According to BILLBOARD, in 2017, BOB ROUX and VAUGHN MILLETT conspired to put 88, 000 METALLICA tickets directly on STUBHUB for inflated prices. 




 VAUGHN MILLETT, now a CEO for OUTBACK PRESENTS, secretly recorded the phone conversation with BOB ROUX and sent in LIVE NATION board members.








VAUGHN MILLETT, had been employed by TONY DICIOCCIO, a ticketing consultant for San Francisco, Bay Area, California, U.S.A. based thrash, hard rock legends METALLICA.


TONY DICIOCCIO has worked in the past for Q PRIME ENTERTAINMENT and is business associate for METALLICA.


The report says METALLICA got 40% of re-sell revenue, LIVE NATION 40%, DICIOCCIO 12% and MILLETT 8%.

LIVE NATION has stated they never put tickets of the re-sell market with an artists approval.
