New York, NY: Two Ticketmaster customers filed a class action lawsuit claiming that Ticketmaster' Order Processing Fees and UPS Expedited Delivery Prices of tickets are excessive and deceptive.
You are a Class Member if you purchased tickets on the Ticketmaster website between October 21, 1999 and October 19, 2011 (the "Class Period") and you paid money to Ticketmaster for an Order Processing Fee ("OPF") that has not been refunded. You must also have been a resident of the United States at the time of your purchase, and not have opted out of this Class previously. Additionally, you are also a "UPS Subclass Member"if you paid a UPS Delivery Price in connection with your purchase of tickets over the Website.
If the Settlement is approved by the Court and you have not opted out of the Class, you will automatically receive Ticketmaster Credits. You will receive, via email, at the address associated with your Ticketmaster account, discount codes ("Codes") which can be used for future purchases for U.S. events from Ticketmaster' website. For each transaction (up to a maximum of 17 transactions) that you made during the Class Period, you will receive one code, via email, for a $1.50 discount off future transactions.
If you are also a member of the UPS Subclass, you will be entitled to additional discounts off future delivery fees. Specifically, for each transaction (up to a maximum of 17 transactions) made using UPS delivery, you will receive one UPS code via email, for a $5.00 discount off future expedited delivery fees. Certain details apply which are described in the Notice.
To object to the Settlement, you must file a written statement with the Court, and provide a copy to Lead Class Counsel and Ticketmaster' Counsel by February 16, 2012. If you opt out, you will not receive any benefits under this Settlement. If you do not opt out and the Court approves the Settlement, you will be bound by its terms and will release your claims against Ticketmaster. The Opt Out deadline is 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time on February 16, 2012. If you do not wish to participate in the Settlement, you must submit a written request to opt out that includes your name and email address. It must be submitted online on this website; mailed to the address below; or sent via email to the Claims Administrator at the email address below.
If you do not request to opt out of the Settlement before February 16, 2012, you will be considered a participant in the proposed Settlement. You will be bound by the terms of the Settlement and lose, or release, your right to sue regarding the settled claims. Details about the complete release are contained in the Settlement Agreement, available on this website.
The Court will decide whether to approve the Settlement at a Final Approval Hearing on May 29, 2012.
