Earlier this year Ticketmaster gave out vouchers for free concert tickets and discount codes to customers who made purchases in a certain period of time that overpaid for fees to settle a lawsuit Schlesinger VS Ticketmaster.I was one of the recipients of  this award.I attend  A LOT of music events and I always do it signed into my account with Ticketmaster. I was so excited when I found out about this I received and still have in my account Discount codes for 30 concerts AND FREE tickets to another 30 shows.The award was based on how much you had spent on tickets purchased during that time frame.

The way that redemption works is you click on the link to accesss the shows that you may use the codes for---DISAPPOINTMENT NUMBER ONE -- you are going to "give" me a list of shows that I can use them for and not what I choose.Shows that are not even in my area.

I complained on Live Nation and Ticketmaster Facebook pages and was told to keep checking that more shows would become available.

DISAPPOINTMENT NUMBER TWO-26 pages of listings of shows and every single one of them have a red notation that all vouchers have been used for this event.None were ever made available,I checked everyday.

DISAPPOINTMENT NUMBER THREE-Now it is months later I still have active vouchers in my account that I have been unable to use. After contacting Ticketmaster about not being able to use them I was told that they have fulfilled all the vouchers they were required to redeem to settle the lawsuit.So I am pretty much SOL

So evidently I am a pretty good customer judging the amount of vouchers I got but Ticketmaster seems to not care to disappoint me,that customer.

But it really is not like you have a choice of where to get event tickets most of the time.Live Nation and Ticketmaster are the same company.They pretty much have the monopoly on this business.Occasionally a band or event will run their own ticket sales.

What did this lawsuit fix? I purchased a pair of tickets yesterday and $50 turned into $80 just from fees.I printed my own tickets.No shipping -all fees $30

Ridiculous -but what other choice do we have? These secondary sites like Vivid Seats,Stub Hub ect not only scalp the tickets by charging astronomical prices on the tickets but also have expensive fees.(and someone please explain to me when scalping became legal) 

I really want to write my congressman because some sort of regulation needs to come into play,but with all that is wrong in our little USA I really feel like I don't want to bother them with this trivial first world problem.All I know is whoever makes those bumper stickers with the Ticketmaster logo "TICKETBASTARDS" sure has it right.GREEDY CORPORATE AMERICA at its best.
