Ticketmaster refund/free tickets lawsuit

Millions of Ticketmaster customers are getting offers for free tickets because of a 13-year-old lawsuit.

The company planned to finish sending out free tickets vouchers "on or around June 18" to U.S. customers who made purchases on its site between October 1999 and February 2013 and paid an "Order Processing Fee" that was never refunded.

The offers stem from a lawsuit first filed in 2003 alleging Ticketmaster was charging "excessive and deceptive" fees.

Though the company denies the claims, it agreed in a settlement last April to issue $45 million worth of cash, discounts and tickets to customers covered by the class action lawsuit.

Ticketmaster said they'll each get "at least one" ticket code in their accounts, which can be redeemed for two general admission tickets to "selected" events at venues owned and operated by Ticketmaster parent company Live Nation Entertainment.

According to an FAQ, Live Nation has "sole discretion" in choosing which events the vouchers can be redeemed for, and they'll be handed out on a first-come-first-served basis.

As of Sunday afternoon, Live Nation (LYV) had not identified any eligible events. The company has set up a web page where it says a list will be posted once it is "finalized."

Ticketmaster said on Twitter Sunday that it could not say when the list will be available, "but we expect it to be soon."

The company did not respond to CNNMoney's request for comment and further information.

So I managed to login and see my vouchers. I went to the website showing what I could use them on and there was exactly one show I was slightly interested in. Bricks in the Wall at the House of Blues. It's a $10-$20 show depending on location. Go to pay and it says I can't use the voucher for this event.

UPS - Ticket Codes

Oh and of course there was a $7 service charge per ticket.

[mstng86]

I've got about 7 vouchers of $2.50 each. I haven't really messed with it, but I am assuming that you can only use one voucher per purchase.

You're just mad that you can't use those vouchers to go see Warren G. at Gas Monkey on 7/14.

Fuck Ticketmaster. They offered me a job but I told them a pay twice my current salary ( i mean cause for real I'd work for them if they'd paid me that ). I fucking hate that company so bad with their bullshit CONvenience fees. When we went to UFC 168, the fees were about 20% of the ticket costs which is just robbery ( ~$300 in fees for each ticket! ). I'm getting angry just thinking about this crap. I hope they get sued for more.

Hey at least you only paid face value, most of their tickets end up on the resale market for 4x face value. Their own resale market.

I got three free ticket codes and three $2.25 vouchers. All of the shows they are available for are shit. Yay!!!111
