Update: Ticketmaster drastically reduced the number of concerts eligible for use of free vouchers. The information has been updated.
After being sued in 2003 for having “excessive and misleading” fees linked to ticket purchases, Ticketmaster has finally agreed to pay its users back.
The company gave out almost $400 million worth of discount codes and free ticket vouchers. You can see the entire lawsuit here.
If you bought tickets through the site between October of 1999 and February of 2013, you’ve received anywhere from one to 17 vouchers.
There are three types of discounts: a voucher for $2.25 toward any ticket, $5 toward UPS delivery and two free tickets to select shows at any Live Nation venue.

You can check your account for these.
There is fine print. While the $2.25 can be used for any event, the free ticket vouchers can only be put toward general admission to certain shows that have already been decided upon.
UPDATE: There were originally more than 30 shows eligible for free ticket vouchers. That has since changed. Now there are only four.
