Am I the only one who would expect an "events and festival tech startup" that "... organized unique 'event experiences' featuring superstars such as Justin Bieber" to be capable of being scammy to people? Make its people feel good while they get lied to, slightly more than normal for a company? I think "Fyre festival".

A glassdoor rating means nothing, it's always spammed by marketing and companies can remove whatever they like.

The events space seems to attract a lot of shady business practices. It's not even outright scams like the Fyre Festival, but boring legitimate businesses like Ticketmaster ripping off customers with service fees.
