Latest News About Ticketmaster Fee Class Action

Here’s a quick update on the latest publicly reported Ticketmaster fee class action developments.

• Canada: A settlement related to deceptive “drip pricing” in Canada was finalized in Regina in early 2025. Eligible Canadian customers who bought Ticketmaster tickets in 2018 could receive up to about CAD 45 per person in Ticketmaster credit, with the total settlement around CAD 6 million. This case did not involve a finding of wrongdoing by Ticketmaster, but a court approved the settlement to resolve the claims. [CBC News; Regina Court of King’s Bench decision coverage, 2025][1]

• United States: There have been ongoing high-profile antitrust and consumer-protection actions against Ticketmaster and its parent Live Nation, including certification and litigation developments in late 2024 through 2025. Reports indicate a nationwide class action seeking damages for alleged systemic overcharging and hidden fees, with potential for substantial damages under U.S. antitrust and consumer-protection statutes. Those cases discuss widespread fee practices in primary ticketing and related services since 2010, with thousands to potentially millions of tickets affected.

• Ongoing status and next steps: In the U.S., plaintiffs’ counsel have been pursuing discovery, class certification, and potential trial or settlement discussions across multiple cases alleging hidden or deceptive fees. In Canada, the regulator-style settlement has already provided credits to eligible consumers, with administration and eligibility rules determined by the Regina court.

What this means for you

• If you purchased Canadian events via Ticketmaster in 2018, you may be eligible for a credit under the Canadian settlement (up to CAD 45 per person, credits transferable but single-use). If you’re in Canada and did this, you should look for communications from the court-appointed administrator or Ticketmaster about your eligibility and how to redeem credits.

• In the U.S., the landscape remains evolving with several potential class actions about fees and pricing practices. If you’ve experienced or anticipate participation in related actions, watch for class-certification orders, court schedules, and any settlement announcements from plaintiffs’ counsel.
