You may have free tickets waiting in your Ticketmaster account

The tricky fee in question was an Order Processing Fee, which was described as being based on what was called processing costs – but was actually a nasty profit generator that the website required their customers to pay when they purchased a ticket. Ugh!

That’s right, free tickets and discount codes.

For those who bought tickets between 1999 and 2013, the settlement means they will be receiving vouchers for free and discounted tickets – which can be found in their Ticketmaster account inbox.

Basically, you should just stop what you’re doing and log into your Ticketmaster account now to see what’s up! People can redeem up to 17 discount codes for tickets( each $2.25) and UPS (each $5), as well as free tickets to a select list of events.

I checked on Sunday morning – I have seven free vouchers, redeemable for “two free General Admission tickets” waiting for me, to say nothing of coupons. Each eligible live concert event, which as noted above will be at Live Nation venues such as House Of Blues, will have a limited allotment of tickets that can be secured using the free ticket vouchers and will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. A settlement from a class-action lawsuit includes vouchers that are appearing in users’ accounts. What single ticket-buyer, frustrated by an overheated $8 delivery charge (or five), would have bothered to hire counsel and go it alone against Ticketmaster?

“You may have recently received an email regarding the Schlesinger v. Ticketmaster Class Action Settlement because you are a Class Member who may be entitled to Ticket Codes as part of the Settlement”, read a statement on Live Nation’s website.
