Get ready for more F.U. charges from Ticketmaster

Yeah, a credit of less than $2 for each ticket you can prove you bought. They know people won't cash them in, so TM is getting off too easy here. No one is getting a refund check.

ticketmaster needs to go away. im sick of 15 dollar tickets costing 30 dollars. wish i had all those receipts.
I know, right? It's not like I'm going to be able to get a refund for the 30 odd tickets I've bought through them over the past few years.
Receipts for tickets? I keep ticket stubs, not receipts. Dammit Ticketmaster, why you so douchey?

I dunno. I have every email receipt, invoice and confirmation from every online transaction I've ever done, for over a decade. Emails don't take up much space...and a file in my documents or in my email interface keeps them all in one place.
If that's the case then I'll be golden, but knowing Ticketmaster they probably won't accept those (because too many people actually keep those instead of receipts).
Go to the box office. That's what I do. Less fees. And support local music. Which I shouldn't have to say to bunch of bass players.
My current living situation rules out any box office visits. I do support local music to the cities I travel to on weekends though.
Also, I simply like to b****. It's a good time.
My only other option is stop seeing live music at venues contracted by Ticketmaster/LiveNation and that's just not going to happen.

All great points, I guess my music tastes have led me to smaller venues.
Other than a handful of bands, I guess mine has too actually. It's just that I see those bands several times a year that I have to deal with TM/LN. The Murat in Indy is still Ticketmaster/Livenation right? I was up there just a few months ago but can't remember. Like that venue.
I've gotten hundreds of tickets from them through the years. As per the class action suite, I can only get $25 back. Still, its not like I had $25 before...
Looks like the lawyers are the ones making out on this deal.
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.

"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"
Guess I'll just let me $25 go to charity rather then dig out all the receipts
The crap is how much the f-ing lawyers made

A lot of box offices won't sell tickets as part of their agreement with Ticketmaster.
If I call the Bridgestone Arena Box Office to order pizza, I get transfered to Ticketmaster for anything less that 1/2 season tickets. That includes concerts, singe game tickets, the works.
