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.

I was lied to by six representatives over the course of two weeks. I have written correspondence as proof of their deception. I was told that the tickets I purchased would be replaced by comparable quality tickets. I reached out multiple times and was told not to worry. I purchased airline tickets and nonrefundable hotel stays and now I am being told that they will not replace the tickets but will give me a refund. I'm devastated. My plans to surprise my fiance are ruined and I'm out a significant amount of money. The last individual I spoke with showed no remorse and kept reiterating their policy like a robot. The loophole they rely on is that the actual tickets come from a third party so they are not responsible. Their guarantee is a false promise and the representatives will tell you whatever you need to hear to keep you on the hook. I imagine that spending all day listening to the calls of heartbroken people must take something out of your soul. This is a truly awful company.

I paid very high price for the tickets provided by viagogo (468 CHF for 2 tickets), however when they arrived I was really surprised that the total amount for 2 tickets was less than 200 CHF. On one hand I can understand there might be additional fees but so much? Anyway - I would understand it if I would get to the Hallenstadion in Zurich and enjoy nice places and show. But instead - I was send on the very last seats on the left side from the stage - with almost zero view. I really cannot tell how disappointed I was. So much money and possibly the worst places I ever had in my life.
The worst possible service and also my claim to the company is fairly ignored for 3months already - there is no contact email/phone only stupid resolver which does not solve and ignore on top of the worst possible provider of tickets.
Please dont use their services - they dont deserve it.

I have bought and sold many times on Stubhub and TIcketmaster. First time with Viagogo and I listed one ticket and attached the ticket. They claim person that bought it couldn't gain entry so I don't get paid. Total BS

HORRIBLE SEATS - SCAMMED
September 21, 2019

Is there a ZERO stars? I just looked up my seating for Jeff Beck in Austin and my seats are CRAP. Months ago when I purchased these seats, I remember them being in a completely different section... I paid 353.65 for seats in the upper balcony at almost the top row? NONSENSE!

SCAM ALERT
September 16, 2019

Absolutely the worst site I have ever booked tickets through. I paid almost $90 for each ticket to Criss Angel and was way up in balcony. The person next to me only paid $45. This is when there were rows and rows of seats empty on the floor and first level (instead of 3rd level). NEVER AGAIN! I go to 15-20 events each year and WILL NEVER GO THROUGH THEM AGAIN

Scammed
September 12, 2019

Ordered tickets for a Bayern Munich match 2 months prior to the match. Updated the shipping date to reflect our travel plans 1 month ahead of time. The week before we left the tickets still had not shipped, so they asked for our travel address. Travel address link on the site would not update and they would not accept an email with the address.

Ordered tickets to Lazio-Roma football game, specifically ones for Roma fan section (only reason I bought them from viagogo, other sites sold only for Lazio). I double checked and made sure the tickets I was buying were for Roma fans, even took a screenshot as proof. When I received the tickets they were for Lazio fan section. I contacted viagogo by email, since the phone service Is apparently only for those whose events are within 72h. I asked them if I could get the correct tickets and they offered me 1/4 of the price I paid as a refund and keep the tickets. I told them it Is against the security regulations to go to Lazio section dressed as a rival fan and that the tickets are useless to me, so either a full refund or the correct tickets. After that they had the nerve to LIE and claim that they "are happy to inform" that the tickets I had received were the correct ones, that they never told they were for Roma, even though I had provided them with proof (The screenshot, them admitting It in the previous email...). After that I sent them another email confronting them about it and never got an answer. This whole conversation took 4 days, and a different person answered every email/call. Thankfully the people at the stadio Olimpico were understanding, and let us to the Roma fan section with the wrong tickets after we explained the situation. If you have the possibility to buy tickets straight from the official vendor, do it. For sport events i recommend checking the teams own websites for tickets or info. Viagogo and similar sites charge double the price and you face afore mentioned problems. I learned that the hard way.

CRIMINALS
September 7, 2019

We bought tickets months ago for the UFC fight happening tonight, Khabib vs Poirier. We bought the first tickets available at 1500 USD apiece! They ended up giving us 70 USD tickets 3rd row from the back and we were supposed to be in the front row! This is a criminal site and we will spend whatever it takes legally to expose them. NEVER BUY ANYTHING HERE, THEY ARE ONLINE THIEVES!

Viagogo is the worst vendor I have ever
Viagogo is the worst vendor I have ever dealt with. I bought tickets to a Michael buble concert and selected a wheelchair only option by mistake. They put a high press count down timer on the screen and you do not have time to read all the fine print details. I disputed the charge as I see their website as fraudulent. My credit card company agreed Barclay carnival MasterCard and gave me immediate refund. After investigation they now say viagogo is a third party vendor and they have no recourse and I am liable for the $164. For nothing. Viagogo said don't worry you can sell them on our web site you have a month. They found out I disputed the charge and prevented me from selling the tickets. F- you viagogo and Barclay I will never use both of you again!

Wrong tickets
August 24, 2019

We bought tickets for a concert through Viagogo. However the tickets at the concert were backwards. We bought section K row 201 tickets which were suppose to be floor seats. But at the concert we were issued section 201 row K tickets. Viagogo basically said so sorry. They offered us a little discount for the wrong tickets. We were extremely upset with them. We will NEVER use them again.

This company is a scam. I bought 4 Queen concert tickets and was promised an email to download tickets. PayPal sent them my money and I never received the tickets. They said they did and I had all the documentation to back up my claim. PayPal sided with them.
WILL NEVER USE THEM OR RECOMMEND THEM OR PAYPAL!

Viagogo Sucks!
August 19, 2019

I was in the process of ordering tickets for the Ozzy/Megadeath show. When I got to the payment page, I noticed that the processing fee was $70. This was after I had filled in my credit card info. I changed my mind and decided that I would buy my tickets from different vendor, and closed out the page before proceeding to the last step. Later on when I checked my email, I was surprised to see an email from Viagogo with the tickets. The sale had gone through even though I opted out before committing to buy. I contacted them and they said that there was nothing they could do and I could try reselling them on their site. So now I have my tickets listed with them, hoping that they will sell. I will never use Viagogo again.

I made the mistake of not seeing the reviews prior to using Viagogo. Sold four tickets worth a total of $2000 on their website.

They claimed the tickets weren't valid, and not only refused to pay me, but also charged my credit card an additional $650.

Would not recommend ever using this site.

I thought I was buying 2 tickets for the Eagles Concert. Instead, the tickets were for a symphony orchestra playing Eagles songs! Their ad had The Eagles written in large print with the orchestra in very small print. The price was listed at $124 per ticket, and then at checkout the price for the two tickets was $600-with their clock ticking down, I was tricked into thinking I could lose out on this "great deal". The face value of these tickets is $45 each, and there are hundreds left at the actual venue. The site claimed that these were the last two tickets- now, of course, they will NOT refund my $600. I am extremely upset about their scam.

Fairly good
August 13, 2019

I've used viagogo many times to purchase tickets and never had a problem, except for once last year when I purchased fake tickets to a JT concert which has made me sceptical to buy from them since. We ended up having to buy new tickets on the night from the box office however, viagogo did refund the amount for the original fake tickets which most companies would not do so thank you for that!

Total Disaster
August 10, 2019

Their guarantee is garbage. I called the day my tickets were supposed to be uploaded and they told me they would be there the next day. Never came call them and they told me that I have to trust them that the tickets would be there the next day. Never came called and they said that the tickets would be there the day before the event, never came. Called and now a manager is supposed to call me back today. I honestly don't believe that they are. Lost out on $500.00, which is more than I have ever spent on tickets. Entire experience is just awful.
