What Was This Case About?
The lawsuit alleged that Washington Nationals ticket discounts limited to younger buyers discriminated against purchasers age 40 and older. The Nationals denied wrongdoing and liability, and the settlement resolved the claims without a trial.
Who Was Covered?
The class generally included people age 40 or older who bought eligible single-game Nationals tickets between March 29, 2023 and March 28, 2024 and were unable to use the Millennial or Young Professional discount because of age.
What Benefits Were Available?
Eligible known class members could receive ticket credit automatically or elect cash by submitting a claim. Other eligible buyers needed a valid claim. The official materials describe ticket credit of at least $18 or twice actual damages per ticket, with cash calculated under the settlement formula.
