If you bought tickets to the New York Renaissance Faire and were surprised by unexpected service fees at checkout, you may be entitled to compensation from a class action settlement. Renaissance Entertainment Productions, the company behind the popular New York Renaissance Faire, has agreed to a $1.9 million settlement to resolve claims that it failed to properly disclose service fees when customers purchased tickets. The lawsuit alleged that Renaissance Entertainment Productions added fees to ticket purchases without making them clear upfront — a practice sometimes called "drip pricing" or "junk fees." Shoppers claim they only discovered the extra charges late in the checkout process, or not at all until they saw their final receipt. The company has agreed to settle these claims without admitting any wrongdoing. If you purchased tickets to the New York Renaissance Faire and were charged service fees that weren't clearly disclosed at the start of your purchase, this settlement may put some money back in your pocket. Read on to find out if you qualify and how to file your claim.
