Southern Pennsylvania (USA) music venue, CROCODILE ROCK (ALLENTOWN, PENNSYLVANIA) are suing concert promoters SLP CONCERTS over lost fees due to moving shows to other venues. CROCODILE ROCK (ALLENTOWN, PENNSYLVANIA) announced the venue is closing its doors after losing it's liquor license on an appeal. In the context of CROCODILE ROCK (ALLENTOWN, PENNSYLVANIA) closing, many shows already booked are cancelled or have been moved to regional venues (REVERB).
FROM CROCODILE ROCK CAFE:
Crocodile Rock Cafe in Allentown filed a lawsuit against promoter SLP Concerts, Stanley Levinstone, Adam Vodovsky and Joshua Rittenhouse. Crocodile Rock Cafe is seeking damages stemming from fees paid by fans to Ticketmaster for tickets for shows performed at Crocodile Rock Cafe. "SLP Concerts refuses to disclose the amount of fees collected by them over 5 or 6 years or more on the shows at the Crocodile Rock Cafe" says Joe Clark.
"There could be hundreds of thousands, maybe over a million, in these fees that have never been paid to the Crocodile Rock Cafe and were collected exclusively by SLP Concerts via Ticketmaster. A $25.00 ticket could cost a fan as much as $37.00 and SLP, Stan Levinstone, et. al. and Ticketmaster kept the fees." Clark continues.
The suit will seek disclosure of unreported income that Crocodile Rock was entitled to as the venue, but failed to disclose to Crocodile Rock after many repeated attempts were made to ascertain this unreported income.
Furthermore, we are seeking an immediate injunction against SLP Concerts, Stan Levinstone et. al. from moving shows to other venues when they were scheduled to play at the Crocodile Rock Cafe. These shows were moved arbitrarily and with no notice to the Crocodile Rock causing Crocodile Rock a loss of revenue and tortious interference to our reputation in the international world music community.
Fans should get refunds where purchased ASAP if they have any concern or pay at the door day of show just in case there is no show performed while this matter is under the courts control. Additionally, Crocodile Rock Cafe reserves the right, if it discovers, to seek the Federal Court's protection to seek civil RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations) charges.
FROM SLP CONCERTS:
Further Update Regarding Crocodile Rock:
SLP Concerts will not comment on the specific allegations contained in the pending lawsuit filed by the Crocodile Rock Café except to say that the allegations that have been made against SLP Concerts are without merit and false and it has referred the matter to its attorneys. SLP Concerts also has not received a copy of any Court Order impacting the venue or time of any of its presently scheduled shows. Therefore, SLP Concerts has no reason to believe that any of SLP Concerts’ presently scheduled shows will be in any way impacted and all ticketholders and other colleagues in the industry should not assume anything to the contrary unless otherwise notified by SLP Concerts. SLP Concerts refers its loyal customers and colleagues in the industry to SLP Concerts’ website http://www.slpconcerts.net/ for correct information on any of its upcoming shows. Additionally, until otherwise ordered or directed by an appropriate Court, no SLP Concerts shows or performances will be held at the Crocodile Rock Café.
