Thank you ticketmaster for my refund on the tickets I purchased, owing to flight restrictions into the USA. 5 Stars. Please will you amend your policy on resale of tickets, so anyone outside of the USA that does not have bank account in the USA can resale there tickets. Once again thank you keep up the good work.

Bought tickets online through Vivid only to find out that the tickets have to be transferred from Ticketmaster. When I go to accept the tickets, it says I need to reset my password. They send a code via email, but in order to see the code, you have to back out of Ticketmaster's site. When you go back to the site, the code doesn't work because they resend the code. When you try to call, they don't have staff to answer the phone. This is a pathetic excuse for a company. You would think they would have the technology figured out, making it easier for customers to receive their tickets. I still don't have my tickets. What a joke.

Dreadful company. Badly run and only interested in taking your money. No contact numbers and no communication about tickets bought.

The worst customer service ever. When I bought ticket for event it wasnt highlighted properly that it was kids/teen ticket so I contacted customer service and they told me I should buy a new one and they will do refund of original booking so I did. Nobody get back to for more than weeks and now they are claiming that they cannot do a refund this is absolutely ridiculous. They are coming up with so many different excuses like I didnt contact them on time even though I did contact them same day, they refused to resale my ticket apparently it was too close to event, then promised refund via email and now saying its against their policy

I will never use Ticketmaster again! Over the past year and a half all they have had to do is issue tickets or refunds I have had major problems with both. The last show I had was Tuesday night and on Monday it still said my order was in process. My tickets were not even available to me until Tuesday morning the day of the show talked about unneeded stress when I paid for them over a year ago

Terrible!!! On $120 tickets they charged me a roughly $30 fee.... I bought a few and now some of my friends can't go... so I went to sell them online they indicate they'll take roughly $30 from my proceeds if they sell (ticket prices have dropped significantly since presale)... I listed them anyway and was grumpy about it. NOW I look on the site and I see they're for sale at the price I offered PLUS fees. So they'll take $30 from the price I listed AND charge the buyer a THIRD $30 fee.... Freakin' $90 in service fees to buy and resell on $120 tickets. Absolutely criminal.

Talk about fraud & misrepresentation!! I immediately started calling TicketMaster &, in a nutshell, here’s what they said was the ONLY solution: The TM agents want me to go to the Apple Store and buy a $2100 gift card; call them back; and the agents can the exchange our tickets using the Apple card! WTF? Is this a joke? Since the tickets are already paid forβ€”and, admittedly, they can exchange the tickets, then why must I go to the Apple store and buy a $2100 gift card? This morning, another TM agent called me to ask if I got the Apple gift card. I said, no, I can’t do the Apple gift card until they refund my money! Agent replies: it will take 7-10 days to get a refund! WTF??? Ticketmaster has intentionally defrauded me & mine. This is beyond outrageous! $2100 for 4 obstructed view seats without warning?? As I told the last agent who called, I am an attorney and i will file a lawsuit against TM on Monday morning. There is no way I am going to let this slide. All I want is an even exchange for decent seats…& without gift card!

Who agrees #ticketmaster is the worst customer service of any major company in the world? $75 service fee on 2 3days passes -- and over 7 weeks of trying I still haven't been able to connect with a live person. they have elimnated all support, and still expect fans to pay exorbitant fees, and they get away with it because they are a monopoly How much PPP did you losers get to fire your staff anyways? #F___ticketmaster

I had to sell 2 tickets since my wife and my younger son had to drop out due to health reasons and therefore I listed those tickets on TicketMaster the afternoon of the game. When we went to the stadium we saw the 2 seats next to ours was occupied, when I contacted TicketMaster they mentioned that the ticket listing had expired and they had not sold the tickets and therefore they could not pay me for the tickets.

The game was a basketball playoff game and the stadium was packed. There was no way anyone could have occupied or come to the stadium without a valid ticket purchase. Ticketmaster follows unethical business practices and cheat many. I am surprised that even though many have complained and given bad reviews, they still are in business and get exclusive rights to sell tickets for concerts, games, etc. I never want to deal with this horrible unethical company.

THE WORST FOR CUSTOMER SERVICE - you can't speak to them, email them, live chat with them or contact them .... outside of their own very tight parameters - ok if you've got a question they want to answer - SO FRUSTRATING if you want to contact them for anything else - a total brick wall - would really think twice about using them again ....

Ticketmaster is a terrible site that we are stuck with. Example: I waited for show to open got in real quick picked the seats I wanted even were checked green, but missed by a small amount to another person. What did ticketmaster do? offer me tickets all the way in the nosebleeds even though there we close seats. In short Ticketmaster tried to dump off bad seats to me as if I had no choice. I HATE!! this company and after a life long concert going habit, have decided that if the act I want to see is using Ticketmaster as their ticket source I just wont see them anymore.

What the Hell ! I want to book, I cant find the show I want, I cant get to speak to anyone ( apparently because they're so busy or so Ive been told the 5 times Ive tried today... ) This has to be the worst organisation Ive 'attempted' to dealt with. Are management awake ? Im disgusted and they should be embarrassed !

Horrible customer service. Can’t talk to anyone you have to do live chats and emails. Requested a refund since the concert has been moved not just once but twice another year later and possibly again in the future. It’s absolutely a nightmare to deal with and they should make things right for their customers since we are under unseen circumstances!
