re: Has anyone gotten an email from Ticketmaster about a discount

It's crap. I have 17 free tix as well but when I tried to actually use the voucher code it said it wouldn't work. I think what's going on is once an event's tix go on sale, you have to rush to use them with your code because there is a small # that they'll allow per show and once that fills up you're screwed. No surprise they're making it extremely difficult to use. Very frustrating

The detail is in the fine print as to why the free ticket vouchers will be tough to redeem.

Ticketmaster needs to have $10.5 million worth of redemption a year for each of the next 4 years between discount vouchers ($2.25 each), UPS vouchers ($5 each) and free tickets. Obviously they would rather have the majority of that $10.5 million be from the discount vouchers as they would still be receiving revenue from the transaction. If they get $10.5 million in redemption over the next 12 months in just discount, and UPS vouchers, none of the free ticket vouchers will be valid over the next 12 months.
