Ticketmaster Fee Class Action — Opt
See Details
Proof Required?
If you've ever bought concert tickets through Ticketmaster or Live Nation and felt like the fees were a little hard to swallow, you're not alone — and now there's a federal class action lawsuit that agrees with you. A court has certified a nationwide class action against Ticketmaster and Live Nation over their ticketing fee practices, meaning enough people were affected that this case can move forward as a group lawsuit.
This case covers ticket purchases made since 2010, which means millions of fans across the country could potentially be included. The lawsuit takes aim at the fees that get added on top of the ticket price — things like service fees, order processing fees, and other charges that tend to show up right before you hit 'confirm purchase.'
Importantly, this settlement page is currently focused on the **opt-out deadline of July 6, 2026**. That means if you do NOT want to be part of this class action (for example, if you want to sue Ticketmaster on your own), you need to opt out before that date. If you do nothing, you'll remain in the class. Keep reading to understand what that means for you.
Who Is Eligible?
You may be eligible to file a claim if you:
- You purchased tickets through Ticketmaster or Live Nation at any point since 2010
- You were charged service fees, order fees, or other add-on charges at the time of purchase
- You are a U.S. resident (this is a nationwide class action)
- Your purchase was for a concert, sporting event, or other live event ticketed through Ticketmaster or Live Nation's platform
- You have not previously released your claims against Ticketmaster or Live Nation related to ticketing fees
How Much Can You Get?
At this stage, specific payout amounts have not been announced. This case is still working through the legal process — the class has been certified, but a final settlement amount or payout per person has not yet been confirmed. Payouts in ticketing fee cases can vary widely depending on how much you spent in fees and how many people ultimately participate in the class.
Once a settlement amount is finalized and a claims process opens, Class Action Buddy will update this page with exact figures. In the meantime, the most important thing to know is the **opt-out deadline of July 6, 2026** — if you miss it and later want to pursue your own lawsuit, you may not be able to.
How to File Your Claim
Filing your claim is quick and easy:
- Check whether you purchased tickets through Ticketmaster or Live Nation after 2010 — if yes, you're likely already included in the class automatically
- Decide whether you want to stay in the class (no action needed) or opt out (you'll need to submit a formal opt-out request before July 6, 2026)
- If you're opting out, look for official opt-out instructions from the case administrator — check the official settlement website for details
- If you're staying in the class, hold tight — once a claims process opens, you'll need to submit a claim to receive any payout
- Download Class Action Buddy to get notified the moment a claim form becomes available, so you don't miss your chance to get paid

No — if you bought tickets through Ticketmaster or Live Nation since 2010, you're likely already included in the class automatically. You only need to take action if you want to opt OUT of the lawsuit, which requires submitting a formal opt-out request before July 6, 2026.
What does it mean to opt out of the Ticketmaster class action?
Opting out means you won't be part of the group lawsuit and won't receive any payout if a settlement is reached. However, it preserves your right to sue Ticketmaster or Live Nation on your own. Most people who want to receive a potential payout should stay in the class and do nothing.
How much money can I get from the Ticketmaster fee lawsuit?
