If you purchased movie tickets through Fandango for a California theater or bought a qualifying Fandango FanClub membership, you could be entitled to compensation through a $9.4 million class action settlement.
Depending on which settlement class you qualify for, you may be able to claim a $3.25 cash payment, receive a voucher worth up to $7.50, or qualify for both benefits.
Why this lawsuit exists?
The lawsuit claimed Fandango Media LLC:
- Failed to clearly disclose mandatory convenience fees for online ticket purchases to California theaters.
- Violated certain laws related to Fandango FanClub memberships by offering monthly credits, discounts, or promotional codes that expired after 30 days.
Who qualifies?
You may be included in the settlement if you fall into either of these groups:
Convenience Fee Settlement Class
You may qualify if you:
- Paid a Fandango convenience fee when purchasing tickets for a California theater
- Made the purchase between June 11, 2020, and June 17, 2024

FanClub Settlement Class
You may qualify if you:
- Were a California or Washington consumer
- Purchased a Fandango FanClub membership
- Purchased it between Oct. 7, 2024, and April 16, 2025
If you qualify for both classes, you may receive benefits available under each.
