Scammers
January 18, 2019

Bought tickets from this UK based company for a soccer game in Germany, took 15 phone calls before they even shipped the tickets.

Once tickets arrived they weren't the section I paid for and then they gave me the normal drama of those they are a third party seller.

Don't wasted your time with this company hope the die off.

Bought tickets for J Kauffmann concert in January, was not notified of cancellation, suffered boats of traveling to Madrid and now struggling to get even the money back.,!

After my first review was published they phoned and confirmed the tickets would be refunded. I just discovered replacement tickets delivered instead to my inbox (I was sure my card account was credited so never checked it then!). I emailed now a question why I still have tickets in my account and if they are valid as viagogo firmly confirmed on the phone refund (after I explained that I couldn't accept the replacement as I am not based in madrid and originally before cancellation of the concert I was supposed to travel there, but since the concert was one year postponed I could no longer plan such a travel and original tickets have full right of redemption) - but even my question was never answered! So I am not sure why I have new tickets in my account for the dates I disagreed with and even if these are valid!

Scampers!
June 16, 2018

Viagogo sell your imaginary tickets and you will be screwed if you organise travel around it like I did for the Russia World Cup where at the very last minute of my chasing them for weeks they informed me that the tickets aren't available. They were so casual about the fact that I incurred so much coz because of their stupid guarantee that they will get the tickets to me... it is actually a scam and you buy tickets through them at your peril.

Scam
November 23, 2018

DO NOT buy from Viagogo! I had purchased 5 tickets for the Disney on ice event and found out I actually needed 6. They told me to purchase 6 and place the 5 for resale. I did that 3 days before the event but they removed it from the list stating they would not be able to get the e-ticket to the purchaser on time. WTH!

I picked great seats on the map, orchestra level, and trusted those were making it into the shopping cart. Turned out they gave me the worst seats in the entire venue, the edge of the very last row on the balcony. Found out too late. Avoid!

Bought a ticket; face value of EUR 54,90 (according to the ticket itself!). Yet Viagogo charged EUR 75.03 for the ticket alone + another EUR 21.31 for a booking fee + another EUR 12.95 for delivery + tax. All up EUR 113.55 which is more than twice the ticket. What a Joke. If any more concerts come through this place, I will just boycott the event entirely unless I can but the tickets from elsewhere.

This company has probably the worst and most un-transparent customer service ever.

There should be a way of making this company accountable.

They have almost 450$ that they owe me and they have completely disappeared on me and do not reply to any of my emails!

This company is disgusting. I purchased tickets for the All Black v South Africa game at a price I thought was reasonable (take note that when you are purchasing they tell you... wrongly. That there are few tickets left!...) then the debit on my credit card showed up at $287.00 more than what the purchase price was! Purchase price $119.00 each... When I tried to resell the tickets (poor health has prevented us from going to the game). I downloaded the tickets to the Viagogo website for resale, but they cancelled the sale and are now in the process of charging me a further $238.00! This company is absolutely appalling. NEVER buy anything from them again... be warned. They are a total ripoff! I want to take them to court... or take this further but am not sure how to go about this... and quite frankly can't afford to. And guess what... they know that and continue to do the things they do. DISGUSTING!

SCAM, AVOID LIKE PLAGUE
August 19, 2023

All the bad reviews about Viagogo are right. They are a scam, shell of a company. They sell tix which likely never existed in the first place. Any positive review of this site is a lie. This site is horrible, and they won't even refund you the money you paid. I was left without tickets the morning of the show, after having paid for a flight and hotel to London. AVOID AVOID AVOID

Scam
January 11, 2017

Booked tickets as a gift for my parents 40th wedding anniversary. I paid £450 for four tickets and £100 of it was a booking fee was only listed on the statement after they charged my card. I decided to pick the more expensive tickets so my parents would have a better seats. Tickets arrived with the face value of £150 for all of them. The bottom line they were the cheapest tickets available for the performance. There is none to call or email.

Went to book 2 Ed Sheeran tickets for my daughter extortionate price and tickets in the rafters I thought I would bite the bullet for £400 for the pair. But when I went through to purchase, it had Jumped to £555 with numerous add on's. Needless to say I did not go through with purchase. Viagogo and the people who sell tickets at such an inflated price are parasites and hope government legislation comes in to stop sites like this from taking advantage from genuine fans

My first and last attempt to purchase on this site.

Rip Off
July 19, 2016

My girlfriend purchased tickets off Viagogo for the Rugby. The original tickets she purchase were no longer available so they downgraded her with no thought of a refund or compensation. She paid $135 for silver ticketsbut Viagogo swapped these tickets for cheap $45 tickets plus added a booking fee of $30 per ticket. It cost her $165 for a $45 ticket. This company is an utter disgrace. You will not get what you paid for.

Misnamed Ticket, no refund
August 26, 2022

The ticket I bought was called Burning Man - Week Pass. What came was a vehicle pass, no personal entry. I tried to get a ticket I could use, they said the one I received was "valid" and so they couldn't give me a different ticket. I asked for a refund, same answer: no. I lost $878, will never use them again and advise extreme caution.

Total tip off
July 15, 2017

Purchased tickets early October for the Sunday of the open golf championship. Just printed off the tickets to find they were for the practice round the Sunday before the final. We paid £106.00 for three tickets that had a face value of £10 each, a total rip off. We will never use this company again, will also advise everyone we know not to go near their site.

Viagogo shame on you ripping innocent people off. I paid $1139 and $37 booking fee for tickets that were meant to cost a lot less. I still have no tickets! You respond to my emails with vague responses. You sent me two tickets with a different name on them and in a different seating area than chosen. I chose front stage you put me in bleaches. The tickets I was sent cost $203 mmmmm bit of difference. When I complained you took tickets down from my profile. I have no tickets now and I will do everything I can to let the world know how disgusting you. Everyone needs to avoid Viagogo like the plague... SCAMMERS to the MAX

Paid $900 for 2 tickets to find out the real cost of the rickets were $235, paid over 220 in booking fees? Prices we were charged were in another currently and we got charged international credit card fees.

NEVER EVER USE THEM
March 9, 2016

I paid £430 for 2 Adele tickets for Monday 7th March. Was told to collect them at an address that turned out to be residential. We waited for over half an hour and there was no sign of them even existing.
I was so upset I rang the company and it was a recorded message telling me to go on line and when I did it didn't recognise my password.
I rang the MEN arena and got through to Event time where a lovely lady was able to sell me 2 more tickets.
I don't have that sort of money but I really wanted to see Adele and we were already in Manchester.
I have emailed them and they are refusing to refund me and are telling lies saying that they were there when they clearly were not otherwise why would I buy 2 more tickets.
Please don't trust them with any amount of money go to a reputable company.

This is virtual fraud!
October 3, 2017

Bought Elton John tickets for Mackay 5 months before concert!. Ordered "best available" seats and paid AU$250 each. At the concert found out their original price was AU$99 each! And literally in the back row. Viagogo priced them at AU$194 + booking fee $54 + handling fee $2. Trying to contact them is a joke. If not fraud then certainly extortion - STAY WELL CLEAR!

Overview

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.
