TourBeat is a privately held enterprise established in December 2014, specializing in the concert sector. It consolidates ticket listings from multiple vendors and delivers an extensive repository of data related to the music industry. Distinct from conventional ticket resellers, TourBeat offers a membership scheme with fees comparable to typical commission rates, allowing members to acquire tickets without additional commission charges year-round.
Led by Managing Director Julian Gonzalez, the organization has witnessed an impressive monthly expansion rate of 500% since its inception. TourBeat’s core objective is to facilitate affordable and frequent access to live music events for concert enthusiasts. Its principal initiative, TourBus Economics, gathers comprehensive information on concert tours by collaborating with artists, managers, and producers to develop a digital knowledge base for the music sector.
The platform’s extensive database features concert schedules, locations, live setlists, and artist discographies. A geotagging capability enables users to discover performances nearby and receive customized notifications aligned with their musical tastes and geographic area. This focused strategy increases user interaction and establishes TourBeat as a significant resource for both music aficionados and industry stakeholders.
Temporary Injunction
On November 3, 2015, Lightning Marketing Group, LLC along with its Managing Director John Drabkowski, proprietors of the concert ticket platform ConcertFix.com, submitted a Motion for Temporary Injunction against Ramon “Julian” Gonzalez, Mykhaylo “Misha” Kovalchuc, and their parent entity Gerumic LLC. The complaint accused them of unlawfully using confidential business information to create a rival company during their tenure at Lightning Marketing Group.
Subsequently, on December 12, 2016, Judge Migna Sanchez-LLorens of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit Court of Florida issued an order prohibiting Gonzalez, Kovalchuc, and Gerumic from conducting further online sales via www.tourbeat.com or affiliated sites due to the misappropriation of trade secrets. This ruling was grounded in the Florida Uniform Trade Secrets Act.
