Viagogo Reviews Summary

The company's reputation is significantly marred by a consistent pattern of customer dissatisfaction, primarily due to issues related to ticket availability, inflated pricing, and inadequate customer service. Customers frequently report receiving invalid tickets, last-minute notifications, and a lack of effective support when seeking refunds or resolution. While some users may have had positive experiences, these are overshadowed by widespread claims of fraud and poor service. The overall sentiment reflects a strong caution against using the platform, highlighting a pressing need for improved transparency and customer support to rebuild trust.

It is scam
February 22, 2022

I bought two football tickets, they issued E-tickets, but when we went to the venue, ticket controllers said the QR are completely in wrong format and same sits are sold many times. I tried to call them no answer.
Tickets controller told us they see many people in each match buying these fake tickets.
I had to cancel my CC just in case they take more money from my account

Terrible experience buyer beware
February 18, 2022

I am beyond frustrated with this company. First I was gouged on the price, but didn't know that till later. When my event was cancelled 3 times I asked for a refund. Well, forget that! I was told I could sell my tickets but good luck finding an area in their website to do that! I've asked for help multiple times, but of course, I've gotten none. If I could get to everyone trying to buy tickets on this disreputable website I would. If the company would just respond! I'm in the US and a company like this with such poor customer support would be out of business in no time! They offered me an opportunity to rate my recent experience. Too bad there's no black stars to do this! Buyer beware! Go someplace else!

NOT GIVING YOU YOUR TICKETS
February 11, 2022

I purchased 3 tickets from here for my little girls birthday. I kept contacting customer support to let them know I was not able to download them. They continued to send me link after link to download my tickets with unfindable links to actually do so. I'm furious with this company, the money & time I lost, and the emotional distress on my daughter's birthday.

I was purchasing tickets from the venue and was redirected to viagogo's dodgy website by a bot.
Ignorantly, I persisted assuming I was buying from the venue.
When I received my ticket I realised I had paid over $500 for a $70 ticket!
I wrongly assumed again that I was purchasing Premium Tickets.
Please save yourself the trouble and check with the venue.
They have little to no recourse, refund policy, or contact for returning tickets.
This is nothing but a scam that has legitimized itself.

Please vote with your feet and stop this ridiculous business model...

DO NOT BUY FROM VIAGOGO
January 18, 2022

Utterly abysmal, incompetent, unprofessional service. Customer service non existent!
Paid £372 for killers tickets in Dublin in 2019. Concert postponed to June 2022.
Absolutely impossible trying to get tickets from them. Can't plan flights or accommodations!
Wasted hours upon hours trying to contact or resolve issue with no success. Stonewalling and time wasters. I don't hold out hope of getting tickets or refund. BE WARNED, UNRELIABLE, UNCONTACTABLE DON'T BUY FROM THESE!

DO NOT USE
January 12, 2022

Stay well away! Sold tickets on here week before christmas for an event on the 8th Jan. Sent original tickets which buyer received Christmas Eve. 24hrs before the event, viagogo told me transaction was cancelled and buyer was returning my tickets. Buyer returned my tickets 4 days after the event had happened! I then got a message saying that the transaction was all going ahead and there was no issues. Spoke to their rubbish customer service who told me they had discretion to cancel the sale because the buyer was unwell and I won't be charged or receive any money. Absolute disgrace. Looked at their terms and conditions which says no sale can be cancelled unless the event is cancelled. All sales are legally binding. They quite clearly are not. They make up their terms and conditions as they go! So now I have no money and the event has already gone ahead which I couldn't attend because the buyer still had my tickets! Whatever you do…. DO NOT USE THEM TO SELL TICKETS ON! If I could have given them no stars I would have.

Viagogo football tickets
December 30, 2021

@Ticket. Viagogo has the worst customer service. I have bought tickets to Chelsea vs Liverpool game scheduled on Jan 2 2022 at a premium price since they claim they offer 100% money back guarantee. On Dec27 we received our tickets months after ordering but we decided not to travel to UK due to COVID and wanted to relist the tickets but there is a glitch on their website which will not let me list them
I have called their customer support which goes to an offshore location they give me a BS answer that they are escalating but nothing has happened. I have lost 2 days that i could have used to sell the tickets.
This is very unprofessional behaviour, I will never trust this company and will never recommend them
Chelsea Football Club Liverpool FC Please note the inconvenience and horrible service we are experiencing.

Viagogo is a scam company! I recommed never ever using it. There are no refubds. They use mileading publicity (you do not know in whcih currency are you doing business) I boght 2 tickets thinking that I was paying in Mexican pesos but was US dollars! And I paid a exorbitant price for 2 tickets. There are no refunds. The only soluction that they proposed is to resell your tickets and pay you until 8 days after the event.It is a really nighmare and by far the worst experience in buying tickets. NEVER NEVER NEVER USE IT! They are not serious and reliable. SCAMMERS!

Dishonest
December 13, 2021

I purchased my tickets one week ago and then realized after I went to review my email, I had been scammed. I still don't have the seat numbers for the show. It is a disgrace, I have since seen countless people who are out way more than me, so many broken hearts.

In the photos, I went to try and purchase more to see where I failed. Well, you don't get a choice of how the tickets are delivered. I paid $3.50 to receive them by email. They say now, I will get them Jan 29. It is a mess.

Fake ticket
December 12, 2021

I paid this "legitimate" reselling service $180 for a fake ticket. I was turned away from the concert at the door. Really disappointing

I bought a ticket for my daughter whos in on the spectrum, she loves this group so I had to get her a ticket. The concert was in LA and we are from SF Bay area. I was getting everything prepared for the trip and was looking for the ticket that they said they had sent. I emailed them on Monday, the concert was on following Saturday. I told them that I still hadnt received the ticket. They wanted me to show proof that I didnt receive the ticket. I was like how am I supposed to show you proof of something I dont have? I called every day until I figured out that they sent the ticket to the wrong email address even though it was typed correctly in my account. I was supposed to get a call from one of the managers that I never got. Finally when they sent me the link to get the ticket, it was received by someone else. The seller sold the ticket to someone else, they never had the ticket on hand, basically you are hoping that the seller that has the ticket is honest. No refund yet after 5 days and no call, just waiting in limbo at the moment.

DO NOT USE! 0 stars!
November 29, 2021

I bought tickets for an event that was rescheduled. However I never received a notice that the event date changed. When I tried to get my money back or updated tickets I was told by Viagogo's customer service team that I had to provide proof that the event date was rescheduled or relist the tickets. Relisting the tickets were not an option when the tickets purchased have a now past date on them. Now I am in limbo trying to see what can be done without much help form Viagogo. The only thing that can be done is asking the original seller to send updated tickets, and of course I have no access to who this seller might be. Basically Viagogo acts as a middle man between a seller and buyer. When things go wrong they can do little to rectify the situation. DO NOT USE! You are better off buying directly from the venue or a reputable ticket vendor.

I made the mistake of looking for tickets on viagogo. Once I saw the final price I carefully backed out. They bought the tickets for me on my card anyway for $3,500 and won't give me my money back. They will resell the tickets for another fee. So even though I didn't buy the tickets they will pick up@$1,000 in the transaction. They belong in jail. DO NOT BUY FROM THEM, BACK AWAY AND RUN.

DO NOT BUY TICKETS FROM THIS COMPANY. They will sell you tickets that once they arrive state the name of someone else and the important line THESE TICKETS ARE NOT TRANSFERABLE. Then hide behind their terms and Conditions that even your credit company CAPITAL One in this case will stand by. Like other reviews I have been totally shafted as we could not get into the gig and are now £300 out of pocket.
