The settlement will benefit those who purchased credentials for SXSW 2020 from SXSW pursuant to SXSW’s Participant and Credentials Terms and Conditions and either did or did not accept the deferral offer. You may be eligible for a potential award from the SXSW COVID-19 Cancellation Class Action Lawsuit!
According to the class action, the plaintiffs allege Austin canceled the 2020 South by Southwest Conference and Festivals as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. While SXSW couldn’t control the cancellation, the plaintiffs say, the company unfairly withheld the money retained from the Class for tickets, passes, badges, and wristbands. The withholding of funds, according to the plaintiffs, amounts to a breach of contract, and the plaintiffs say they’re owed refunds. So if you are eligible, file a claim by December 20, 2021 to receive your potential award!
