$9.4M Fandango Convenience Fee Class Action Settlement

Fandango Media has agreed to pay approximately $9.4 million to settle a class action alleging the company failed to properly disclose mandatory convenience fees on movie ticket purchases and offered expiring FanClub promotional discounts. If you bought Fandango tickets or a FanClub membership during the eligible periods, you may be owed money.

Do I Qualify?

You may be eligible if:

• You purchased tickets on Fandango and paid convenience fees for California theater tickets between June 11, 2020 and June 17, 2024, or
• You are a California or Washington consumer who purchased a Fandango FanClub membership between October 7, 2024 and April 16, 2025
• You are not subject to binding arbitration
• Convenience fee class members who want cash must file a claim by August 17, 2026

Convenience fee class members receive $3.25 cash (if you file) or a $3.25 voucher (automatic). FanClub class members automatically receive a $7.50 voucher.

What Happened?

Fandango was sued for charging excessive and undisclosed convenience fees when customers purchased movie tickets online. The lawsuit alleged that Fandango failed to adequately disclose the fees before customers committed to a purchase, making it difficult for buyers to understand the true cost of their tickets until the checkout process was nearly complete.

This practice — sometimes called "drip pricing" — is increasingly scrutinized by regulators and courts as a form of consumer deception. Fandango agreed to settle the class action for $9.4 million.

How Much Will I Actually Get?

Eligible claimants can receive between $3.25 and $7.50 depending on their purchase history. No proof of purchase is required for the base payment. If you purchased movie tickets through Fandango during the qualifying period, you qualify. Deadline is August 17, 2026.
