Explanation of Responses:
* On May 20, 1997, Paul G. Allen entered into a Stock Exchange Agreement with
HSN, Inc. (the "Stock Exchange Agreement") pursuant to which HSN, Inc. agreed,
among other things, to acquire from Mr. Allen 12,283,014 shares of common
stock, no par value, of Ticketmaster Group, Inc. ("Ticketmaster Stock") in
exchange for 7,238,507 shares of common stock, $.01 per value, of HSN, Inc.
("HSNi Common Stock"), subject to the possible issuance to Mr. Allen of up to
3,257,328 additional shares of HSNi Common Stock in August 1998 if the average
market price of the HSNi Common Stock over certain periods prior to such time
is below $29 per share. Upon the consummation of the first closing on July 17,
1997, Mr. Allen ceased to own any shares of Ticketmaster Stock. To facilitate
an orderly transition, Mr. Allen agreed to continue to serve as Chairman of
Ticketmaster Group, Inc. for a period not to exceed six months following the
first closing.
