  • - Seats showed sold out at the last minute, but the charge posted.
  • - I bought two more tickets with the protection plan, now four and no refund.

I went online to buy tickets. The seats I wanted said 'sold out' at the last minute, but they still took my money.

I went back and bought two more tickets because the other ones said 'sold out.' I bought the protection plan on the second set.

Well, now I have 4 tickets and can't get a refund. What a freaking scam!

They are scammer

AI Highlights
  • - They charged $228 for two $73 tickets; no customer service, cancellation not processed; $20 insurance not refunded; I refused Tim transfer claim.
Updated by user Jul 18, 2025

They were absolutely not interested in any way

Original review Jul 03, 2025
About three months ago, I tried to purchase two tickets for a volleyball match on behalf of my wife and daughter. Normally, the ticket prices were $73 each, but they charged me $228 from my account.

Around 15 minutes after the purchase, I wanted to cancel the order because they didn't send me the tickets. However, I couldn't reach anyone; absolutely no customer service was available. They didn't process the cancellation. About an hour later, they claimed they were trying to transfer the tickets from someone named Tim, but I refused.

I had purchased ticket insurance by paying an extra $20, which was supposed to allow for cancellation and a refund.

But they never refunded my money. I believe they are complete scammers.
Loss:
$228
Cons:
  • Scam people by using the name ticketmaster

Preferred solution: Full refund

You should have been more careful and read the name. It does not say Ticketmaster.

Double charged

AI Highlights
  • - Tried to buy 4 concert tickets; system said they were sold to someone else.
  • - The next day, two pending charges for 4 tickets appeared.

I tried to buy 4 concert tickets. After I put in my credit card information it said those tickets were sold to someone else.

So I proceeded to select 4 different tickets and got the same message.

The next day I had two charges for 4 tickets each pending. I called them to try to resolve the issue and was told there was nothing they could do and they could not connect me to a supervisor because they were working remotely

User's recommendation: Make sure you are not routed to a 3rd party vendor when you are trying to buy tickets from Ticket Master

  • - Refund request with TicketSmarter since December 2024 remains unresolved and not received.
  • - The event venue changed; I was not informed or refunded.

I have been trying since December of 2024 to get a refund for tickets purchased through TicketSmarter and am still trying 3 months later!!! Worst service ever!

My event changed venues and I was never informed or refunded the price of my purchase. I was told it was refunded, and it wasnt.

The company actually tried to withdraw money instead of refunding it! DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!

User's recommendation: DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!

They don't deliver the tickets purchased, because they don't own it and they will only notified you after many days passed.

  • - Tried to buy 4 Shakira tickets; paid $8,354.51.
  • - Order showed as pending; nine days later it was rejected.
  • - 100% Guaranteed claim is misleading.
TicketSmarter - They don't deliver the tickets purchased, because they don't own it and...
Contains 1 confidential file for company representatives

This is my experience while attempting to purchase pre-concert tickets for Shakira on this website. On the day the tickets went on sale, I diligently waited in front of my computer, eager to secure 4 seats for this highly anticipated event.

I successfully completed the entire purchase process, including selecting seats, providing personal details, and making the payment ($8,354.51). I even received a confirmation email, with my tickets in "pending status", stating I would be notified via email once the purchase was completed.

To my utter shock, I received an email NINE DAYS later informing me that my order had been "rejected" and that I would not receive the tickets. This delay in communication is unacceptable, especially when dealing with time-sensitive events.

I am outraged that this website would display tickets that are not genuinely available for purchase. If they are not sure of ticket availability, they should not be displayed as available for customers to buy.

This misleading practice wastes valuable time and causes immense frustration.

I have used multiple ticketing websites, and I have never experienced such an issue. Once the transaction is finished, customers should be able to receive their tickets without any ambiguity.

Their current statement claiming "Easily Get Your Tickets Fast. 100% Guaranteed Tickets" is highly misleading. It would be more transparent if they disclose on their website that "if we can get the tickets you've purchased, great.

If not, we will tell you in 9 days."

Their reliance on a third-party to fulfill orders means that customers never have the guarantee of receiving the tickets they purchased.

Due to this terrible experience, I am now forced to buy tickets at a much higher price, which is unacceptable!

I'm sure many other customers have faced the same problems.

Stay away from this website & use Vivid Seats (best costumer service ever) or Ticket Master. When you purchased on these sites, you will get your tickets right away!

User's recommendation: Stay away! They will not notify you on time and you will lose your chance to buy in another site.
