Free concert tickets..ticketmaster settlement

I have nothing. I guess I didn’t go to enough concerts.

It’s a cool thing but sadly, as with most such cases, the attorneys are the ones who really made money off of this:

"Under the Settlement, Ticketmaster will pay all of the attorneys’ fees and out-of-pocket expenses for the attorneys that have been certified to represent the Class and for the costs of administering the Settlement. You will not be required to pay any attorneys’ fees or costs from your share of the Settlement.

Lead Class Counsel filed with the Court an application (the “Fee Motion”) asking for an award of up to $14,960,000 in attorneys’ fees, which represents a “multiplier” of less than 1.9 times Lead Class Counsel’s “lodestar” (the amount of time the lawyers for the Class have spent working on this case over the past ten years, multiplied by their hourly rates, as of March 31, 2012). Lead Class Counsel also sought to recover the costs and expenses they have spent pursuing this case, not to exceed $1.5 million.

On February 27, 2015, the Court entered an order granting the Fee Motion and approving Lead Class Counsel’s attorneys’ fees in the amount of $14,960,000 and costs and expenses in the amount of $1,230,871.11. Ticketmaster will pay attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses to Lead Class Counsel in these amounts as ordered by the Court. These amounts are in addition to any other recoveries provided for in the Settlement. They do not come out of, and will not affect, the recoveries available to you and other Class Members."

This on a $45M settlement of a $400M class action lawsuit. It is truly good to be a lawyer.

. What are the terms and conditions of using the Ticket Codes?

Each Class Member who made a purchase transaction on www.ticketmaster.com between October 21, 1999 and February 27, 2013, received on or around June 18, 2016, at least one Ticket Code potentially redeemable for two tickets for concert events at Live Nation owned or operated venues, subject to availability and limitations (described generally below and in more detail in the Settlement Agreement and Release). Individual Class Members received one Ticket Code for each purchase transaction during the Class Period, up to a maximum of 17 Ticket Codes. You may redeem your Ticket Codes on eligible transactions at www.ticketmaster.com. A dedicated website located at http://concerts.livenation.com/microsite/settlement has been established so you can readily see events, once they are identified, where Ticket Codes may be used. Please note the following regarding using any Ticket Codes you are eligible to receive.

Each Ticket Code may be redeemed for two tickets, with a maximum of two Ticket Codes (four tickets) eligible for use per event.
Each Ticket Code may be redeemed for General Admission seating at designated concert events at Live Nation owned or operated venues as defined on the dedicated website located at: http://concerts.livenation.com/microsite/settlement.
The events and venues selected where Ticket Codes may be used will be within Live Nation’s sole discretion and may include Live Nation clubs such as House of Blues.
Each Ticket Code may be used only one time. Once used, it will be extinguished and will disappear from the list of Active Vouchers on your account.
A list of events for which the Ticket Codes presently may be redeemed (provided you do so before they have been secured by others) is available at http://concerts.livenation.com/microsite/settlement.
Tickets purchased using Ticket Codes may be delivered at no charge at will call or by TicketFast. Any other form of delivery may subject you to an additional delivery charge.
Ticket Codes are NOT transferable.
Tickets may be claimed on a first come, first served basis. Once the “free tickets” made available for a specific event have been claimed, you will not be able to use your Ticket Codes to acquire tickets for that event.
To receive periodic notifications by email when new events for which Ticket Codes may be used are available, subscribe here: https://secure.gcginc.com/tkm/SubscriptionSignup.aspx. Please note that notifications regarding new events are not instantaneous. New events where Ticket Codes may be used will be added to the dedicated website frequently, but notification emails will be sent to subscribers only periodically. Ticket Code holders who are interested in attending popular events are encouraged to check the dedicated website frequently for new event listings.
Initially it is anticipated that Ticket Codes will need to be used on or before June 18, 2020 or they will be extinguished. Depending on the redemptions of benefit Codes and the distribution of tickets through that date, expiration of Codes may be extended for up to two years.
Ticket Codes are redeemable (for events where “free tickets” remain available) on the Ticketmaster website (www.ticketmaster.com or concerts.livenation.com). Please note they also are available for redemption on Ticketmaster’s mobile website (m.ticketmaster.com and www1.ticketmaster.com) but not on mobile apps (iOS or Android).
For any transactions where you elect to use a Ticket Code, you will be asked to input that Ticket Code on the Billing Page during the checkout stage of your transaction. For ease of use, we recommend that you cut and paste the Ticket Code(s) you intend to use in your browser or write them down as you start the purchase transaction so that they will be readily accessible to you at checkout.

No wonder it keeps taking so long for mine to load… 17 free vouchers, and lots o 2.25 credits…

I keep getting errors when I try to purchase my tickets.

Cool. Two vouchers and two discount codes.
/giphy grin

Seems like the $2.25 credits are stackable, too. I was able to add more than one to an order I was looking at the other night (didn’t fully checkout, though).

Thanks for reminding me to check. I have 8 of each. Guess I better use them before more concerts drop of the list. I don’t seem to be getting any Kindle credits but I’m supposed to be getting Nook/Barnes and Noble ones per an email I received recently. As much as I read, I’ll take what I can get.

5 ticket vouchers plus a handful of discount codes. Nothing even in bordering states for me.

Looks like the list is going to change frequently. They are allowing a certain number of the vouchers per show. The vouchers are good through 2020 and maybe longer. I see 2 shows that I would like now but I think I will wait and see what comes along later.

I have what seems to be about 30 $2.25 vouchers and perhaps 6-8 full tickets. (We’ve gone to a lot shows in the time period involved.) At the rate the page is loading though, the 2020 deadline will pass before I can see what any of the specified shows are.
