Ticketmaster Customers, Get Ready For Your (Tiny) Class-Action Payout
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."
Then they should take a stack of coupons as their share, since that's what the class members are getting.... coupons off future ticketmaster ticket purchases.
Hey, if cash is good enough for the lawyers, it's good enough for the class members too!
This is a complete scam along with most class action lawsuits as the only ones who profit from this are the bloodsucking lawyers!!! Want proof? Ticketmaster is required to pay out $11.25 million in customer refunds, although this could increase based on how many people bother to dig up their tickets from 10 years ago. The two plaintiffs who started this each get 20k. And what do the lawyers get? $16.5 million. Biggest scam on the planet.
Tesla was a genius. Edison however was a overrated hack who liked to torture puppies.
If the payout to consumers is in the form of a voucher, it would only be fair that the the lawyer's fee is paid out in the form of a Ticketmaster voucher also.
"If the lawyers hadn't run the case, no one would have got anything. "
No one did get anything.
Except for the lawyers.
