http://liveforlivemusic.com/news/here-are-the-shows-you-can-attend-using-those-free-ticketmaster-vouchers/

I'm sure this applies to all of us here.  Be sure to check your account.  I literally got 34 free tickets to use

Yep, same number here -- now if only there was a show in the list of eligible events that I wanted to go see...

I've got 30 tickets, plus 12 discounts. I tried every show listed at my local venue and couldn't get anything. This is another farce of a settlement. They only allow so many codes to be used for each show. Of course they won't let the public know how many are allowed. Good luck to all with codes. I'd love to hear if anyone is successful.

I scored two for Steely Dan and two for Tedeschi Trucks Band in Indy.  My neighbor also scored two for Ray LaMontange in Indy, I had already bought tickets for that one.

HA.  Having the same problem.  Not being allowed to use any of the "Ticket Voucher" codes I have.  I shouldnt have expected anything more from Ticketbastard.

That is great to see Steely Dan and Tedeschi Trucks for free. Nice job.
The only good show near San Diego is for Modest Mouse, but I already have a ticket. 
Does anybody know how to search by location? It seems like you have to search through six pages. How do you know if new shows come up?

Just click location and it will sort for you :) I also logged in today and it was sorted by my zip code.

Not only could I not use any of the vouchers I was given.  I've been charged $128 for orders that I was trying to make with the vouchers that wouldn't go through.  Of course, their customer service line has been busy all day.

My blood is boiling.  Fuck this company.

No shows available closer than 4+ hour drive.  :angry: 

There are only a few bands I'm willing to spend at least half a day in the car for...  :undecided:

I had quite a few headaches scoring these.  I feel lucky to work from home and have had the time to try non stop

TM and LN suck so bad it's hard to even put in words.

So nice of ticketbastard to just put up shitty shows for everyone to use their 'free' vouchers for...  :rolleyes:

i was able to use a voucher this AM. It was for Toby Keith and I feel gross. But my mom loves him and is going to be thrilled.

I keep trying with these new releases but get all the way thru to applying voucher and then get message that voucher cannot be used.  :huh:

For those who have gotten thru, are the tix truly free or is TM still getting their fee?

I got in at end of second wave yesterday but only for a couple of shows I wasn't interested in. Gave them to a friend whose musical tastes are different.
Hoping to have better timing "next week" & score Steely Dan /Winwood , etc. & join you guys in Indy!  :beer:

Keep in mind that we have 4 years to use these vouchers.

Is there a set time they are adding more shows or is it completely random?
The Boston list is pretty awful, and more importantly 100% sold out.

I think they are making things up as they go. Last post on the 24th just said they would
Be releasing some more eligible shows "next week"

for realz. so stupid. I see this being a major pain in the ass, as the scalpers also each have ridiculous numbers of codes and will yet again buck the system when new shows come online that you can use the codes with.
