This is really shady if true, and the allegations are pretty specific. SongKick does something valuable for artists --- namely make sure a decent % of concert attendees are actually fans. My wife and I saw Adele last year in LA via her fan club pre-sale on SongKick.

Right when TicketMaster is apparently stealing from SongKick, they are also pushing to have fan club / fan engagement startups use their new API Platform. Why should any startup trust TM's API platform with their data after this?
