SeatGeek Sues ScoreBig In New York Supreme Court For At Least $2M

SeatGeek has filed a lawsuit against embattled ticket outlet ScoreBig in New York State Supreme Court, seeking compensatory damages of at least $2M. SeatGeek in its summons alleges ScoreBig “improperly failed to pay brokers for tickets for future listing on SeatGeek’s platform. As a result of ScoreBig’s actions, brokers have and will continue to fail to fulfill orders for tickets, to the detriment of users on SeatGeek’s platform.” The lawsuit also takes aim at ScoreBig CEO David Goldberg and Senior Finance Manager Tyler Honaker, naming them as co-defendants and claiming they “exacerbated this problem by intentionally misrepresenting to SeatGeek that brokers’ fees for May, June and July 2016 had been paid when in reality they had not been.” The lawsuit is the latest in a string of problems for ScoreBig, which has been strapped for cash and last month engaged California-based restructuring firm Sherwood Partners to solicit bids for company assets. SeatGeek has offered to pay brokers 50% of unpaid ScoreBig orders in exchange for an agreement to not cancel tickets for fans.
