Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment is teaming with Live Nation Entertainment Inc. in a deal that will see it manage sponsorships and ticket sales for the American concert promoter in Toronto.
The Toronto Maple Leafs owner will sell and handle event sponsorships for Live Nation as well as ticket sales for the Live Nation-owned Molson Canadian Amphitheatre in Toronto. Live Nation merged with event ticket seller Ticketmaster last year.
Financial details of the agreement were not disclosed, but Live Nation will help privately owned MLSE if it chooses to proceed with preliminary plans to open a House of Blues club in downtown Toronto.
In a statement, Live Nation president and CEO Michael Rapino said Toronto is the third highest grossing event market in North America.
Both Live Nation and MLSE will continue to be free to mint deals with independent concert or event promoters at their venues.

Montreal firefighters rescued several works of art Sunday evening after a fire erupted in a downtown art gallery.
The Jean-Pierre Valentin gallery houses works by such artists as Jean-Paul Riopelle, Paul-Émile Borduas, Marc-Aurèle Fortin and Jean-Paul Lemieux.
More than 120 firefighters battled the fire in the three-storey building at the corner of Sherbrooke St. W. and MacKay St. Some paintings were damaged, but firefighters were able to rescue others and prevent several million dollars in damage.
