Have you signed in to your Ticketmaster account lately?
Any Ticketmaster customer who purchased tickets between Oct. 21, 1999, and Feb. 27, 2013, could receive ticket vouchers, $2.25 discounts on tickets or $5 discounts on shipping. The credits come by way of a 13-year-old lawsuit against Ticketmaster over the fees it charged for ticket sales.
Sign into your Ticketmaster account and look for “Active Vouchers.” If you’re eligible for credits, you should see them here.
There are, of course, catches. The vouchers aren’t applicable to every event. Ticketmaster has a growing list of concerts to which vouchers may apply — that list is at livemu.sc/28LEqHN. It’s not that searchable or sortable, so be prepared to do some clicking around. Also, the vouchers expire in June 2020.
The other main catch is that you probably can’t use vouchers yet.
It’s unclear how many vouchers Ticketmaster will award. It has to pay out at least $10.5 million a year, and $42 million over four years. So if people don’t redeem credits, it may have to release more.
Oh, and then check your Amazon account — credits are appearing in the “Gift Cards” section because of the U.S. government lawsuit of Apple over e-book prices.
