The giant ticketing conglomerate seemingly did everything they could to block the upstart company from making an impactful entry into the U.S. Songkick worked with artists to sell tickets directly to fans before they went on sale on major ticketing platforms like Ticketmaster/Live Nation. After a long-running lawsuit with Ticketmaster/Live Nation, the company has essentially been put out of business by its ultra-powerful market competition. In a press release, Songkick CEO Matt Jones made clear that the company is being blocked from doing business by Ticketmaster/Live Nation, and that, while Songkick is now being forced to close its doors, the legal battle will rage on. U.K.-based artist-to-fan ticketing service Songkick has announced that it will close its doors on October 31st.
