Ticketfly
On September 1, 2017, we completed the sale of Ticketfly, our ticketing service segment, to Eventbrite Inc. ("Eventbrite") for an aggregate unadjusted purchase price of $200.0 million. The aggregate unadjusted purchase price consists of $150.0 million in cash and a $50.0 million Convertible Promissory Note, which were paid and issued at the closing of the transaction. The Convertible Promissory Note was recorded at its fair value at the date of sale, which resulted in a discount of $13.8 million. The aggregate purchase price was further reduced by $4.9 million in costs to sell and $8.6 million in working capital adjustments and certain indemnification provisions, for a net purchase price of $172.7 million. Refer to Note 8 "Convertible Promissory Note Receivable" in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details on the Convertible Promissory Note.
In the three months ended June 30, 2017, the assets and liabilities of Ticketfly were classified as held for sale, and we recognized a goodwill impairment charge of $131.7 million. The impairment charge was based on the fair value of the net assets as implied by the estimated purchase price of $184.5 million as of June 30, 2017. We consider the fair value of these net assets to be classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy because Ticketfly is not a publicly traded company. Instead, the fair value was based on other observable inputs, such as the selling price, which represents an exit price. In the three months ended September 30, 2017, we recognized a loss on sale of $9.4 million in the general and administrative line item on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, which was based on an adjusted net purchase price of $172.7 million as of September 1, 2017.
Net cash proceeds from the sale of Ticketfly were $125.2 million and consisted of the cash purchase price of $150.0 million, less cash held for sale of $22.2 million and cash purchase price adjustments of $2.6 million.

Prior to the sale of Ticketfly, we operated in two reportable segments. Subsequent to the sale of Ticketfly, we operate in one reportable segment.

The revenues and expenses of Ticketfly are included in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2017 through the disposition date of September 1, 2017. The following table provides Ticketfly’s loss before benefit from (provision for) income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2017:

The sale of Ticketfly did not represent a strategic shift in our business, and therefore we have not classified the operations of Ticketfly as discontinued operations in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
KXMZ
On August 31, 2017, we completed the sale of KXMZ, an FM radio station based in Rapid City, South Dakota. Net cash proceeds from the sale of KXMZ were $0.2 million. The sale did not result in a material impact to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
