$400 mm Ticketmaster Class action suit

Anyone remember this? 

https://topclassactions.com/lawsuit-settlements/closed-settlements/ticketmaster-ticket-fee-class-action-settlement/#:~:text=Ticketmaster Entertainment Inc. has agreed,.ticketmaster.com between Oct.

The biggest joke of all time. They were allowed to pay it off in useless TM credits. I remember having like $100 in credits and was able to get like $1-5 off on things like shipping and print at home. Which of course were useless when you were rushing to check out on big sales times. Man they had good lawyers. I hate them so much.

I was awarded 17x.  Didnt get a penny of redemption as “no upcoming shows are eligible for credit redemption” unless you wanted to see seven mary three 180 miles away

I remember getting show credits for bands I had never heard, had no interest in seeing, of or ones that weren’t playing in my area. I never used a single credit that I was awarded.

I think I used the $2.25 per order credit (I think that was the amount) maybe twice. Such a joke.

Ha ha, yeah it was a joke. Couldn't even use it towards the fees. Was just useless.

Biggest bullshit payout in the history of settlements. I think I used 1 or 2 credits - everything else I tried was never eligible. 
I try to avoid Ticketmaster as much as I can now.

I remember getting a bunch of credits too.  All for shows I had no interest in attending.

This is most class action lawsuits.. biggest winners are usually the lawyers.

 "As a result, our band, which is concerned about keeping the price of its tickets low, will almost always be in conflict with Ticketmaster which has every incentive to try to find ways to in- crease the price of the ticket itself."

I never used a single credit I had, which is exactly what they wanted to happen.

i used all my credits. i think i found a way to use some of the credits at a livenation online shop at the time and bought some music

I had about $75 in credits that were never used, due to they couldnt be used on tickets I wanted, and didnt want the tickets for other shows.  And they were all like $1, $1.25 and had to be added separately, I think.   What a joke.

The restrictions on the $-off coupons was tough. no mlb or events presented by AEG. And you could only use two coupons per order. so you'd save $6 off an order with $17 in fees? 'll just go to the box office. they would have been better off giving out the $35 as one code and letting people get a real discount on one show.

And the live nation ticket vouchers was an absolute joke!  i only got to redeem one show. they claimed limited inventory, but then sell $40 lawn seats for $15 on groupon.

Yep saw nothing all the redemption opportunity was garbage.  Nice to have politicians watching your ass for some campaign money

this was decided in the courts. 

Eddieredder

Did the lawyers take their fee in vouchers too?

That sounds very cumbersome…
