Fandango Convenience Fee & FanClub Class Action Settlement

Two classes: (1) people who paid a Convenience Fee on Fandango orders to California theaters between June 11, 2020 and June 17, 2024; (2) California or Washington consumers who bought a Fandango FanClub membership between October 7, 2024 and April 16, 2025. Vouchers are automatic; cash needs a claim form with your Unique ID.

• Convenience Fee class: paid a Fandango Convenience Fee on a California-theater order, Jun 11 2020 – Jun 17 2024 (and not bound by arbitration)
• FanClub class: bought a Fandango FanClub membership as a CA/WA consumer, Oct 7 2024 – Apr 16 2025
• Vouchers are automatic; the $3.25 cash option needs a claim form with your Unique ID + Confirmation Code

Fandango agreed to a settlement (combined estimated benefits ~$9.4 million) of Jonathan Beer et al. v. Fandango Media, LLC in San Diego Superior Court. Named plaintiffs allege Fandango (1) failed to timely disclose a mandatory Convenience Fee on online movie-ticket purchases to California theaters, and (2) sold FanClub memberships whose $10 monthly credits expired after 30 days, allegedly violating California's Gift Card Law and related statutes. Fandango denies wrongdoing and is settling without admitting liability. The settlement has two classes with different windows and benefits; you can be in one, both, or neither, and benefits stack.

Who's excluded: The Convenience Fee class excludes consumers subject to binding arbitration with Fandango (most aren't). Vouchers can only be used on Fandango.com or the app (not at theater box offices), can't be combined with other discounts, and aren't transferable.

• Convenience Fee Class — $3.25 cash or voucher

  Choose $3.25 cash (requires a claim form with the Unique ID + Confirmation Code from your email notice) OR a $3.25 Fandango voucher issued automatically (expires 3 years after issuance). Same amount — cash needs action, voucher is automatic.

• FanClub Class — $7.50 voucher (automatic)

  California/Washington FanClub members automatically get a $7.50 Fandango voucher (never expires) — no claim form, no cash alternative.

• Both classes stack

  If you're in both, you get the $3.25 cash-or-voucher AND the $7.50 voucher.

1. 1For a voucher: do nothing — it's issued automatically to non-opt-out class members after final approval.
2. 2For the $3.25 cash instead: file at FandangoMediaSettlement.com with the Unique ID + Confirmation Code from your email notice (or recover them with the Unique ID Lookup tool).
