from the NYT: > The jury determined that Ticketmaster had overcharged consumers by $1.72 for each ticket.

I'm already planning what I'm going to do with the $0.20 refund I receive for each ticket I bought.

Oh, silly me, that's why a $45 ticket came out to $78 at checkout.

Don't forget, you also get a free ticket to go the remaining two members of Def Leppard play a Wednesday night show at a venue 40 miles away!

From AP

> The companies could also be assessed penalties. In addition, sanctions could result in court orders that they divest themselves of some entities, including venues such as amphitheaters that they own.

I cannot imagine how they came up with that number. If it were under $2 per ticket it wouldn't have been worth pursuing. This happened because they were taking tens of dollars for no other reason than that there was no alternative.

Sounds about right. The attorneys take $1.52 and leave the victim with $0.20. And then nothing actually happens that would restore a competitive marketplace.
