## Summary

Six Flags has agreed to an $11.24 million settlement over claims that it charged some customers an undisclosed processing fee when they bought tickets online. The lawsuit alleged the fee breached California disclosure law; Six Flags denies wrongdoing, and the settlement still needs court approval.

Eligible California residents who bought non-season tickets through Knott’s Berry Farm or California’s Great America websites between 28 June 2020 and 1 July 2024 may receive $8. They must have used a California billing postcode and paid the fee; claims and opt-outs are due by 22 December 2026. Claimants can choose cash, electronic payment or a cheque, while those who do not file a claim receive credit towards future Six Flags purchases. A final approval hearing is scheduled for 30 March 2027.
