If you bought Posh event tickets in California and were charged undisclosed fees, here is what the $1.2 million settlement offered class members — up to $15 — now that the claim window has closed and the final approval hearing has moved to November 12, 2026.
What is the Posh Group Ticket Fee Settlement?
Posh Group, Inc. has agreed to pay $1,200,000 to settle a class action lawsuit alleging that the company charged California ticket buyers additional service fees that were not disclosed in the advertised ticket price — a practice commonly called "drip pricing" or "hidden junk fees." The case is Rahil Doctor v. Posh Group, Inc., Case No. 25STCV21463, pending in the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles, before the Honorable Laura A. Seigle.Posh Group denies the allegations and maintains its fee practices were lawful, but agreed to settle to avoid the cost, risk, and disruption of continued litigation. The Court has preliminarily approved the settlement and authorized notice to the class.
The notice set the Payment Election Form deadline for July 7, 2026; the official settlement website now lists September 25, 2026, and that date has also passed. The deadline to exclude yourself from the settlement or file an objection was June 8, 2026.
What changed recently: The Final Approval Hearing, originally scheduled for September 28, 2026, has been moved. As of October 20, 2026, the official settlement website lists it for November 12, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. The Court has not yet decided whether to grant final approval.

How Much Money Will I Get?
The total Settlement Fund is $1,200,000. After deducting Court-approved attorneys' fees, costs, the service award to the class representative, and settlement administration expenses, the net fund will be distributed to Settlement Class Members who timely submit a valid Payment Election Form.Each eligible class member is expected to receive up to $15, subject to pro rata adjustment. The exact per-person amount will depend on the total number of valid Payment Election Forms submitted by the deadline. If fewer class members claim, per-person payments may go up; if more claim than expected, payments will be reduced on a pro rata basis.
How Do I File a Claim?
The Payment Election Form deadline has passed. The official settlement website lists it as September 25, 2026 (the notice originally set July 7, 2026). Forms could be filed online or by mail.Official website: ticketfeesettlement.com
To file online, you will need the ILYM ID and Unique Claim ID printed on the Notice that ILYM Group sent you by email or mail. On the Payment Election Form, you will select how you would like to receive your payment from the options offered by the Settlement Administrator (check sent by mail and/or available electronic payment options listed on the settlement website). Read each option carefully — once selected, your payment method generally cannot be changed.
If you did not receive a Notice and believe you qualify, use the contact link on the settlement website to reach the Settlement Administrator and request instructions for filing without a pre-assigned Claim ID.
Is Proof Required?
No. You do not need to upload a receipt or ticket confirmation to file a claim. Eligibility is verified against Posh Group's own records of California ticket purchases during the class period. Submitting the Payment Election Form with accurate information under penalty of perjury is all that is required.What if My Claim ID or ILYM ID Doesn't Work?
If you received a Notice but your Claim ID or ILYM ID isn't being accepted on the settlement website, try the following before giving up:• Check the code for easily confused characters — zero (0) vs. the letter O, the number 1 vs. lowercase L, and I vs. 1 are the most common mix-ups.
• Copy and paste the IDs directly from the email notice and trim any leading or trailing spaces.
• Confirm the email address or last name you are entering matches what was on your original Posh account, not your current information.
• Try loading the site in a private or incognito window to rule out a stale browser session.
• If you are sure you qualify but did not receive a notice, use the "Contact Us" link on the settlement website to request a replacement notice or filing instructions.
Do not wait until the last day — ID and eligibility lookups can take several business days to resolve.

Class members who did not submit a Payment Election Form by the deadline will not receive a payment from this settlement, and they remain bound by its terms — meaning they release their claims against Posh Group relating to the alleged undisclosed fees if the settlement is approved.
