CONCERT PROMOTION/TICKET SALES DISPUTE
The U.S. District Court for the Western District of South Dakota denied a motion to dismiss all but one of several claims filed by a concert promoter over the handling of ticket sales for concerts held during the annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in the Black Hills. Rozone Productions LLC v. Raczkowski, 09-5015-JLV. The Rozone Productions plaintiffs promoted Motorcycle Rally concerts by Kenny Chesney, John Fogerty and KISS. Rozone hired Good Music Agency to book the acts. Good Music then recommended that Rozone use Star Tickets as the ticket vendor. The concerts attracted large audiences, but after the shows, Star Tickets' CEO Andrew Rocky Raczkowski seized the ticket-stub boxes and allegedly destroyed some of the boxed stubs so that the amount remaining would match the ticket sales actually reported to Rozone. Meanwhile, unknown to Rozone, Star Tickets paid Good Music a $2.00 kickback for each ticket sold.
