Did You Get Free Tickets From Ticketmaster?
A bit of a quick PSA.
If you’ve paid Ticketmaster’s exorbitant “service fees” for event tickets since 1999, check your account.
They’ve settled a $400 million dollar lawsuit and have returned the money in the form of free concert tickets and discount codes for future events.
Long story short, if you’ve purchased a ticket through Ticketmaster in the past ~17 years, you may have free tickets sitting in your account – most of their emails about this have been going to spam folders.

My free tickets
I’ve gone to a few concerts in the past ~17 years or so. I had 4 free tickets to 2 separate events and ~$5 to use toward any ticket purchase.
The list of “eligible events” is still being finalized. But it’s worth it to see what’s there. Who knows, maybe you’ll be able to use the tickets for something worthwhile. They have an expiration date 4 years into the future.
If you’re like me, you never received an email about this. Many of you might have free tickets or discount codes sitting in your account, too.
Bottom line
This is an easy win if you’ve purchased tickets via Ticketmaster since 1999. Here’s the lawsuit page.
You may have free tickets or discount codes in your account, but most email providers are flagging the notifications as spam.
We don’t know which events will be eligible for the free tickets yet. But hey, you might’ve already paid for them over the years with Ticketmaster’s crazy “service fees.” Worth a look, anyway.
I’m also interested in data points – let me know what you find in your account!
