(blackmediaSCOOP) If you have used Ticketmaster’s website to buy tickets between October 21, 1999 and October 19, 2011, you’re about to get paiiiiid! Well kind of… a $1.50 per ticket.
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 saying so.
Ticketmaster LEGALLY will be able to continue to profit off these transactions — they just have to say they’re doing so on their website.
According to court documents of a proposed class action settlement, , 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.
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.
Don’t expect your credits quite yet, though. Credits won’t be issued before April 15, 2012.
