After 18 years New Zealand agency UnderTheRadar will stop offering ticketing services because of the continuing and growing threats posed by AI.
UTR has a lot of credibility because of their excellent local music journalism, which will fortunately continue.
This is a win for the faceless international ticketing agencies.
