Ticket master lawsuit....

Post by boardkicker1015 »

I just looked at the ticketmaster site and I got the max of 17 free tickets to future shows. Did anyone one else get free tickets...I can't image how many tickets I actually bought over 10 yards...will Jimmy tickets be part of this since his tickets go through live nation.

I doubt it.
"Use this code to receive two free General Admission tickets for eligible events.
Note that these codes can be used only against eligible events, which are still being finalized."
I have
7 "UPS Discount Codes";
10 "Discount Codes";
and
10 "Free Ticket Codes"

I also have other email addresses I have used to purchase tickets over the years.
I need to check those as well.

Just went online & logged into my Ticketmaster Account. I Tried checking active vouchers. Message came back "we are currently experiencing difficulties. Please check back later." Not sure if that will be the link or not.

Same but only 1 UPS discount code.

Of course the fact that it's only Live Nation venues means nothing in state for me. Roadtrip or bust I guess. [smilie=noeyedear-shrugging.gif]

We have a House of Blues, which is a Live Nation venue. When I checked this morning, there weren't any shows listed for my HoB.

I have codes for 3 pairs of tickets, but...
"This code is potentially redeemable for two General Admission tickets for certain Live Nation concert events subject to availability and limitations. Please be aware that due to limited availability, we expect these settlement ticket codes to be redeemed quickly."

"Potentially redeemable.. subject to availability and limitations.. limited availability..."
Jeesh, I'd say that those codes aren't worth anything close to the 3 X $2.25 discount codes they gave me!

It makes me feel ashamed that I own Ticketmaster! :oops:

Our daughter got a few freebies and codes, etc. She was able to find a concert about 2 hours from us and redeemed 2 freebies today.

No shows near you on the list that was released today doesn't mean no shows near you forever. The vouchers are good for 4 years, there are going to be more events added. That list doesn't have any shows at House of Blues. Since most, if not all, House of Blues are Live Nation venues, I expect that to change. The vouchers are also only good for general admission tickets. I'd much rather go to a show at a small venue than get stuck on the lawn with a bunch of drunks at one of the big amphitheaters. Your mileage may vary.

That's my take too. To be patient and plan on using the vouchers down the road. Plus I'm hopeful (I think) that Live Nation takes over some semi-local venue in the future. Plus, I'm sure many people are trying to use those vouchers ASAP. It COULD actually cause a spike in Resale tickets because I'm sure many WILL just scoop the freebies & try to make a few bucks on them.

I checked this morning and the list has been updated. There are 7 shows listed for my local House of Blues, 5 of them are tribute bands. :lol:
