Ticketmaster Class Action Lawsuit Settlement

[Gorack]

There was a ticketmaster class action lawsuit that was just settled. If you go into your account and check vouchers you may have free tickets and discounts to apply towards future orders. I received the max 17 pairs of tickets and 43.25 in discounts off of future "eligible" events. (I go to a lot of shows) They aren't active yet as the vouchers just started going out today. Info on the suit:

I created this thread in the music forum first but just realized sporting events, plays and such would also apply. So, if the mods want to delete the other one I figure more people will see it here.

Thanks man. I have 3 vouchers for free tickets and 3 vouchers for $2.25 off. Interesting

Damn, just read the details and noticed this:

Under the Settlement, Ticketmaster will issue approximately $386 million in Discount Codes to Class Members, which will be good for four years and will allow Class Members to receive discounts for future ticket purchases and/or receive additional discounts on future UPS ticket deliveries. If Class Members do not use at least $42 million worth of codes, Ticketmaster has agreed to make free tickets for certain events available to Class Members on a first come, first served basis. Ticketmaster will make enough of the free tickets available to make up for the difference between the amount of discounts that are redeemed and $42 million. You will not have to wait four years to determine if any free tickets will be issued. Beginning a year after the Discount Codes are first issued, the parties will evaluate their redemption rates, and if less than $10.5 million a year in discounts have been redeemed, Ticketmaster will make free tickets available.

So if I'm reading that correctly free tix won't be avaible for a year and only if not enough people redeem redemption codes.
