SeatGeek settlement: $7.75M for Nevada ticket buyers, due Jan 5

What the SeatGeek settlement is about

The case is Mars Carbonell v. SeatGeek, Inc., No. 2:24-cv-02087, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada. The plaintiff says SeatGeek did not show the total cost of electronic tickets, including fees, before customers picked their tickets. The claims rest on the Nevada Ticket Reseller Law and the Nevada Deceptive Trade Practices Act. This is the kind of "drip pricing" dispute covered in our hidden fee settlements guide.

SeatGeek denies the allegations and any wrongdoing. The settlement ends the case without a finding of fault. Details of this and other fee cases are on our SeatGeek settlement page.

Who qualifies for the SeatGeek settlement

The class is people who bought electronic tickets to events in Nevada from SeatGeek's website or mobile app and were charged fees, between November 7, 2020 and May 12, 2025. Where you live doesn't matter; the event has to be in Nevada. Tickets to events in other states are not covered, and tickets bought on other sites are not either. Check old confirmation emails for the venue and the SeatGeek fee line. Our guide to checking if you're part of a class action covers other ways to confirm.

How much the SeatGeek settlement pays

The fund is $7,750,000. Payments to class members, notice and administration costs, attorneys' fees and a service award for the class representative all come out of it. Class counsel may ask for up to one-third of the fund, and the representative may receive a $5,000 service award; the court can approve less.

What is left is split pro rata, based on the total fees SeatGeek kept from your qualifying purchases. Bigger fee totals mean bigger shares, and more claims mean smaller ones. No dollar estimate has been announced, so treat any number you see online as a guess. See what no-proof settlements typically pay.

Is the SeatGeek settlement legit?

Yes. It has an official site, a federal case number and a court hearing date, and the administrator is Simpluris. A real claim never asks for your card number or a fee. If a message pushes you to a different website, go to the official address yourself. For more, read how to spot settlement scams, and compare with our SeatGeek page.

What happens after you file

Approved claims are paid 90 days after the judge grants final approval at the January 12, 2027 fairness hearing, assuming there are no appeals. You can be paid through PayPal, Venmo, Zelle or a check, and checks expire 180 days after they are issued, so cash yours promptly. Read more on how settlement payments are sent.
