The settlement, which still needs court approval, revolves around claims by San Diego passholders that SeaWorld failed to remind them of automatic renewals.

Those included in the settlement class are people who have a California home or billing address on file with the park, among other qualifiers.

SeaWorld San Diego has agreed to pay $1.5 million to settle a class action lawsuit that alleged the company failed to adequately inform customers that their annual passes would automatically renew, leading to unexpected charges for many California residents.
