This is just stupid as far as I'm concerned. $1.50 isn't worth the trouble to apply for a refund.

Wow. This is stupid. It'll cost them more to process it than what they're paying, and anyway, there's no way I'm going to remember how many tickets I bought through TM since 1999. Please.

Yep - that's kind of a joke alright. The problem with class action suits, despite the good itentions, is that the only one's that profit from them are lawyers. I guess it's still good in a way if you hurt the company's pocketbook. But, the buying public, of course, still loses when the company jacks up the prices to pay for the losses.

Your right. You can bet that they will recover the cost of this law suite and the concert goers are going to be the ones to pay. Irving sure won't be out any money when it's all over.

Plus, it apparently maxes out at 17 tickets. Therefore, the most you can get, no matter how many tickets you bought in that ten year period, is $25.50 - and it seems the award is not cash, but rather a voucher to be used on your next TM purchase.

Yeah, so you have to BUY another ticket to use money that is in effect a refund for overcharging! Lol!

Wonder does the ruling carry overseas or is it just the US? I'm an awful divil for KEEPING my stubs! Although there are some I would NEVER give away for all the refunds in the world!

This is actually good. Otherwise, the professional ticket scalpers would make a fortune. Because they buy thru TM and then pass those charges and more on to those who buy their tickets. So they'd get refunded a lot of money that they wouldn't need to then pay out.

As I was reading the email we all received, I had to chuckle when I read about the voucher thing. Gee, thanks!!!

[sodascouts]

I just received an e-mail about this. It says the credits are made to your TM account automatically! At first I was jazzed, thinking I'd get $25.50 off my next purchase without having to lift a finger. While it's true I won't have to lift a finger, the $25.50 off my next purchase won't happen. Instead, it says I can only get $3 off per purchase for up to 48 months. That means I have to buy NINE more tickets to fully claim my credits!!!

TM might actually wind up MAKING money off this settlement if enough people make ticket purchases they wouldn't have otherwise made in order to claim their credits.

[Glennsallnighter]

Lol! That's crazy! Basically they are making you guys buy into the idea that if there's a discount to be had you will feel it's better value to buy the ticket! So you will. IMHO, if people were overcharged they are entitled to a direct and full refund, not a voucher scheme.

I've been checking TM everyday for the last several days for Bob Seger tickets and nothing good ever comes up.

Any other suggestions from anyone? My concert is Friday night and I really want to go, but not with bad seats.
