If You Purchased An Electronic Ticket to Film at Lincoln Center, Inc.’s Theaters Between August 29, 2022, and February 21, 2024, and Paid a Convenience Fee In Connection With Such Purchase, You May Be Entitled to a Payment From a Class Action Settlement.

  • A Settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit claiming that Defendant, Film at Lincoln Center, Inc.

Defendant denies it violated any law but has agreed to the Settlement to avoid the uncertainties and expenses associated with continuing the case.
