West Hollywood, Calif. - IAC's (NASD: IACI) Ticketmaster announced on Wednesday that it has expanded its relationship with Apple's (NASD: AAPL) iTunes Store, and will begin integrating digital album sales alongside concert ticket sales on Ticketmaster.com.

At launch, more than 700 acts who sell tickets through Ticketmaster are participating in the service.

Through the end of the year, the companies will offer ticket purchasers a dollar off every digital album sold on Ticketmaster.com through the iTunes Store.

"The ability to connect live and recorded music, concert tickets and album sales is the future of the music business," said David Marcus, SVP of music at Ticketmaster.

The companies have also teamed to offer Ticketmaster + iTunes gift card packs at Target retail stores; the $50 package includes two $25 cards redeemable at Ticketmaster.com and the iTunes Store, respectively.
