The Timberwolves have reached a settlement with season-ticket holders in a lawsuit filed over their Flash Seat ticket program, the team announced Tuesday night.

As part of the settlement, the Wolves will “grant all season ticket members of record as of August 6, 2015, the right to select a total of six free upper bowl tickets within a group of 10 games from the first half of the 2017-18 regular season” and provide a complimentary tour of the newly-renovated Target Center.

The lawsuit, originally filed in March 2016, claimed the Timberwolves’ use of the digital marketplace Flash Seats makes it too hard for fans to exchange tickets, sell them on the secondary market or even give them away.

The lead plaintiffs, season-ticket holders GLS Companies of Brooklyn Park and James Mattson, contended they were not adequately notified about changes in ticketing policy until after they agreed to spend $32,000 and $21,000, respectively, on season tickets in 2015-16. Brian Gudmundson, a partner at the law firm Zimmerman Reed of Minneapolis, which filed the suit, said a little more than 2,100 members of class were represented in the suit.

With Flash Seats, the Wolves for the first time in 25 years of operations eliminated the use of paper tickets. They also added fees and set a resale price minimum — 75 percent of the ticket’s face value, the lawsuit claimed.

Gudmundson said the Timberwolves will expose the 75 percent resale minimum, “which I think is a big deal, because it sort of is the heart of the matter,” he said.

Gudmundson said the team will also pay for all notice and administration and pay for a portion of the plaintiff’s attorney fees.

“It’s a pretty comprehensive package from a class-action perspective,” Gudmundson said, “and we’re pretty pleased with it and look forward to moving forward with the approval process.”

The suit claimed the Wolves’ new “draconian” and “cumbersome” policies produced “economic harm” and violate contracts, state trade acts and antitrust laws. The suit was sent to arbitration court by a Hennepin County District Court judge last fall.

An arbitrator granted preliminary approval on the settlement Monday, which allowed notice to be sent to all members of class affected. Now they can decide whether they want to be a part of the settlement before a final fairness hearing takes place.

“We want things to move pretty expeditiously because we’ve got a basketball season coming up here in October and we want people to get out there and get their pick of games right away at the beginning as the season starts,” Gudmundson said. “So we can move it somewhat quickly, but we can only move it so quickly because there is an approval process.”

The Timberwolves denied any wrongdoing in their statement.

“As we enter this New Era of Timberwolves basketball, both parties felt strongly that it was important to resolve a two-season old dispute and focus on the future,” the statement said. “Fan safety remains the team’s top priority and the team believes its digital Flash Seats platform helps prevent fraud while also providing the most secure form of entry with the rights to each ticket linked to an individual’s identification.

“The Timberwolves are thankful to have this matter resolved, and will have no further comment on this issue.”
