Ticketmaster Customers, Get Ready For Your (Tiny) Class-Action Payout

Posted by timothy on Sunday December 4, 2011 @10:53PM from the 16-million-for-the-lawyers dept.

An anonymous reader writes "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 because they profited from '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."

I just checked a recent ticket and it does indeed declare that charge correctly now. The 4 items mentioned are:
1. Cost of performance
2. Cost of venue
3. <illegible smudge>
4. Profit!
