When 75 or more similar arbitration demands are filed by claimants represented by the same or coordinating law firms, the claims are processed under JAMS Mass Arbitration Procedures, with aggregate consumer filing fees capped at $2,500 and a JAMS Process Administrator overseeing preliminary matters.

This provision establishes a distinct procedural track for coordinated consumer claims that meet the 75-demand threshold, which may affect the pace and structure of resolution for large-scale consumer disputes. The aggregate $2,500 consumer fee cap in mass arbitration contexts is operationally distinct from the $250 per-claimant filing fee applicable to individual arbitrations.
Interpretive note: The operational implications of the JAMS Process Administrator's authority and the interaction between mass arbitration procedures and individual arbitration rights depend on JAMS external rules that may be updated independently of this document.
Under this clause, coordinated consumer claims filed by claimants represented by the same or cooperating law firms that reach 75 or more demands trigger a separate JAMS administrative process, with a JAMS Process Administrator overseeing procedural matters and an aggregate consumer fee cap of $2,500. The agreement specifies that mass arbitration procedures do not convert individual arbitrations into class or representative proceedings.

"NOTICE REGARDING MASS ARBITRATION: In accordance with the JAMS Mass Arbitration Procedures and Guidelines, a Mass Arbitration is defined as 75 or more similar demands for arbitration filed against the same party or related parties by individual claimants represented by either the same law firm or law firms acting in coordination. For the avoidance of doubt, a Mass Arbitration will be administered in accordance with the JAMS Mass Arbitration Procedures and Guidelines, except as modified by the Terms. As indicated, the JAMS Mass Arbitration Procedures and Guidelines are available at https://jamsadr.com. In a Mass Arbitration, JAMS may designate a Process Administrator to hear and determine preliminary and administrative matters... When a Mass Arbitration is filed pursuant to these Terms, the parties agree to pay JAMS's initial filing fee as set forth in the JAMS Mass Arbitration Procedures Fee Schedule, available at https://jamsadr.com. If JAMS' Mass Arbitration Procedures Fee Schedule is applicable, the most that consumers, in the aggregate, may be required to pay is $2,500.Excerpt from Ticketmaster's Terms of Use
1. REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: The FAA governs the enforcement of mass arbitration procedures as part of the broader arbitration agreement. JAMS Mass Arbitration Procedures and Guidelines, incorporated by reference, are external rules that may be updated independently of this agreement; the document does not address how modifications to JAMS rules affect existing disputes. State arbitration law is expressly displaced. 2. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The 75-demand threshold and the Process Administrator mechanism create a procedural framework that may affect how consumer advocacy groups and plaintiff's firms approach coordinated claims against Ticketmaster. The aggregate fee cap protects consumers in mass arbitration but the overall structure may limit the practical resolution speed for individual claimants within a mass filing. 3. JURISDICTION FLAGS: The California arbitrator selection rules cited elsewhere in the arbitration section (Cal. Civ. Proc. Code sections 1281.9 and 1281.91(b)(1)) apply specifically in mass arbitration contexts, which may create procedural complexity for non-California claimants within a mass filing. 4. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: The designation of law firms acting in coordination as a trigger for mass arbitration status may affect how legal counsel structures multi-claimant representations. The Process Administrator role, including authority to determine preliminary and administrative matters, introduces a non-arbitrator decision-maker whose authority scope may require evaluation in specific disputes. 5. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should monitor the JAMS Mass Arbitration Procedures and Fee Schedule for updates, given that the agreement incorporates those external rules by reference and changes to them may affect Ticketmaster's financial obligations in mass arbitration scenarios.
