Free Concert Tickets, Discounts Part of Live Nation Settlement

Hundreds of thousands stand to benefit from a preliminary court settlement with the concert promoter over the issue of ticket prices.

Did you go online to buy a ticket to a Live Nation show at the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel between June 2003 and June 2011?

You may get an email saying you are eligible for up to three lawn seats to a designated show, $5 discounts on tickets, and up to three free tickets to Live Nations shows in Holmdel and Camden. 

According to published reports, a federal judge approved a preliminary settlement Monday with concert promoter Live Nation which was accused of violating consumer protection laws by inflating ticket prices with a $6 parking fee whether patrons used the parking lot or not, and jacking up the price of tickets on "No Service Fee Wednesday." A final hearing will be be held in March. 

Box office purchases are not included in the settlement, according to NJ.com.
