Los Angeles – Posse.com, an Australia-based service that
lets users operate music and concert ticket stores that earn them commissions,
has raised an undisclosed amount of new funding and relaunched the service,
Music Network reported.
Backers of the company include Artesian Capital; former
Sony Music COO Michael Smellie; Wotif CEO Robbie Cooke; Todd Forest, head of

site, and earn between 50 cents and $10 per ticket sold through their
storefronts.
