Lake Compounce Ticket Fee Settlement

The class definition covers website ticket purchasers during the stated period. However, the notice also says payment amounts are based on processing fees paid and does not clearly explain how it treats a purchaser who paid no processing fee.

• You are in the Settlement Class if you bought Lake Compounce tickets through www.lakecompounce.com between October 1, 2023, and June 12, 2025, unless an exclusion applies.
• The exclusions include the Defendant and related companies, certain court personnel and lawyers, Class Counsel, and people who validly exclude themselves.

A Claim Form is required for a payment. The notice says it must be timely and complete, but it does not say whether receipts, ticket records, or other documents must be included. That requirement is unspecified in this notice.

• Submit online by 11:59 p.m. EST on November 24, 2026.
• Or mail a paper Claim Form postmarked by November 24, 2026.
• Paper forms can be downloaded from the Settlement Website and mailed to the Settlement Administrator at the address printed on the form.

The payment is not a fixed refund. The amount available for claims depends on the fund’s deductions, and each person’s share is based on the processing fees they paid. It also depends on how many valid claims are filed and on other payments from the fund. The notice says a share could be more or less than the processing fees paid.

• The settlement fund is $500,000, but it is not all reserved for payments to class members.
• Settlement administration and notice costs, attorneys’ fees and litigation costs, and any Court-approved service award come from the fund before class-member payments.
• Class Counsel plans to seek up to one-third of the fund for fees, costs, and expenses; the Court can award less.

The December 8, 2026 hearing is not itself a payment date. Payment depends on final approval and approval of the individual claim.

• Choose PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, or a check when making the claim.
• If the settlement receives final approval and a claim is approved, payment is due within 60 days after the settlement becomes Final under the agreement.
• A check becomes void 180 days after it is issued.

This is a change to the online ticket-purchase process. The notice does not describe it as an additional cash payment or require a Claim Form to receive it.

• The company agreed either not to charge ticket-sale fees or, if it charges fees, to clearly show the full ticket price including fees before a ticket is selected for purchase.
• This commitment lasts unless the cited Connecticut statute is amended, repealed, or invalidated.

Excluding yourself means leaving the settlement. It is different from objecting: an objection asks the Court to change or reject the settlement while remaining in the class.

• To leave the settlement, submit an exclusion request online by 11:59 p.m. EST on November 24, 2026, or mail or deliver it with a November 24, 2026 postmark.
• The request must include identifying information, a statement about the qualifying ticket purchase and processing fee, the case name and number, a request to be excluded, and a signature.
• A person who excludes themselves receives no payment from this settlement but keeps whatever right they otherwise have to sue over the claims.

The notice refers readers to the Settlement Agreement for the full legal description of the claims and parties being released.

• If the settlement becomes final, class members who do not exclude themselves give up claims against the Defendant and other released parties that arise from or relate to fees connected with electronic ticket sales during the covered period.
• This release applies even if the person does not file a Claim Form.
• Doing nothing means no settlement payment and loss of the released claims.
