Regal Cinemas found itself in hot water over allegations of non-disclosure of booking fees on its electronic ticket sales in New York State. According to the claims, Regal Cinemas failed to clearly communicate the additional charges before consumers selected their tickets, leading to misrepresented ticket prices. This practice was deemed to be in violation of New York's Arts and Cultural Affairs Law. Consequently, a class action lawsuit was filed and Regal Cinemas has now agreed to a $2.5 million settlement to resolve these allegations. Despite denying any wrongdoing, this move has been perceived as a strategy to sidestep potentially hefty litigation costs. Eligible claimants may receive a refund between $5 and $25 per ticket, depending on the surcharges paid. The payment options include PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, or check, with the settlement expected to be paid out by late 2025 or early 2026, depending on court approvals and any potential appeals.
