Concert Venues Accuse Yelp of Pushing Fake Tickets
The National Independent Venue Association penned a letter to Yelp's CEO on Tuesday, stating the company is listing fake tickets on venues' pages.
NIVA itself started reaching out to Yelp around a week ago, the rep added, sharing examples with the company’s leadership, but they didn’t get a response. NIVA also shared screenshots for ticket listings at the Fox Theatre in Boulder and the Crafthouse Stage and Grill in Pittsburgh for shows that weren’t actually scheduled at the concert venues. It’s faced controversy before, as NIVA states in the letter, with the company settling complaints with the Federal Trade Commission as well as the New York Attorney General and Canada’s Competition Bureau in years past.
