hahninator Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 This isn't solely Linkin Park news, but if you've bought tickets to see them or any other band from Ticketmaster (1999-2013) in the United States, then you are entitled to either some free tickets or vouchers to future shows. From CNN, "Millions of Ticketmaster customers are getting offers for free tickets because of a 13-year-old lawsuit.The company planned to finish sending out free tickets vouchers "on or around June 18" to U.S. customers who made purchases on its site between October 1999 and February 2013 and paid an "Order Processing Fee" that was never refunded.The offers stem from a lawsuit first filed in 2003 alleging Ticketmaster was charging "excessive and deceptive" fees." Your account should show your "active vouchers", which you can find by typing "ticketmaster active vouchers" into Google, or clicking here and logging in. The free tickets and vouchers expire in June 2020 and may only be used for certain specific events. As of right now, it looks like only General Admission tickets will be given out for free (no word on what comparable seats in arenas will be). The event list has not been published yet, but keep checking this page or sign up here to be emailed when the list is active. Hopefully Linkin Park is included on the list of events for their next tour in the United States, but if not, you can at least use your free tickets/vouchers for some event...likely beyond just music (sports, etc).

Smarky Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Worth stating that this is US only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broman Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 I got three vouchers, only worth $2.25 each. Nothing special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astat Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 I was one of the people who opted in to the class-action lawsuit, so I received legal correspondence emails throughout the process. Scratching my head about the free tickets being added, because all the information I ever received was that you'd get one voucher for $2.25 for each transaction you made with Ticketmaster during the period covered by the lawsuit. Never heard anything about free tickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never heard anything about free tickets. I heard the same, but my account shows 12 free pairs for 24 total free tickets, plus about $80 in vouchers. You can't stack but I think 2 vouchers at once for a $5 off, so....ouch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astat Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 3 vouchers and 3 pairs of tickets for me. Huh. Absolutely nothing in the state of Minnesota on the list of eligible events, though. I'll keep checking back periodically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaZz Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Wow this is amazing I got a lot of vouchers. I hope they actually work. Thanks so much for this news I would never even have known. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hahninator Posted June 22, 2016 Author Share Posted June 22, 2016 No problem. I think it'll be 2 weeks before you can properly use them, but the events list is slowly going up. Slipknot, Goo Goo Dolls, Train, Rob Thomas, Disturbed/Breaking Benjamin/Alter Bridge/Saint Asonia, etc are on there....good shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
