Ticketing company Lyte, which has increasingly embraced ticket reselling in recent years, shut down its website with no warning last week.

Ticketing company Lyte appears to have gone out of business, shutting down its website, laying off its staff and leaving a number of concert promoters unpaid for hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of tickets sold on the platform.has resigned from the company, according to multiple sources, with an emergency board/creditors effort underway to try to identify a potential buyer that could repay the fans and promoters affected by shutdown, which one source said felt akin to being “ghosted.

It wasn’t uncommon for a major indie festival promoter to have several hundred thousand dollars’ worth of ticketing inventory listed on the Lyte system, explained one attorney representing potentially more than a $1 million in cumulative claims against Lyte. High profile clients for Lyte included Baja Beach festival, the Lost Lands festival in Ohio, Pitchfork Music Festival and Newport Folk Festival, although it’s unclear which events are owed money by Lyte.
