Ticketmaster parent Live Nation Entertainment on Thursday reported fourth-quarter sales that topped Wall Street’s expectations, helped by bigger shows, international expansion and more upsells at concerts, although it closed out the full year with a slightly bigger-than-expected loss.

Shares were up more than 2% after hours.
