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.

Please don't trust Viagogo. They are not trustworthy and in case of crisis they won't help you. All fees are hidden too until the very end. In case of cancelled event they send you 1 email that you can request refund and if you don't respond in 24 hrs they will send you voucher so you can buy different event at different time. Very bad, very bad

I bought tickets for Oktoberfest 2021 in Munich. The event organizer announced the event cancellation on May 3rd, 2021 It is now May 13, I have called and emailed 8 times asking for a refund and provided proof from the event organizer that Oktoberfest 2021 is canceled. They are refusing to refund me. I also never received tickets since the event is canceled btw. Viagogo does not follow their posted refund policy and does everything possible to keep your money. Find another ticket broker - Viagogo is not to be trusted

Scammed
May 9, 2021

Viagogo sold me tickets for a concert that had been rescheduled months prior to selling me the tickets. Viagogo will not refund me my money because I can't make the real concert date.

Horrible Customer Service! I bought tickets for an In This Moment concert which was set for may 2020 and it has been MONTHS before they processed a refund, apparently they do not have the technology to do this like the rest of the technological world. And now to get a refund I have to either have PayPal - which i don't - or save my banking information on their site? If they can't process a refund why on EARTH would I give them my banking information to SAVE? I tried calling and can't reach a human - my order ID is no longer valid and they just hung up when I put it in. I will never be using their services again and encourage others to do the same as they just want to keep your money and not help you at all.

Total SCAM
April 5, 2021

I paid for tickets and they sent tickets from the last year. They said the tickets were still good and refused to send me tickets with the correct date. I was driving 8 hours and get a hotel to go to a concert that had the incorrect date and year! This company is a scam! Do not get screwed like I did.

I purchased tickets to an event on this site only to find them moments later on Tickemaster at half the price. But don't think about cancelling a purchase or getting a refund. All sales are final, No refunds. Customer service only can read a script - in broken English. I'll never use this site again. Ever.

I bought tickets for a festival due to take place in 2021 from Viagogo. I have just realised I have been charged double the face value (when you take all the "extra charges" into account) which is a grossly unfair and unreasonable premium. I requested a refund and they are refusing to refund me. They really shouldn't be allowed to do this to consumers. I would not recommend that anyone deal with this company.

I am honestly surprised!
October 23, 2020

Here a lot of random places and dates, but the tl; dr is that they have been somewhat efficient and very committed to getting me my money back.

I live in Hong Kong, and I -VERY RELUCTANTLY- bought tickets in July 2019 for a concert that was going to be in Japan in March 2020 (Note: I bought them from the page, not from a random user). Because of COVID, it got cancelled. Knowing that they were second-hand tickets I had little to no faith in getting the money back. However, they sent me an email immediately asking for the tickets back and saying they'd send me the money. They gave me an address in Taiwan, but because of COVID and bureaucracy, I needed the name and ID number of the person who was gonna receive them. I didn't have it and it was the last day of their deadline to return them, so I gave up again (in my head, it was money spent almost a year ago and it was gone forever).
A week later they called me and told me they were curious about what had happened. I explained the situation and actually thought the tickets were lost. They told me to look for them and gave me a new address to send them to, now in Japan.
I was finally able to do it and they offered me either credit or the money back in my account. I couldn't believe they were gonna refund the whole thing, no service or transaction charge whatsoever.

Admittedly, I did have to navigate through a somewhat confusing webpage at times, but I am happy to inform you that 13 months after getting the tickets I got all my money back!

I honestly rarely write reviews, but they made such a good job, and they actually made the effort to pay me back and called me, so I thought I would return the favour. Also, every person that contacted me either through the phone or email was super kind and nice!

Scam
October 17, 2020

Do not buy tickets through this company. My event was moved from Las Vegas NV to Arlington TX due to covid. They have refused to refund my $$ for the venue in Las Vegas. They keep telling me they have not been officially notified that the event has changed venues. YET they are selling tickets on their site for Arlington. Go figure That little lesson cost me $600

Whatever you do do not buy tickets through this company. The tickets are overpriced and they do not have permission to resell tickets for lots of the venues. This means that even if you are lucky to actually get your tickets, you may be refused admittance to the venue. If you are in the UK and book tickets and want a refund, I would suggest you go on Victims.of Viagogo and download the template letter that's on there. I used this and got a refund after months of emailing

Scam - stay away
September 10, 2020

Sure. Order tickets here that you never receive. If the Concert is put off to a new date ( like mine was) good luck. No refund. They won't refund you. Not only that but they expect you to accept the new date of the new venue / concert. What a joke. I am out over $800. I am currently consulting with my family of attornys of which some are international. I want my money back.

Company is a rip off
August 21, 2020

My event got canceled in March. I requested a refund. I got an email that said it may take several months to get my refund due to COVID 19. Nearly 5 months later, I have not received my refund. I have contacted them 3 times and each time I get a form letter that says it will take several months due to COVID-19. Definite rip off, probably will never get my 1100 dollars back.

We had purchased tickets to Cher in Charleston, SC in March of 2020. Covid hit, and all shows cancelled or "postponed" so they say. We called in regards to getting a refund, like so many others. And they refused to help. The advised it's postponed and they will announce new dates. No one is performing in 2020, and we purchased tickets for this show, because it worked for our scheduled, we can't commit to 2021, and its not even a sure thing Cher will come back to Charleston. So many people are hurting now, with out jobs and bills piling up. We just want our money back, so we can put it to good use. I will say, even if they choose to do the right thing - which I doubt they will... WE WILL NEVER USE Viagogo AGAIN! EVER. I will do everything I can to make sure others know about this. This is the time for companies to shine for doing the right things in a time of crisis. Viagogo, you failed.

Ripoff
June 11, 2020

The concert I bought tickets for was "postponed" due to Covid. Ticketmaster is giving refunds because a new date has not been set. Viagogo refuses to refund. Enclosed is ticketmaster email.
Your Event Has Been Postponed

This is to inform you your tickets are still valid.

Hi Elton John fan,
The event organizer is still planning to reschedule your event and your tickets will remain good for the rescheduled date.

Hang on to your tickets - we'll email you as soon as the new date is announced.

If you do not wish to wait for the new date announcement, you also have the option to request a refund beginning Wednesday, June 3rd at 10am ET for 30 days through July 2nd.

If you decide to hold on to your tickets, we will notify you when the event organizer either cancels or reschedules the event. In the event of a cancellation, we will automatically issue you a refund.

Request a Refund

If you prefer a refund, you may request one HERE starting on June 3rd at 10am ET. We will process your refund in as soon as 30 days.

Request Refund

Please Note: If the tickets were transferred to you, the refund will go to the fan who originally purchased the tickets from Ticketmaster.

Thank you for your patience and understanding. We look forward to gathering and celebrating the live experience together again.

I bought a ticket to an event that was postponed for a year. I cannot go on the new date. The only option they have offered me is to resell the tickets and pay them another commission. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THIS COMPANY

I spent nearly 700 pound on tickets for this year, the event has been cancelled but the tickets are still available for NEXT YEAR! I requested for a refund and they told me i could not have one as the event as been postponed till NEXT YEAR! I told them i can not attend as i am not in this country at this time and they still rejected, i think this is absolutely ridiculous. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS WEBSITE, would rather burn it.
