Ticketmaster.com lawsuit and your overpriced Bdway shows

sorry if someone already posted this but just a heads up to anyone who used ticketmaster.com for Broadway shows or concerts or whatever. There was a $400 million lawsuit for anyone who has used ticketmaster from 1999 to 2013 to free tickets and discount codes. I checked my account and I've recieved 14 vouchers. I don't expect to see wicked for free but this might be able to take a load off your wallet for some small time shows or gigs.

log in to your ticketmaster accounts and look under active vouchers or something. the website has been crashing becuase of this news breaking just an FYI so keep trying

This is the result of a class action in lawsuit that started years ago.

But yes we all have lots of $2.25 discount codes, and you can combine a max of 2 per order, so we can save $5 on a ticket, aka maybe half a fee. I also have a lot of codes to get a pair of free General Admission tickets to TBD events. The codes are good until 2020 so it's not a thing to freak out over not being able to get into tonight.

Also this has nothing to do with "overpriced Broadway shows." It's the result of TM overcharging for fees and shipping.

Here's the original thread about it.

So. Nobody else can see any eligible events listed yet, can they? 

I wish they would have released the list of eligible shows at the same time they released the vouchers, but I guess that would have caused an even bigger frenzy than the vouchers becoming available. Fingers crossed we can get some good Broadway deals out of this - I have two codes each redeemable for two free tickets to a show, and two codes each for $2.25 off.

Also believe the vouchers will only be valid for venues owned by Live Nation. In the NY area, you are looking at venues like Jones Beach and the new Coney Island Amphitheater. 

Well, y'all broke their site - I can't find out how many vouchers I have.

Greased Lightening, Are you making sure the shows are Ticketmaster shows and not Telecharge?  Or it may take 24 hours until you can use the first voucher.  I don't know.  You would think they had enough time to get the kinks out.

I'm not trying to use them for Broadway shows, as no venues are currently operated under Live Nation – so no Telecharge. I am using the code for venue eligible shows and its still not working. Perhaps I need to wait the 24 hours before using the codes. I'll try again tomorrow! 

15 pairs of free tickets for "Live Nation Concerts".  Why am I not the least bit excited.  I'm not much of a "concert person" other than maybe classical or some sort of "sit down" cabaret type thing.  Anxious to see what these options might be.  And without reading all the FAQ, does that mean I can claim two tickets and give them away to friends?

So the 15 vouchers for $2.25 each can only be used two at a time but for any Ticketmaster Broadway show?  I guess that's something I can at least use.  But here's a question. Can they be used if I buy my tickets at a theatre boxoffice -- or can I only use the $5 to help offset the $12 or $15 Ticketmaster fees if I book online?

 

 

 

 

I at first was excited as I have a lot of voucher and free tickets, but the more I thought about it, this is Ticketmaster's way of settling without much money.  The shows eligible I am guessing will be ones that have not sold out in their venues, so those tickets would have gone unsold anyway.  Also, using $5 off an order, they probably are still making money on a ticket purchase.

I thought LiveNation was a separate lawsuit? Because I've been getting vouchers and emails about that lawsuit for years already.

I believe Live Nation is the parent company of Ticketmaster. Perhaps there was a separate lawsuit, but all of my e-mails and FAQs regarding my Ticketmaster venues have mentioned Live Nation venues only are eligible for redemption.
