The good news is Ticketmaster is distributing free vouchers for concerts. The bad news is none of the concerts is in the Twin Cities. At least not yet.
You may have heard that the behemoth ticket agency settled a class-action lawsuit. It all started in 2003 because two Wilco fans were upset with the Ticketmaster processing fees and the fact that agency was profiting from them.
Eventually, this turned into a class-action suit and Ticketmaster recently announced a settlement for customers who bought tickets between Oct. 21, 1999, and Feb. 27, 2013.
If that's you, you may be eligible for free ticket vouchers or a small discount on tickets and/or shipping. About 57 million people have received $386 million in vouchers and discount codes, according to the New York Times.
As mentioned, none of the eligible shows is in Minnesota. The concerts, which are at venues controlled by promoter Live Nation, include a wide range – Bob Dylan, Kenny Chesney, the Cure, Snoop Dogg, Alabama Shakes, Zac Brown Band, Keith Urban, Barenaked Ladies, Brantley Gilbert, Passion Pit, Pitbull, Darius Rucker, Gwen Stefani, Soul Asylum, Slipknot, G-Eazy, Steely Dan, Weezer and L7.

The list will be updated. The vouchers expire in 2020.
