Knott's Berry Farm and California's Great America ticket processing fee settlement

Who may be eligible

A proposed settlement in Isayan v. Cedar Fair, L.P. would pay $8.00 to each Californian who was charged a processing fee on a non-season ticket bought through www.knotts.com, for Knott's Berry Farm or Knott's Soak City, or through www.cagreatamerica.com for California's Great America, between June 28, 2020 and July 1, 2024 using a California billing address. If you do nothing the $8.00 arrives as a credit to spend on sixflags.com; submitting the claim form by December 22, 2026 asks for it as $8.00 in cash instead, by prepaid card, PayPal, Venmo, Zelle or check. The form needs no receipts because the class comes from Six Flags' own records, but it does ask for the Notice ID from your settlement notice. The court is due to consider final approval on March 30, 2027, and filing on the official site is free.

The eligibility period on the official materials is June 28, 2020 – July 1, 2024. It is limited to California. Covered: Knott's Berry Farm tickets, Knott's Soak City tickets, California's Great America tickets.

Only the official administrator or agency decides who is eligible. Read the official notice before filing, and file only if you believe you meet its criteria.

How much it may pay

About $8. Every figure here is an estimate from public materials, not a guarantee: many settlements pay pro rata or only after a claims review, so final amounts commonly land well below the advertised maximum.

A flat $8.00 per participating class member, worked out from Six Flags' own purchase records rather than anything a claimant proves. Doing nothing leaves the $8.00 as a credit for a purchase on sixflags.com; claiming by December 22, 2026 converts it to $8.00 cash by virtual prepaid card, PayPal, Venmo, Zelle or mailed check. The form asks for no receipts but does ask for the Notice ID, and says it cannot be submitted without one — the administrator asks anyone covered without a Notice ID to call 1-888-885-4303. Payment still depends on final approval.

The administrator pays approved claims by Virtual prepaid card, PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, Check.

The claim deadline is December 22, 2026.

The deadline to opt out or object is December 22, 2026.
