Ticketmaster loses class-action lawsuit
**** these guys. Ticketmaster is a racket.

Of course, the lawyers are the real winners here. $1.50 a ticket is just stupid.
Quote:
Everyone Who Has Used Ticketmaster In The Last 12 Years Is Getting A Refund

If you used Ticketmaster's website to buy tickets between October 21, 1999 and October 19, 2011, you're in for a windfall.

Well, a $1.50 per ticket order windfall.

Because of a proposed class action settlement, Ticketmaster is being forced to credit $1.50 per ticket order (up to 17 orders) to customers due to the fact that they profited off of "processing fees" without declaring as much.

And despite the reparations, Ticketmaster can continue to profit off transactions — they just have to say they're doing so on their website.

According to court documents, the original claim, filed October 21, 2003, also implicates UPS' delivery price for expedited delivery of tickets as deceptive. Those part of the UPS subclass of the suit are entitled to an additional $5.00 credit per ticket. Both credits are in the form of vouchers, which can be redeemed a maximum of two at a time.

This could end up costing Ticketmaster a hefty amount of money. If, in any given year over the four-year redemption period, less than $11.25 million is redeemed by customers, Ticketmaster is going to donate the remainder to charity.

Also, the Counsel attorneys plan to ask for an award of up to $16,500,000 in attorneys’ fees and expenses, as well as $20,000 to the two plaintiffs who brought forward the class action in the first place.

Don't expect your credits quite yet, though. Credits won't be issued prior to April 15, 2012, and should come within 30 days after Final Approval of the settlement (currently scheduled for May 29, 2012).

Apparently, the fine print says they give you credit vouchers instead of cash, which are worth $2.50 - 7.50 each and are only redeemable at the ticketmaster.com website. Oh, and you can't use more than two at a time. What a joke.

Yeah..... and the next ticket you buy, you'll also notice an additional $1.50 fee in the fine print for some bewildering reason..

Class action law suits are typically a legal shake down by a law firm. Nobody but the attorney's benefit, well that and the original plaintiff they get to start the suit.

Still most all are on the attorney's digging for money.

Most are settled out of court because if you are found on slightly responsible as a defendant you have to pay all the attorney fees for defense and claimant which usually are in the 7 figure range. Not worth the risk.

Meanwhile you get $1.50 while the attorney's rack up millions.
