According to The Sun, Thousands of Americans may be eligible for payments exceeding $7,000 from a significant settlement related to a data breach involving See Tickets, a ticketing service that sells around 20 million tickets annually. The lawsuit stems from a cyberattack in September 2023, during which hackers reportedly stole payment card information, compromising consumer data. While See Tickets denies any wrongdoing, the company has agreed to pay $3.25 million to resolve the lawsuit.
Compensation Details for Affected Individuals
Class members who file valid claims could receive substantial reimbursement for various expenses incurred due to the data breach. Eligible individuals can claim up to $2,000 for losses related to:
- Bank fees
- Communication charges
- Interest on short-term loans
- Credit expenses
- Travel costs
In addition to these reimbursements, individuals suffering extraordinary losses from identity theft or fraud may be entitled to an additional $5,000 from the settlement.
Additional Benefits and California Subclass
Those involved in the lawsuit also have the option to receive either three years of free credit monitoring services or a pro-rata payment of up to $100. Moreover, a subclass of affected individuals from California is eligible for an additional $100 payment as part of the settlement.
Important Deadlines for Claimants
Individuals believing they are eligible for a payment from See Tickets must submit a valid claim form by October 20, 2024. To file a valid claim, class members must provide proof of their losses, which can include:

Other Settlement Opportunities
In addition to the See Tickets settlement, other significant settlements are also available for affected individuals. For instance, dozens of Americans may receive one-time payments of over $3,000 from a $5.1 million privacy settlement involving Magid Gloves. The lawsuit claims that Magid violated Illinois laws by using fingerprint time clocks and temperature scanners without providing proper disclosures about collecting biometric information. The company, which manufactures work gloves and protective equipment, has agreed to pay $5.175 million to resolve the class action lawsuit.
Tubi Class Action Settlement
Moreover, streaming service Tubi has agreed to pay $19.99 million to settle a class action lawsuit alleging that it shared users’ personal information with third parties without their consent, violating the Video Privacy Protection Act. Although Tubi denies wrongdoing, the settlement opens the door for thousands of users to potentially share in the payout. Class members can expect to receive an equal share of the net settlement fund, with the final amount depending on the total number of claimants.
