Log into your Ticketmaster accounts. Go to your Accounts page, on the left side click the Active Vouchers link. There are a bunch of discount vouchers as well as Free Tickets to upcoming events. It’s going to be updated with a list of the Free Concerts that are eligible soon. My account had 17 Free Tickets along with all the discount coupons.
This is from a class action lawsuit regarding their fee gouging and anyone that bought from TM from about 1999-2016 was automatically activated as a beneficiary of the settlement.
I have 5 ticket vouchers (10 tickets), and 5 discount vouchers for $2.25 each. Some of my Facebook friends have 15-20 pairs of free tickets! I’ve been to a shitload of concerts since '99, but apparently haven’t bought a ton of tickets through TM. This lawsuit was filed in 2003, so it’s taken 13 years to settle and pay out! I’ll take the five shows, I’m not complaining. Curious if TM had to lower their fees after (I haven’t really noticed).
The $2.25 might be good for the print-and-mail UPS fee. Curious to see what concerts will be applicable, and how this actually works (the vouchers are good until 2020, but why so long?)
Yeah, I’m curious to see what the eligibility requirements for use of these vouchers is too. I thought each voucher was just for one ticket . . . if for pairs that’s even better (34 tickets, hahahaha!!!).
I see a fair number of shows, but I think mine is even higher than most as I usually end up being the guy that buys all the tickets if we have a small group. So I’m probably 3-4 times heavier on the purchases than the normal semi-frequent show goer.
I rarely see the big ticket shows anyway, so if these free vouchers can get me some shows at the smaller venues I’ll be stoked. And a 4 year window is VERY welcome as I don’t usually see more than a show a month anyway.
I can only imagine the awful shows that will end up being “eligible”.
Yeah, I’m tempering my enthusiasm a bit.
I’d be stoked, though if they just say, “Good up to $30” or something so we’re not actually expected to decide whether we want to see Imagine Dragons and HellYeah.
I’m always buying tickets for something anyway, so even all the $2.50 and $5.00 coupons are free money in my world.
If they opened up free tickets to any show of a certain pricepoint, then they’d have to pay whoever put on the shows you decided to get, and would likely have to pay full price or close to it. Far more likely is that they’ll cut a deal with Livenation or someone big and set up a handful of shows that are relatively cheap to put on and hold them in oversized venues, so they can claim that everyone had a chance to redeem them. After all, it’s not their fault you couldn’t make it to Maroon 5 in LA, Barenaked Ladies in NYC or Jason Mraz in Atlanta.

Da hell. Nothing for me on my account, Ive bought my share of tickets online and remember ordering over the phone? One time getting tickets for me and a girl for Pearl Jam in 1994 in Chicago, the ticketmaster lady on the phone said “oh youve got seats in the front row,” Im thinking yeah sure right front row! But they were.
A few of my friends just posted that their ticket vouchers are “gone”, so I checked my account again, and sure as shit, the ticket vouchers have disappeared. I now just have five Discount Code vouchers showing. Found this article in a search:
Ok, so now my ticket vouchers are back, and there is a list of concerts (currently 9 pages), mostly crap, but I think I’m going to use a couple for Def Leppard, since I haven’t seen them before. I may be saving the rest for next year.
