Ticketmaster settlement

anyone else get a email about a settlement and getting some codes on June 18 for discounts etc?

Yup

wow so this is happening… I stand to get at least $2.25!

maybe this will pay for my black sabbath ticket…

It is pretty lame.  I think you get a certain dollar amount off per order.  So keep buying tickets and you will get the money we overcharged you back.  Before June 18, there will most likely be a rise in cost for "handling fees" with ticketmaster that will even out the credit.

Yes, I got it last week.  I should expect up to a maximum of 17 codes, which I'm certain I will qualify for without a problem.

same here.  the period covered by this suit corresponds with my peak in concert attendance.  17 total?  i did more than that per year.

so you can't combine all the codes into one to get a free ticket? that does not do much for me then…

There's a bit of a rub here.  If not enough people use their codes to total $10.5 million, then some folks will get 2 free tickets to a LiveNation event.  Of course, who knows if that means you get two free tickets to a show you actually want to see or not. 

I haven't read the full decision, but I will use some, but not all of my codes to hedge my bets.

Apparently, there are discounts for UPS fees they charged as well.

You?re one of 50 million people eligible to get yours from the loathed ticket giant. Starting June 18, your Ticketmaster account might sprout one or more of the following:

- A discount code for each Ticketmaster purchase you made between Oct. 21, 1999, and Feb. 27, 2013 ($2.25 off future purchases)

- A UPS discount code for each Ticketmaster purchase you had shipped with UPS in that time period (worth $5 off future purchases)

- A ticket code for each of those purchases, redeemable for two free tickets to concerts at venues operated by Live Nation (which bought Ticketmaster in 2009)?if, that is, class members don?t redeem enough discount codes

EDIT:

Per the FAQ, you can use up to two codes per transaction.  You have until June of 2020 to use your codes.

I probably deleted it. Figures.

You don't need it.  The codes will appear in your TM online account.

I got 17 of these, which I'm pretty sure entitles me to see Nickelback at Jiffy Lube Live 17 times.

I don't get it.. I have free ticket codes but there are no shows to use them for?

I wouldn't mind using them for lawn tickets for Jiffy Lube shows…

Its weird I have 17.. did everyone get 17?

The link to eligible shows is dead right now.  Assume it will be updated eventually.  You can also sign up for email updates.

yes i did that…

I would like to use my free ticket codes for def leppard and black sabbath….

i can't believe i have 17 codes..did i buy that many tickets through ticketmaster?

I also want to use my free concert codes for the Specials, and the Descendents at the Fillmore

and seal of course.. seal at the warner.. i love seal…maybe killsally and i can get seats together…

I guess 17 is the magic number.

Not getting my hopes up on the free show list. Will use discounts for Descendents and stuff.
