In 2018, Crystal Watch came forward with a lawsuit against Ticketmaster’s parent company, Live Nation. The lawsuit allegedly claimed that Ticketmaster’s marketing practises and how it displayed ticket prices and fees violated the Consumer Protection and Business Practises Act. The court issued a notice stating “no determination regarding the merits of those allegations,” and Ticketmaster denied the accusations. Regardless of that, Ticketmaster and Watch agreed on a $6,000,000 settlement.
Eligible Canadians will soon be able to file a claim to receive Ticketmaster credit. You need to have purchased a ticket through Ticketmaster between January and June of 2018. You may then receive an electronic gift card with up to $45 for the Ticketmaster website. The credit is transferable with no expiry date and can be used to make a one-time purchase. The credit is subject to some terms and conditions.
The window to claim the credit is not yet open but you are able to check the status for when it is!
