Class-action lawsuit: See Tickets customers have 8 days to check status in $3.25 million settlement
See Tickets customers have eight days to see if they benefit from the ticketing service’s multimillion-dollar settlement to resolve claims that it failed to protect sensitive consumer information from hackers last year.
The data breach lawsuit alleged that See Tickets, which sells tickets to roughly 20 million people a year, violated its account terms by failing to keep hackers from stealing payment card information. See Tickets agreed to the $3.25 million settlement without admitting to being at fault.
Thousands of concertgoers could now be eligible to receive payments and reimbursements for up to over $7,000 for identity theft, fraud, and extraordinary losses from See Ticket.
Eligible class members could receive up to $2,000 for expenses such as bank fees, communication charges, and travel costs. They could also be eligible to receive up to $5,000 from the $3.25 million settlement for extraordinary losses.
In order to receive a piece of the settlement, customers must file a valid claim form by Oct. 20. Class members must also provide proof of their losses, which include account statements, credit reports, tax documents, and police reports.
The news comes after See Tickets reported a data breach after they were targeted in a recent cybersecurity attack, per the attorney general of Maine. The ticket services company reported finding unusual activity in some of its e-commerce websites last May.
