THOUSANDS of Americans are being urged to check if they’re eligible to claim payments over $7,000 from a multi-million dollar settlement.

See Tickets, a ticketing service that sells around 20 million tickets a year, reportedly failed to protect consumer information from a September 2023 data breach.
The data breach lawsuit claims that hackers allegedly stole payment card information during the cyberattack.
The company denied any wrongdoing but agreed to pay $3.25 million to resolve the lawsuit.
Those who believe they are eligible for a payment from See Tickets must file a valid claim form by October 20, 2024.
Class members could receive up to $2,000 in reimbursement for expenses such as bank fees, communication charges, interest on short-term loans, credit expenses, travel costs, and more.
Eligible individuals may also claim up to $5,000 from the multi-million settlement for extraordinary losses related to the data breach.
This includes damages from identity theft or fraud.
And on top of this, those involved in the lawsuit may choose to receive either three years of free credit monitoring services or a pro-rata payment of up to $100.
Class members applying to get the payouts must have proof of their losses to file a valid claim.
These include account statements, professional invoices, bills, receipts, loan statements, credit reports, tax documents, and police reports.
The multi-million dollar settlement also benefits a subclass of the same affected individuals from California.
These class members are eligible for an additional payment of $100.
What's a class-action settlement?
CLASS action lawsuits offer groups of people, or 'classes,' a way to band together in court.
These suits are often brought by one or a few people who allege a company or other entity has wronged a large group of people.
When a suit becomes a class action, it extends to all “class members,” or people who may have similar complaints to those who filed the suit.
Companies often settle class actions – offering payment to class members who typically waive their right to pursue further legal action by accepting money.
These payout agreements frequently include statements by the defendant denying wrongdoing. Companies tend to settle class actions to avoid the costs of further litigation.
Pollution, discrimination, or false advertising are a few examples of what can land a class action on a company’s doorstep.

It comes after US citizens were urged to check if they’re eligible to claim a one-time payment worth up to $3,244 as part of a “fingerprint” settlement.
Popular protective equipment and clothing brand Magid Glove are at the heart of the $5,175 million settlement.
They are accused of violating Illinois laws by using “fingerprint time clocks” and taking temperatures with scanners over eight years.
Anyone who used a fingerprint-scanning clock or had their temperature taken by one of the scanners may be eligible.
According to the class action lawsuit, Magid Glove used fingerprint time clocks and temperature scanners without notifying people properly.
It affects those who used either device at Magid’s Romeoville, Illinois, facility between January 8, 2016, up to August 30, 2024.
Meanwhile, streaming giant Tubi – one of the most-watched services on the market – agreed to pay $19.99 million to settle a class action lawsuit.
The privacy suit alleges that Tubi shared users’ personal information with third parties without getting their consent first, violating the Video Privacy Protection Act.
While the streaming company has not admitted any wrongdoing, it has agreed to pay the sum to settle the lawsuit.
And this means thousands of Tubi users now stand a chance to get a share from the million-dollar payout.
According to the settlement terms, class members can receive an equal share of the net settlement fund – and the exact amount will depend on the number of claimants.
