    I submitted my claim it never asked what tickets were purchased and I have still not rec’d anything

  2. Daryn says:

    The settlement seems to be a joke considering we do not get to choose ANY concert as previously thought. The “settlement” emails were sent out almost a month ago and there is no list established yet of the concerts that will be eligible for the ticket vouchers. Seems to me like they’re hoping people accidentally delete the emails or something. This year is already almost a bust considering we’re in the summer concert season already and the good concerts will be sold out before the list ios ever published.

    1. Lillyane says:

      I agree @Daryn……all the summer concerts r just about sold out!!We will prob get the vouchers after the summer to use next yr for some crappy concerts!!!

  3. Jim says:

    Received e-mail giving codes to connect to the settlement lawsuit to receive the three free lawn seat tickets and $5 coupon. They choose which concert will be available for the free tickets over the next four years.

    TicketMaster artificially inflating ticket prices????? That’s the biggest understatement of the last two millenniums.

    i applied for live nation law suit tickets I had seen Toby Keith and Trace Adkins and never heard anything.

    Can you let me know what s going on.

    thanks

  7. Debbie C. says:

    I’ve seen numerous shows at PNC during that time frame, each time purchasing 4 tickets. The settlement doesn’t seem fair. What about the 4th person? What about the other shows I’ve been to? So the settlement is the same whether for 3 tickets or 40?

    Meanwhile, I recently looked into another show at PNC. I wanted to surprise my family with Luke Bryan tickets. Didn’t want to spend alot this time, so I checked for Lawn seats. I think PNC is now charging more to cover the cost of the suit! Lawn tickets were apx. $34 + a $12 ticketing fee!! Seriously? To sit in the damn dirt! I don’t think so!

  8. Claire says:

    i also submitted a claim but i have seen at least shows during this time frame. can I submit a claim for all three concerts?

  9. mike woodrow says:

    I filed a claim for the LiveNation Class Action, submitted it, and it was accepted.
    During the filing process, I was never asked about the artist or event I attended.

    Is there a problem?
