I believe the subject of the article is "NFL and online ticket brokers have found a working partnership on the league's Web site" not "TICKETMASTER and online ticket brokers have found a working partnership on the league's Web site".

Great reporting once again TicketNews! Way to be a positive influence on the industry!
