After a class-action lawsuit against Ticketmaster, the company has settled with the plaintiffs and agreed to give free tickets and discounts to its customers. This agreement is good news for fans, but what does this settlement mean for fans? There are two main outcomes of this settlement. First, customers will get a free voucher for any future purchase. This will not cover every show, but at least 60 percent of them. Secondly, the settlement will cover the expenses of the plaintiffs’ attorneys.
Ticketmaster settles class-action lawsuit
Ticketmaster has agreed to settle a class-action lawsuit with its customers by providing free tickets to more than half of its live events. The initial list of 450 shows includes names such as The Cure, Black Sabbath, Mumford and Sons, Bob Dylan, and more. It will be updated as new events are added. Currently, the list includes tickets to shows by The Cure, Black Sabbath, Prophets of Rage, Flight of the Conchords, and others.
Ticketmaster has been in hot water for several years, beginning with a class-action lawsuit from Pearl Jam in the 1990s. More recently, Bruce Springsteen sued over processing fees. Ticketmaster settled this lawsuit last month, and now it is giving eligible customers access to free and discounted tickets. NPR has been checking to see if the settlement is working. The company has settled several lawsuits related to its service fees, including one filed in 2003 by fans of Pearl Jam.
The settlement includes a retroactive adjustment to refund policies. In an attempt to regain customer trust, Ticketmaster will begin to offer refunds to its customers. The new refund policy will apply to all future transactions, and customers who pay for expedited ticket delivery and Order Processing Fees can receive up to $5 in credit to their accounts. In addition, Ticketmaster has improved its website language to make it clear that the company will make profits on the sale of tickets to concert attendees.
Ticketmaster offers discounts
After a 13-year lawsuit, Ticketmaster has agreed to give customers who are eligible to receive vouchers for discounts or free tickets. The company is giving out $5 million in free tickets, but the vouchers are quickly going to be claimed. As a result, many users have left frustrated. Ticketmaster hasn’t yet revealed which concerts and events are eligible for the discounts. Until then, there are several ways to get discounted tickets.
First, you can try applying for the discount codes. Some offer $5 discount codes while others offer $2.25 off tickets. In total, Ticketmaster is required to pay $42 million over the next four years, or $10.5 million a year. This amount is far higher than the company was obligated to pay. Another way to get discounts is to buy multiple tickets from different vendors. Many companies offer discounts to customers who are already sued by Ticketmaster. You can also use discount codes to purchase tickets for different events. You can stack several discount codes to get a bigger discount.
If you’re in an eligible situation, you can use the discount tickets for your favorite concerts. The company has partnered with NPR to track the settlement and its impact on consumers. In April, Ticketmaster agreed to pay $45 million in settlement payments to those affected by the lawsuit. As a result, customers who purchased tickets on Ticketmaster during that timeframe will receive at least one voucher good for two general admission tickets.
Ticketmaster offers free tickets
Ticketmaster is making free tickets and discounts available to its customers as part of a class-action lawsuit over fees. Ticketmaster had previously been accused of charging fees for mailing tickets and processing online orders. Last year, it settled a class-action lawsuit and is now making those tickets available for free or at reduced prices. According to NPR, the company is providing free tickets to eligible customers as part of the settlement.
The free ticket vouchers and discount codes will be valid for up to 450 Live Nation shows. The initial list of events includes Bob Dylan, The Cure, Black Sabbath, Mumford & Sons, and Bob Dylan. The vouchers may be valid only for shows in the coming year. Ticketmaster has not responded to requests for comment. The free tickets and discounts are only available at Live Nation-owned and operated venues.
As part of the settlement, Ticketmaster is obliged to provide an additional $40 million in free tickets to class members. That is an additional $10.5 million per year. Since 2003, the company has dropped a total of $386 million worth of vouchers into its users’ accounts. The vouchers are valid for 60 percent of their purchases. While this number may not seem impressive at first, the settlement has provided some comfort to the class members.
