Ticketmaster data breach compensation action: two years on

This week marks the second anniversary of the Ticketmaster data breach compensation action that we launched when victims of the breach were notified about what had happened.

This was one of the first big breaches that took place just after the introduction of the GDPR. We knew it was just a matter of time until a data breach event like that took place, and we immediately started legal action. In fact, we launched the action by way of a formal Letter of Claim to Ticketmaster within weeks of the breach hitting the headlines in 2018.

We now act for a group of victims of the data breach who we are representing for compensation cases on a No Win, No Fee basis. If you have yet to start your case, you should do so ASAP, and we will outline what steps you need to take here.

About the Ticketmaster data breach compensation

The Ticketmaster data breach compensation action that we have launched is for victims of the breach to receive compensation for the loss of control of their personal information.

We believe that this was an avoidable breach that has arisen from the negligence of the company. For this reason, we believe that we can establish a successful case for them breaching the GDPR which can then allow victims of the breach to receive compensation.

When you make a claim, you can be entitled, by law, to receive damages for the distress that you suffer that’s caused because the control you had over your information is now lost. Personal and sensitive data has been exposed and it could be abused by criminals and fraudsters. Even if you are lucky enough to not be targeted, there’s still the worry of being targeted. In fact, there may still be the distress because your information has been leaked in any event. This is claimable, and you do not have to have suffered any form of actual financial loss or expenses to be eligible to claim.

We continue to pursue cases for the clients that we represent. At the moment, our firm view is that it’s best to try to negotiate settlement of cases without the need for court action. Issuing court proceedings prematurely and without a good reason to do so is usually not in the interests of justice, nor is it a wise use of court time. When this happens, we have seen the court issue costs penalties to claimants, which is something we always want to avoid. We do not want to put our clients at risk like this and will always try to do the right thing and resolve cases without the need for court action.
