I once talked to a TicketMaster recruiter at a job fair. When he realized I was getting a little bored, he told me that besides the positions they were advertising, they also needed somebody who could help them speed up their main database system, which, if I recall correctly, was written in MACRO-32 and ran on a VAX until they moved it to Linux boxen running a proprietary emulator. If you search around the web for "ticketmaster vax" you can maybe find out how far they have gotten with their project to scrap the VAXen.
