These people are really easy to beat. Simply contact the Better Business Bureau in the area in which the bill is coming from. The BBB will bring fire on them. I've had an awesome experience when dealing with clowns that pull crap like this.
You can file this online. Simply copy/paste your statement as you have it to the BBB's website and they will fix this. I guarantee it...
Good luck.

This describes my situation exactly. I bought tickets from LiveNation almost a year ago and I have been getting Rolling Stone magazine ever since, which was really just a joke among my friends because I am the last person who would ever read RS. Anyway, I recently got an email telling me that I need to pay to renew my subscription. I was extremely confused further considering the website I was linked to said that I would automatically be renewed and a bill would be sent if they didn't have a credit card on file. Well, of course I set about to unsubscribe, but RS has NO way to unsubscribe from their magazine online (you have to write to them, apparently, which only makes this worse). I incredibly resent LiveNation for basically scamming their consumers, especially when they are the only way to buy tickets for most concerts nowadays. I did not realize this is what happened to me until I came across this post, so thank you so much for alerting me to the problem. With nothing else, at least I know how I got this subscription in the first place.
I too would be more than willing to see prosecution happen against LiveNation (and whoever else is responsible). I should have my online confirmation from the ticket purchase as well as a credit card statement showing the charge, but that's about it, if it helps. I too was charged $12.95 (according to Rolling Stone) for this subscription and I never remember reading anything about it anywhere on LiveNation's site, and I'm pretty thorough when it comes to online purchasing.
Thank you for your attention, and I hope more people respond, because it can't just be us.
