Eventim, Consumer Group Settle COVID Fee Dispute With €20 Vouchers

Only registered claimants can request a €20 voucher via an Eventim portal by July 15, 2026.

Im Streit um die Erstattung von Gebühren für in der Coronakrise abgesagte Konzerte haben sich Verbraucherschützer mit dem Tickethändler Eventim auf einen Vergleich geeinigt. Wer sich an der Sammelklage der Verbands beteiligte, erhält einen Gutschein.

Overview

  • The Verbraucherzentrale withdrew its model lawsuit at the Bavarian Higher Regional Court after an out-of-court agreement with CTS Eventim.
  • About 5,000 consumers who enrolled in the action are eligible to receive a €20 voucher from the ticketing company.
  • The settlement creates no general entitlement to fee refunds for all Eventim customers and applies only to registered participants.
  • Eligible claimants must obtain the voucher through Eventim’s online campaign portal using their name, order number(s) and the case reference from the Federal Office of Justice.
  • Requests must be submitted by July 15, 2026, and the voucher is a flat amount irrespective of the fee at issue, which in some cases was only a few euros.
