What it is

You cannot band together with other Ticketmaster customers to bring a group lawsuit or class action — every dispute must be pursued individually, which makes it economically impractical to challenge small overcharges or widespread policy violations.

This analysis describes what Ticketmaster's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

This waiver means that even if Ticketmaster overcharges millions of customers by a small amount each — a classic class action scenario — no group of consumers can pool resources to sue collectively, making legal redress practically impossible for low-value individual claims.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
  • Opt Out of Arbitration
    Within 30 days
    The class action waiver is tied to the arbitration agreement. To preserve your class action rights, opt out of arbitration in writing within 30 days of account creation using the process described in the arbitration section of the Terms of Use.
