What happened
Class period: Convenience Fee class: June 11, 2020 through June 17, 2024. FanClub class: October 7, 2024 through April 16, 2025.
- The lawsuit is Jonathan Beer et al. v. Fandango Media, LLC, Case No. 25CU046749N.
- The case alleges Fandango failed to timely disclose a mandatory Convenience Fee for online movie ticket purchases to California theaters.

- The parties agreed to settle to avoid the cost, risk, and delay of continued litigation.
