OBJECT If you do not think the Settlement is fair, you may file an objection with the Court explaining your position. You may hire an attorney to represent you, but are not required to do so.
Basic Information
1. Why did I get this Notice? After several mediation sessions before impartial mediators, the parties have reached the proposed Settlement for this case, which must be approved by the Court. If you have received this notice by email, it is because Ticketmaster’s records reflect that you are a member of the Class. You may also be a member of the UPS Subclass.

3. What is this case about? Plaintiffs claim that some of Ticketmaster’s fees are deceptive and misleading.

Plaintiffs also claim that Ticketmaster's description of its fees caused customers to believe its Order Processing Fee was based on or related to Ticketmaster’s costs in processing orders, but was not based on those costs and was actually a profit generator which Ticketmaster required customers to pay.
Settlement Terms
1. If the Court approves the Settlement, and I stay in the Class, what do I get?
a) All Class Members receive discounts for future ticket purchases. You will receive Discount Codes via email, and the Discount Codes will also be available through an active link on your "my account" webpage on the Website. These codes will give you a discount of $2.25 each when applied toward subsequent purchases of primary tickets on the Website for events in the United States (except for events at AEG owned or operated venues). You will receive one Discount Code for each purchase transaction you made over the Website during the Class Period, up to a maximum of 17 Discount Codes. You can use two Discount Codes at the same time, for a $4.50 discount. Discount Codes are not transferable and may only be used by you, and each code can only be used once.
b) UPS Subclass Members receive additional discounts on future UPS ticket deliveries.
2. What happens if not many Class Members use the Discount Codes? If the Settlement is approved, Ticketmaster will issue approximately $386 million in Discount Codes, including the UPS Discount Codes, which are good for four years. If the Class Members do not use at least $42 million worth of codes, Ticketmaster has agreed to make free tickets for certain events available to Class Members on a first-come, first-served basis. Ticketmaster will make enough of the free tickets available to make up for the difference between the amount of discounts that are redeemed and $42 million. You will not have to wait four years to determine if any free tickets will be issued. Beginning a year after the Discount Codes are first issued, the parties will evaluate their redemption rates, and if less than $10.5 million a year in discounts have been redeemed, Ticketmaster will make free tickets available.
The process for getting free tickets is as follows: Along with the Discount Codes, you will automatically receive, via email and an active link on your “my account” webpage, a separate set of codes (one per transaction over the Class Period, with a cap of 17 codes) that you may redeem for a pair of free concert tickets at certain Live Nation owned or operated venues ("Ticket Codes"). If less than $10.5 million in Discount Codes are redeemed per year, Ticketmaster will make a sufficient number of tickets available to be claimed via the Ticket Codes to equal or exceed the value of the shortfall in the redemption of the Discount Codes, subject to certain limitations set forth in the Settlement Agreement. You may redeem each Ticket Code for two free tickets, with a maximum of two Ticket Codes (four tickets) per event. The tickets will be for general admission seating at designated concert events at certain Live Nation owned or operated venues. You can only use each Ticket Code once.
3. What if I lose my Discount Codes or change my email address?
5. Are there any other benefits under the Settlement? Yes, there are several additional benefits
(b) Changes to Ticketmaster’s Website. Ticketmaster has changed its Website and FAQs to add disclosures clarifying that Ticketmaster’s OPF may include a profit and is not limited to its order processing costs, and that its Delivery Price for expedited delivery via UPS may include a profit to Ticketmaster and is not the same as what UPS charges Ticketmaster
What Happens Now – What are my Options?
1. When will Court decide whether to approve the Settlement? You will not receive any benefits unless the Court decides that the Settlement is fair and approves it. The court will hold a hearing to decide whether to approve the Settlement on January 13, 2015 at 10:00 am in Department 310 of the Los Angeles Superior Court, located at 600 South Commonwealth Ave., Los Angeles, CA 90005. This hearing is called the "Final Approval Hearing."
2. How do I participate in the Settlement – What happens if I do nothing? You do not have to do anything to participate in the Settlement. If it is approved, you will automatically receive all of the Discount Codes you are entitled to. If the Court grants final approval of the Settlement, and if you do not properly and timely opt out of the Class, then you will automatically be included in the Class and the Subclass, as applicable. You will be bound by the terms of the Settlement Agreement and any Court Order approving the Settlement and Judgment, and will release your claims against Ticketmaster.
