Millions of Ticketmaster Customers To Receive Discounted Tickets Thanks To A Lawsuit Settlement

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — Millions of Ticketmaster customers are being offered free and discounted tickets due to a 13-year-old lawsuit.

The lawsuit, first filed in 2003, alleged that Ticketmaster was charging "excessive and deceptive" fees.

Ticketmaster denies the claims, but settled the lawsuit in April and agreed to issue $45 million worth of cash, discounts, and tickets to U.S. customers who made purchases on the their website between Oct. 1999 and Feb. 2013.

Customers affected by the "order processing fee" will receive a ticket code in their accounts, which can be redeemed for two general admission tickets to selected events and venues owned and operated by Live Nation entertainment.

The company has set up a web page where it says they will provide a list of eligible events the vouchers will work for.
