ITEM 1.     SECURITY AND ISSUER

            This constitutes Amendment No. 3 (this "Amendment") to the Statement
on Schedule 13D (the "Statement"), dated December 2, 1999, as amended by
Amendment No. 1, dated June 26, 2000, and Amendment No. 2, dated October 23,
2000, with respect to shares of Ticketmaster Online-Citysearch ("TMCS") Class B
common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Class B Common Stock"). All
capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings
assigned to these terms in the Statement. The principal executive offices of
TMCS are located at 790 E. Colorado Boulevard, Suite 200, Pasadena, California
91101.


ITEM 4.     PURPOSE OF THE TRANSACTIONS

            The information contained in Item 4 of the Statement is hereby
amended and supplemented by adding the following information:

            On November 21, 2000, USA Networks, Inc. ("USAi") and TMCS issued a
joint press release announcing that USAi and TMCS had entered into a definitive
Contribution Agreement, dated as of November 20, 2000 (the "Contribution
Agreement"), pursuant to which USAi would contribute business and operations of
Ticketmaster Corporation ("Ticketmaster") to TMCS in exchange for the issuance
by TMCS to USAi of 52 million shares of TMCS Class B Common Stock in addition to
the shares of TMCS stock that USAi currently beneficially owns. A copy of the
press release is attached as an exhibit hereto and incorporated herein by
reference.


ITEM 5.     INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

            The first paragraph of Item 5 of the Statement is hereby amended and
restated in its entirety as follows:

            As of November 17, 2000, each of USAi and Ticketmaster may be deemed
to be a beneficial owner of 43,782,544 shares of the Class B Common Stock, all
of which are held of record by Ticketmaster. 42,480,143 of such shares are
shares of Class A Common Stock, which, at the option of the holder, may be
converted on a one-for-one basis into shares of Class B Common Stock. 1,302,401
of such shares are shares of Class B Common Stock. Assuming conversion of the
shares of Class A Common Stock owned by the Reporting Persons into shares of
Class B Common Stock, each of USAi and Ticketmaster may be deemed to
beneficially own 52.6% of the Class B Common Stock. Because each share of Class
A Common Stock generally is entitled to fifteen votes per share and each share
of Class B Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share, each of USAi and
Ticketmaster may be deemed to beneficially own equity securities of TMCS
representing approximately 84.0% of the voting power of TMCS based upon
47,931,654 shares of Class A Common Stock and 40,754,498 shares of Class B
Common Stock outstanding as of November 17, 2000.


ITEM 6.     CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDING OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT
            TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

            The information contained in Item 6 of the Statement is hereby
amended by

                                   Page 4 of 7

hereby incorporated by reference herein.
