They were forced to give away some free ticket vouchers as part of a class-action lawsuit. Now, people find that those vouchers are not worth very much.

Ticketmaster hits a bad note with music fans
Last week, music fans were excited to redeem free ticket vouchers that were part of a class-action lawsuit settled by Ticketmaster. Now, many are outraged to find out that the vouchers are only good for a limited list of concerts.
More:
Over 750 shows that concertgoers could have used the vouchers for have sold out, and a lot of those performances did not include some of the summer’s hottest acts. Instead of being eligible to see Beyonce’s tour for free, the vouchers can be used for many tribute bands or cover bands.
Even with the B-list acts, music fans in 24 states can’t see concerts because there are no shows in their states that allow the free ticket vouchers.
“Over $10 million worth of ticket vouchers have been redeemed and the eligible events have been closed,” said a statement from Ticketmaster.
Adhering to the letter and not the spirit of the law. That is evil in my book...
