MARKETPLACE ROUND-UP

          In DC, Eric Fisher reported that Ticketmaster and
     Tickets.com are developing a system that would send out an
     e-mail "every day with a list of discounted tickets" to
     nearly every pro sports event, both locally and nationally,
     similar to e-savers.  DC-area Ticketmaster President Paul
     Deustachio, on the system: "This shifts some risk from the
     promoter or the owner to the consumer. ... Does the consumer
     now pay full price and have the security of having the seat
     in a location they picked?  Or do they wait and maybe get
     the lower price but risk a worse seat or not even going at
     all?" (WASHINGTON TIMES, 2/20)....BRANDWEEK's Terry Lefton
     reported that Reebok has signed Titans DE Jevon Kearse to an
     endorsement deal (BRANDWEEK, 2/21)....After Jim Shea's
     victory Sunday in skeleton competition at the Winter
     Goodwill Games, he "found out" that Internet companies
     Ultimate Bid and MilestonesNetwork.com "signed on" as team
     sponsors.  For more, see (#26) (USA TODAY, 2/22).
