Who Is Festival Fun Parks and Why Are They Being Sued Over Ticket Fees?

Festival Fun Parks, LLC operates Lake Compounce and sold tickets directly on its own website, lakecompounce.com. That matters. If you bought there in that window, the fee you paid is what this case is about.

What Did Festival Fun Parks Do to Ticket Buyers Between October 1, 2023 and June 12, 2025?

Here’s the short version. The lawsuit says Festival Fun Parks failed to properly disclose a processing fee on electronic Lake Compounce tickets before buyers selected them, in alleged violation of Connecticut General Statutes § 53-289a.

The company denies it. The agreement says it “has denied and continues to deny any wrongdoing, liability, or fault whatsoever” (Settlement Agreement, Recital H). It also fought hard: it moved to dismiss and force arbitration, lost on March 6, 2026, appealed on April 3, 2026, and then settled.

Notice that the deal came while an appeal was pending.

Who Qualifies for the Lake Compounce Ticket Fee Settlement?

Here’s exactly how to know if this Lake Compounce settlement includes you:

• Individuals who bought tickets to Lake Compounce on lakecompounce.com from October 1, 2023 through June 12, 2025
• Buyers whose orders included a processing fee, since your payment is a share based on those fees

Who doesn’t qualify:

• People who bought tickets anywhere other than lakecompounce.com
• Festival Fun Parks, its affiliates and officers, Class Counsel, and the judge and family
• Anyone who excludes themselves by November 24, 2026

Did you buy Lake Compounce tickets on its own website and pay a processing fee? Then this is about you.

How Much Can Lake Compounce Ticket Fee Settlement Class Members Get? A Share Based on Fees You Paid

The $500,000 fund is non-reversionary. None of it goes back to Festival Fun Parks. But administration costs, attorneys’ fees and a service award come out first.

Lake Compounce Payout — A Pro Rata Share of What’s Left

Your check is your share of the remaining fund, weighted by the processing fees you paid. The notice’s example is $280,000 available and 20,000 valid claims, which averages about $14 each. That’s just an example.

What Pro-Rata Means for Your Lake Compounce Check

The FAQ says your amount depends on how many valid claims come in, so more claims means smaller checks. Pay is by PayPal, Venmo, Zelle or check, within 60 days after the settlement becomes final, and checks expire 180 days after issue. Payments over $600 may appear on a 1099, so check with a tax professional.

Here’s the math from the agreement. Festival Fun Parks says it collected $807,599.40 in processing fees across 102,210 transactions, about $7.90 per transaction. After the maximum $166,666.67 fee request and $5,000 service award, at most $328,333.33 is left before administration costs, about 40.7% of those fees if everyone filed.

So don’t expect a full refund. But it costs nothing to file.
