Audienceview Ticketing $435,000 Settlement for Data Breach

If you received a notification from Audienceview Ticketing Corporation about a data incident in February 2023, you may be eligible to claim up to $5,000 from a class action settlement.

Audienceview Ticketing Corporation has agreed to pay $435,000 to settle a class action lawsuit for allegedly failing to protect payment card information adequately, leading to a data breach.

Who can submit a claim?

To be part of the Settlement Class, you must have received a notification from Audienceview Ticketing Corporation indicating that your payment card information was or may have been compromised in the Data Incident.

How much can class members get?

Eligible class members can claim different types of compensation based on their circumstances:

• Reimbursement for Out-of-Pocket Expenses: Up to $5,000 for documented losses directly related to the data breach.
• Compensation for Lost Time: Up to $100 for up to 4 hours spent dealing with issues related to the breach, compensated at $25 per hour.
• Alternative Cash Payment: A flat payment of $75 if you choose not to claim for out-of-pocket expenses or lost time.

These compensations are subject to a pro rata reduction if the total claims exceed the Net Settlement Fund. For example, if the Net Settlement Fund is $300,000 and claims total $600,000, each claim would be reduced by 50%.

Proof needed for some claims
