Wantickets, one of North America’s largest primary ticket agencies for nightclub and dance music events, is suing former employees Barak Schurr and Diego Carlin for breach of contract, aiding and abetting breaches of fiduciary duty and ‘tortious interference’ in relation to their recent move to Eventbrite.
Charles Michael and Michael A. Keough of Steptoe & Johnson, representing Wantickets, allege the rival online ticketing platform has “joined forces with two former employees of the plaintiff [Wantickets]” to exploit “the plaintiff’s confidential information for the purpose of redirecting business away from the plaintiff and to Eventbrite”.
