I am very confused and disappointed to read this about Ticketmaster. It is just wrong. Luckily I had the time to read the fine print.

Oh, and then I reported them to the FBI thru the Cybercrime website…

I received rebates for the first 2 concerts, have been waiting for last one. After 3 attempts to contact them, they finally tell me only 1 rebate per household. So I’m paying for a subscription I do not want? I will be contacting the New York State attorney generals office this week to see if They will have any input.

I contacted care@livenation.com. I was given that email via a complaint I posted on Twitter.

I definitely got the feeling that it wasn’t ever coming unless I pestered them. Even after a rep told me the check was sent, I didn’t get it for another week after I emailed the rep back saying I hadn’t received it yet.

The whole thing just has ‘rip off’ written all over it. They are flat out scamming people but can’t get sued because if you pester them enough for the $20 they’ll eventually pay you back.

The lawsuit I linked to above from a DECADE ago was settled out of court and the details are private. I suspect that Live Nation changed their practices just enough to not get sued successfully yet still take advantage of customers.

No info on the form of how to “follow-up” on the rebate like normal. So sounds like I just wait & see…

I’m tempted to think they would only give the rebate once, if at all…even though we are supposedly paying for this already with each ticket we buy…?
