A startup ticketing company alleged in a legal filing that Live Nation Entertainment Inc., the country’s biggest concert promoter, hacked into its computer systems and stole trade secrets.
The allegations, included in an amended antitrust lawsuit that was originally filed by Brooklyn-based Songkick in 2015, are based on information that the company said came to light in the discovery process.
