Fandango has settled a $9 million class action lawsuit, which alleged that the company failed to properly disclose a convenience fee for online movie ticket purchases in New York state, violating the New York Arts and Cultural Affairs Law. The lawsuit claimed that this fee was misleading to consumers, amounting to a bait-and-switch practice. However, the court has not determined any wrongdoing, as the case was settled.
The total amount of the settlement is $9,000,000.
The New York Arts and Cultural Affairs Law (NYACAL) covers a range of regulations related to arts and culture in New York State. It includes rules governing public entertainment, which Fandango allegedly violated by concealing its convenience fees, as outlined in the $9 million settlement.
You may qualify for a payout if you are a U.S. resident who paid a convenience fee for electronic movie tickets purchased through Fandango’s website, mobile app, or any other Fandango-operated platform for movies shown in theaters within New York state between August 29, 2022, and March 11, 2024.
You can choose between a $5.00 cash payment or a $10.00 voucher for “Fandango at Home,” depending on your preference when filing the claim.
