So apparently there was a class action lawsuit with ticket master over their ridiculous fees, and they're paying in the form of free tickets/vouchers.

http://gawker.com/check-your-ticketmaster-account-you-probably-have-free-1782209001

Not totally sure what these vouchers are all good for, but my main ticketmaster account (which ive bought a lot of football tickets through in addition to concerts and the like) has like a dozen free ticket vouchers for two to eligible events, whatever those are.

Worth taking a look.

I'm going to the USA v Aegentina match on Tuesday. Those tickets were not eligible for the vouchers. Dang it!

I think my notice said something like you get $3.50 off per ticket for the next few tickets. For me, that was a big worthless wtf! And, damn! Ticketmaster's attorneys did a good job whoever they are.

I have 17 pairs of GA tickets to 'select' events (the list is not up yet, thinking somewhat crap events for the next few years), 17 $2.25 discounts (are these stack-able?) and 3 $5 off UPS shipping. LOL, if it's one discount per event, that's still a lot of event/ticket fees collected by TM. And a total pain in the ass for the consumer.

Oh, for Koream Bear, ticketmaster doesn't do cal events. SDSU does use ticketmaster, and maybe the hoops game at the new Sac Arena?

Thanks. I don't see any vouchers anyway in my account (at least my mobile version). Oh well.

typical class action lawsuit.........patrons get $3.50 off events that will never be redeemed and class action lawyers rake it millions in fees.

Better check those GA tickets again. I had some tix as well when I looked yesterday. When I checked today, they were all gone. Only the piddly discounts were still in my account.

Has anyone tried to redeem their voucher for the free shows.

The list of free shows is up (its not as bad as I thought - some decent shows at Shoreline like Weezer, counting crows, heart, rascal flatts).

I tried redeeming my free voucher, and it just gave me an error message. Anyone else having this problem?

I can't even get the site to load so yeah not surprised. I would think it will be very hard to use the vouchers at decent shows but hoping that there are some decent indie shows in SF that I can use the vouchers for.

thanks for the heads-up. i haven't used ticketmaster since undergrad, but i still have 6 vouchers, and some discount codes.

there's a disclaimer about what events those vouchers will cover, so not getting my hopes up for Cal-related events

edit: this is the events list, pretty much all Shoreline MV events only http://concerts.livenation.com/microsite/settlement

Exactly the same thing for me. I tried googling it and got nothing, glad I looked here again!

so basically we will never know when the website will start working again and the freebies will probably sell out immediately.

so basically the vouchers never worked AND its already sold out. lol what a $hit show

well at least I have my $2.25 discount that I can use when they charge me the $20 convenience fee

Hardly seems like it's worth the time & effort.
Probably start getting junk e-mail from every concert venue in California.

Sounds like crumbs for the peons.

http://qz.com/712107/if-you-thought-those-vouchers-from-the-ticketmaster-lawsuit-came-with-a-catch-youre-right/

This says only 100 free GA tickets per event available. So anyone up for Def Leppard in Albuquerque?

Would much rather have 1 voucher that works instead of 17 that aren't worth squat.

At least the $2.25 credit appear to stack.
