I listed all my tickets for around $15 each and sold them all pretty quickly.
It's been two years and they've yet to offer any good concerts in my area, so I'm just gonna make the best of this and make some money. At $30 for a pair and 10 vouchers, I'm fine with taking $300 and calling it a day.

Basically what I just did. I'm fine with a quick $300.
I don't blame anyone for buying tickets and reselling. There's no transparency here, no guarantee they'll do this again next year or in 2020.
I believe they are just trying to get to their minimum number by releasing tickets to shows that sold poorly anyway. The selection and last year and this year is significantly worse than the first year.

Could be sooner than that, unfortunately. There are no longer any events listed and this message was posted - “As of 2018, Ticketmaster fulfilled the ticket voucher requirements.”
Which means I missed out on this round and there likely won’t be anymore.

I used the last 10 pairs of my ticket vouchers, got em all listed on Stubhub, hopefully I can get enough money to pay for shows I actually want to go to now.

Original New York Times article says "The settlement requires Ticketmaster to pay out $42 million over four years, and no less than $10.5 million per year." so 2016,2017,2018 & 2019 would be the 4 years. However the ticketmaster site says they have met their obligation as though the entire matter is closed.
Caesar/Teyana is bottoming out at ~37 now, just gotta hold out and hit up my local radio stations with requests for their songs to be played and I'm gonna make a quick $100.

Most of the shows I bought tix for are for shows much later in the year. If you can, I'd give it time for the markets to level out unless you're in desperate need of some cash flow.

So I'm super behind on all this. I went on my account and it said I didn't have any vouchers. Does that just mean I probably didn't buy ticketmaster tickets in the period of time they got sued for?

CBC News reported on September 19th that Ticketmaster, the live-event ticket sales and distribution subsidiary of Live Nation Entertainment, recruits and employs professional ticket scalpers to circumvent the ticket purchasing limits on its own primary ticket sales platform in an effort to expand its ticket resale division. According to the article, Ticketmaster utilizes a professional reseller program called TradeDesk, which provides a web-based inventory for scalpers to effectively purchase large quantities of tickets from Ticketmaster’s primary ticket sales website and resell these tickets for higher prices on its own resale platform. Citing examples of TradeDesk users moving up to several million tickets per year, the allegations of the harms to consumers made in this piece are serious and deserve immediate attention.
Given our ongoing interest in protecting consumers from unfair and deceptive practices, we seek clarification on the use of this program. The enacted Better Online Ticket Sales (BOTS) Act of 2016 prohibits the “circumvention of a security measure, access control system, or other technological control or measure on an Internet website or online service that is used by the ticket issuer to enforce posted event ticket purchasing limits or to maintain the integrity of posted online ticket purchasing order rule.” Please provide responses to the following questions:
Describe the event ticket purchasing limits that Ticketmaster currently employs for sales on its primary ticket sales platform. Additionally, how does the company identify computer programs used to circumvent these purchasing limits?
Do Ticketmaster’s ticket purchasing limits and associated detection practices apply to users of its online program, TradeDesk? If not, please explain.
What are the specific rules and processes of compliance for participating TradeDesk users as it relates to ticket purchasing limits and other relevant consumer protection priorities? Please share any documents and guidance materials that are provided to TradeDesk users.
What role does Ticketmaster’s Professional Reseller Handbook play in deterring its resellers from engaging in illegal ticket purchasing activities?
Please provide your written response as soon as possible, but no later than 5 p.m. on October 5, 2018. Thank you for your prompt attention to this important matter.
