    Completely agree...there should be ZERO limitations to the use of these free tickets to any show. It defeats the whole purpose of the lawsuit when you limit the shows to cover bands and 80's acts

    Yesterday there were 4 shows listed in the Seattle area (Snoop, Zombie, Slipknot and a local radio station's annual Pain in the Grass festival). Today there are 0 shows in the Seattle area. I have 17 free GA vouchers and 0 shows to pick from. Hope to see something get added back soon. What a clusterfuck. But Ticketmaster = SNAFU, so I guess that's to be expected.

    I just used one voucher to get 8 lawn seats to The Cure in Charlotte lol. Way to go Ticketmaster.

    So you got 8 lawn seats for free with it?? If so, that is amazing. If you saved $2.25 on 8 lawn seats, not so much. :lol:
    They finally caught on to this as I got 8 lawn seats (worth 210.00) as well for a few shows, now there is a red banner saying you can only get 2

    They also removed a lot of shows off that list...what a debacle this is haha

    You'd think they'd have worked out all the kinks BEFORE they posted the vouchers, eh?

    It could be a game they are playing to show that they comply with the judgement. They listed a bunch of decent shows but then take them down or make it impossible to get tix.

    Could you just do a ticket transfer like any other TM ticket?

    Yes, just send/e-mail the PDF file for the tickets, and let them print them off. Or if they're close, you print them off and give them to them. They're just regular tickets.

    Im 17/17

    Livenation has little or no presence in Colorado.
    No venues that I know of and overall there are very few TM events because most venues use axs tickets and/or altitude tickets.

    This list of shows really sucks for NC (unless your a fan of country music)... hopefully they will continue to update this list and add more shows throughout the next year... I will be pissed if I have 14 vouchers I cant use that expire because TM gave people a bunch of garbage tickets...

    Hopefully someone will file a second suit that allows us to use these vouchers at any time in the future... they had no problem taking money from us illegally for 14 years until someone called them on it!

    I'm in total agreement with you. It's like we're getting screwed a second time by only being able to select from a TM/LiveNation approved list of concerts. Concerts that more than likely they're having a hard time selling tickets to so they pawn them off to us. The only show I was really stoked about seeing in the approved list was the Prophets of Rage show in Mountain View, CA in Sept. and of course I'm not able to redeem my voucher for the show.

    So for shits and giggles I thought I would see which shows I could use these vouchers for and so far I haven't had luck with any of the shows I tried:
    Def Leppard
    Korn & Rob Zombie
    Heart
    Counting Crows
    Gwen Stephani
    Pitbull
    Outcry Tour (looks to be a christian music festival. I thought for sure I would be able to use my vouchers for this event....but nope I can't!)

    What a bullshit offer this is!

    Well he can either email the pdf to someone or print and give the ticketfast print out to them.

    Edit, and now I see you said that above.

    this is such a typical big business screw the consumer I'll show you. So offer us vouchers to virtually all crap shows with some states having no shows at all. Why do they get to pick? What a joke

    In that case my tickets won't ALL go to waste.

    It wouldn't accept any of my voucher codes (tried 3 out of 10 or so) for any of the shows that were linked to. I chose the cheapest GA tickets too.

    NONE of my codes worked either, I've tried a bunch of shows in other states just to see. SO, what's the point of this and now any of the shows I wanted in my area are all sold out for vouchers. TM screws us all again!!

    Maybe some good shows will become available tomorrow or very soon.

    "UPDATE JUNE 22 11:30 PM EDT

    At this time, nearly $5m worth of eligible ticket vouchers have been redeemed and the first wave of eligible events has been closed. Given the overwhelming interest, Ticketmaster is adding another $5m worth of eligible tickets so more class members can redeem ticket vouchers. Please check back tomorrow for additional information."

    That's why the only winners in Class Action lawsuits are the lawyers. By the time it goes through the courts, and the lawyers get paid, there's usually nothing but a pittance left for everyone else.
