Won't new shows continue to show up as time goes on? If the vouchers are valid for 4 more years, doesn't that mean TM will offer eligible shows for that period of time? Otherwise, the vouchers would all really just expire on the latest date showing in the current list available. I say this because it seems like some are acting as if the shows listed now are sold out or there isn't anything that works right now on the list, and that's it - the vouchers are unusable forever after. Surely that's not the case, is it??? If it is, then that is fucking nonsense.

They expire in 2020 but TM will only put out shows til May 2017, and they will only do so at cap of 15 mil. So far they have done what they consider 2 runs for shows that they said are worth 5 mil each, now at combined 10 mil. It's bullshit with too many glitches. So I would assume that once they are capped at 15 mil, then they are done.

Where did you see it was $15 million?

UPDATE JUNE 23 10:00 PM EDT The eligible event list below has been updated with new tickets available for ticket voucher redemption subject to availability under the terms of the settlement. For frequently asked questions, click here.
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.
UPDATE JUNE 21 1:35 AM EDT In 2003, the Schlesinger v. Ticketmaster class action lawsuit was filed alleging that Ticketmaster failed to fully disclose to consumers all aspects of its UPS and Order Processing Fees. While vigorously defending the lawsuit, Ticketmaster settled the case in 2013, with the court granting final approval of the settlement in February 2015. The settlement class includes all consumers who transacted on Ticketmaster.com from 1999-2013.


The second wave of tickets are sold out now. So they've already done what they consider 10 mil as of now.

If you look at StubHub, people are putting tickets up for $10-$15 for a lot of shows. Guess they figure some money is better then nothing.

If anybody wants the following, let me know... I'll sell them verrrrrrry cheap:
DISTURBED & BREAKING BENJAMIN IN SARASOTA SPRINGS, NY 7/12/16
or
SLIPKNOT IN ST. LOUIS, MO 8/4/16

It doesn't exactly say 15 mil is the cap, and I'm really not sure what is. But looks to me that there may only be 1 more run of the 5 mil offer sets. It's too vague to me to understand what the cap is. But I'm not counting on them to do much more than the minimum.

Would be nice, if they did. I wouldn't bet on it either way. I'm not wasting anymore time on it. I tried getting a pair of tickets to Black Sabbath for a friend and kept getting the error page. Hope the people scalping their free tickets enjoy the little bit of $$ they're making.

I was on TM the day after the voucher announcement and got rejected for all the shows in southern California for which I attempted to use voucher code even though they didn't show sold out. I counted and I have 12 apparently useless "Ticket Code" vouchers and a bunch of UPS and Discount codes too. The shows that I would maybe go see (if they were actually free) are of course now all out-of-vouchers. I wonder if this wasn't just of a ploy to get people to login to TM and browse for tickets. Maybe some bummed out suckers actually paid for the GA tix in their cart once their voucher code was not accepted?

UPDATE JUNE 24 2:00 PM EDT

Over the course of this week, over $10m worth of ticket vouchers have been redeemed and the eligible events have been closed. Please check back periodically for event listings as we anticipate making additional inventory available next week.

Please note, the Discount Code and UPS Discount Code vouchers can still be used on primary tickets on any event on Ticketmaster.com. Log in to your account to view your vouchers and search for events



its seriously become a game now, eventho I did score some tickets it took some dedication and lack of working today to get it done...why cant they just release everything they have at once for show currently listed?

Better yet. Why couldn't they just let you use your voucher for any show up til 2020. They sure as hell didn't discriminate against screwing us for fees for all shows and locations, not just specific limited show and locations... Fuckers...
