Ticketmaster Refunds?

Anyone get an e-mail a few days ago about this?

there's also an article about it.
If you used Ticketmaster's website to buy tickets between October 21, 1999 and October 19, 2011, you're in for a windfall.
Well, a $1.50 per ticket order windfall.
Because of a proposed class action settlement, Ticketmaster is being forced to credit $1.50 per ticket order (up to 17 orders) to customers due to the fact that they profited off of "processing fees" without declaring as much.
And despite the reparations, Ticketmaster can continue to profit off transactions — they just have to say they're doing so on their website.
According to court documents, the original claim, filed October 21, 2003, also implicates UPS' delivery price for expedited delivery of tickets as deceptive. Those part of the UPS subclass of the suit are entitled to an additional $5.00 credit per ticket.
This could end up costing Ticketmaster a hefty amount of money. If, in any given year over the four-year redemption period, less than $11.25 million is redeemed by customers, Ticketmaster is going to donate the remainder to charity.
Also, the Counsel attorneys plan to ask for an award of up to $16,500,000 in attorneys’ fees and expenses, as well as $20,000 to the two plaintiffs who brought forward the class action in the first place.
Don't expect your credits quite yet, though. Credits won't be issued prior to April 15, 2012, and should come within 30 days after Final Approval of the settlement (currently scheduled for May 29, 2012).

    No one is going to get refunds. You have to use the credit on ticketmaster.com for future ticket purchases. How they consider driving more business to ticketmaster a punishment is beyond me. :?:

    Is this decision just in the US or is it worldwide?
    I try not to use Ticketmaster if at all possible 'cos they're moneygrabbing bar stewards (I recently bought a ticket for Wilco in Glasgow for $26, through Sandbag. Ticketmaster were charging over $30, making at least $4 pure profit on every ticket sold!!!)

    Prices should be in GBP but I'm using a US laptop and can't find a pound sign.

    God, I got so excited to see TM got sued and was offering refunds, but $1.50 per ticket? I can't even be fucked to bother with that.
    Thanks EPOTTSIII!

    The fact that your collect the settlement via credits when ordering tickets will translate into people buying tickets only because they have the credit. This will end up being profitable for TM!
