debt, which are considered to be Level 2 inputs. The Company had fixed-rate debt held by noncontrolling interest partners with a face value of $36.3 million and $32.9 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , respectively. The Company is unable to determine the fair value of this debt. |

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES Ticketing Fees Consumer Class Action Litigation On March 18, 2016, all appeals relating to a settlement agreement reached by the plaintiffs and Ticketmaster in respect of a ticketing fees consumer class action litigation matter originally filed in October 2003 against Ticketmaster were dismissed, thus resolving this matter and allowing the implementation of the terms of the settlement. On March 30, 2016, the Company funded a portion of the settlement primarily related to the plaintiffs’ attorney fees. Ticketmaster and its parent, Live Nation, have not acknowledged any violations of law or liability in connection with the matter. As of June 30, 2016 , the Company had accrued $16.6 million , its best estimate of the probable remaining costs associated with the settlement referred to above, which was recorded in prior years. The calculation of this liability is based in part upon an estimated redemption rate. Any difference between the Company’s estimated redemption rate and the actual redemption rate it experiences will impact the final settlement amount; however, the Company does not expect this difference to be material. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Reclassification | Reclassifications The Company has reclassified $5.3 million of payments for employee taxes, where shares were withheld upon the vesting or exercise of equity awards in order to satisfy the withholding obligation, from operating activities to financing activities within the consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2015 . This reclassification was made in connection with the modified retrospective application of new accounting guidance for employee share-based payment transactions as discussed below. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted Pronouncements In April 2015, the FASB amended its guidance on internal-use software providing clarification to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, then the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. The Company adopted this guidance prospectively on January 1, 2016 and it did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. In March 2016, the FASB issued guidance that simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for forfeitures, employer tax withholding on share-based compensation and the financial statement presentation of excess tax benefits or deficiencies, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2016 using a modified retrospective transition method with a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings for the changes to the accounting for forfeitures and excess tax benefits or deficiencies. Upon adoption of this guidance, the Company no longer estimates forfeitures in advance and now recognizes forfeitures as they occur and has reflected a cumulative effect adjustment to accumulated deficit in the consolidated balance sheets of $ 1.3 million . Recently Issued Pronouncements In May 2014, the FASB issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard that will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP. The new standard provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle of the guidance is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The FASB continues to issue guidance clarifying certain guidelines of the standard including reframing the indicators in the principal versus agent guidance to focus on evidence that a company is acting as a principal rather than agent. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within that year. Early adoption of the standard is only permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within that year. The guidance should be applied retrospectively, either to each prior period presented in the financial statements, or only to the most current reporting period presented in the financial statements with a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company will adopt this standard on January 1, 2018, and is currently assessing which implementation method it will apply and the impact that adoption will have on its financial position and results of operations. In January 2016, the FASB issued amendments for the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. Among other things, the guidance requires equity investments that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method to be measured at fair value with any change in fair value recognized in net income unless the investments do not have readily determinable fair values. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within that year. Early adoption is not permitted for most of the amendments. The amendments are to be applied through a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption with the exception of equity investments without readily determinable fair values, which will be applied prospectively. The Company will adopt this standard on January 1, 2018, and currently expects that adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations. In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance that requires lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheet as a lease liability and a right-of-use asset, and to disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within that year, and early adoption is permitted. The guidance should be applied on a modified retrospective basis. The Company expects to adopt this standard on January 1, 2019, and is currently evaluating the impact that the standard will have on its financial position and results of operations. In March 2016, the FASB issued guidance clarifying that the assessment of whether an embedded contingent put or call option is clearly and closely related to the debt instrument only requires an analysis pursuant to the four-step decision sequence outlined in the guidance for embedded derivatives. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within that year. The guidance should be applied to existing debt instruments using a modified retrospective method as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The Company will adopt this standard on January 1, 2017, and currently expects that adoption of this guidance will not impact its financial position or results of operations. |
