The New York-based ticketing platform made reductions across multiple offices including Berlin, with software engineers and UX specialists among those affected. The company did not issue a public statement or respond to media requests at the time, leaving the scale and scope of the cuts to be reported through departing employees' LinkedIn posts. No official reason was given, though the move was characterized as a cost-cutting exercise.
