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.

Poorly run business
March 13, 2017

Thought I bought 5 tickets to Dixie Chicks in Brisbane this March - they took the $1030 from my account and I never received an order or any tickets - there is no number to ring - searched everywhere - I have sent several emails with no answer starting to get worried...

4 Heartbroken Girls
March 12, 2017

I ordered and paid £466 for 6 tickets to Ariana Gig for this May... i Ordered seats for top tier, right at the side of the stage... Viagogo took my money no problems... and sent me tickets for right at the back of the Arena. 4 very unhappy 12 years old, i got the tickets for my daughters birthday. I emailed Costumer Support, they haven't even replied and this is nearly 2 weeks ago. Shame on you Viagogo you are the lowest of the low, you need closing down. Daylight robbery

What a rip off. Site states that tickets are 190.60 NZD each. After processing the transaction, I am billed 538.99 NZD for two tickets. At no point during the process are you advised of the additional charges.

This is daylight robbery. How can these people get away with this!

I brought a ticket today for a 3 day pass to 17-19 March 2017 Womad Event here in New Zealand for $105.16.in NEW ZEALAND DOLLARS had the invoice stating this. When they send payment been accepted in was in Euro currency of E48.24. Why do this I paid it in NZ dollars. I know the NZ currency the invoice stated this as well This is wrong. I think this company needs looking into. This is wrong they seen to do whatever they like once they have your money been paid by a credit card.Its out of your control once you have given them the Ok.If I find out this is more than the $105.16 I will be chewing your $#*! and your ears for unfair trading. Would you like this done to you I dont think so. Dont do to others than you wouldn't expect to be done to you.

Ripped by viagogo
March 11, 2017

I purchased tickets for Don Henlley a day on the green at Mt. Duneed estate. The cost was 147.99 per ticket. I purchashed 8 tickets. When my credit card details where entered there was an extra $ 334.21 and 4.95 added. This cannot be legal. As the tickets i recieved have 111.99 printed on cost we have been scammed. L

Appalling rip off
March 11, 2017

I needed to re sell 2 tickets for Bob Dylan in Cardiff. 2 tickets cost under £360 but rocketed to £430 when 'costs' added. When I re sold them I was quoted under £300. I won't get this until mid May. How the government lets these people operate is beyond me. Also, no phone or email address to contact them. Should be 0 stars

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.

I bought tickets to see Russell Howard show for my daughter's b-day, she loves comedian so much. I wanted good seats so I picked stalls row 2. The price for 1 ticket was £60.99 double the original price, but that was not enough for viagogo, when I click to pay the total price end up being £170.44! No forewarn and no go back! Receipt came like this:
Number of Tickets: 2, Price per Ticket: £60.99, Total Ticket Cost: £121.98, Booking Fee: £35.43, Delivery Fee: £5.95, VAT £7.08, Total Charge: £170.44
I was charged over £35 for booking fee! And delivery fee for ticket sent to my email!
When we got there to see the show, our seats where sold to other people, only 1 seat was available!
It was my stupidity not checking the company before I purchased the tickets. I am gobsmacked how they are still functioning and keep ripping people off and getting away with it?!? AVOID!

I bought Justin Beiber tickets for 10 March at Etihad Stadium in Melbourne. Paid twice the marked price for two tickets... over $700.

My tickets were refused at the door and i was informed that the tickets were refunded

So my romantic night ended up being stuck in the M1 carpark, paying for overpriced Citylink, parking in a dodgy and expensive carpark and now i probably wont even get lucky.

Very dodgy company
March 9, 2017

We are absolutely disgusted by this company. We bought tickets for allegedly premium seats for Adele concert in Sydney and paid more than 4 times the face value of the actual ticket. Of course you don't know this until you have paid and then when you receive the tickets discover you have paid for pretty average seats - nothing premium about them. They also advertise in Australian dollars and then charge in British pounds - very dodgy. Be warned about their dodgy practices before purchasing.

I bought 2 tickets for a football game in Buenos Aires for when I am visiting the country as a tourist. The total cost was nearly 3 times the face value of the tickets, but then 10 days before the game I got an email to tell me the game had been rescheduled to a different day when I won't be in Buenos Aires. I can't go to the game, and I can't get a refund on the money taken from my credit card. Viagogo are a disgrace and no better than professional thieves. I will never use this company again and feel stupid for being conned by them. Their website has no facility for customers to complain to a real person or to work out how to make a legal claim against them. They should be outlawed and the directors put in prison for fraud.

This COMPANY IS A MASSIVE SCAM! GET YOUR BANK TO DO A CHARGE BACK!

The price your credit card gets billed is VERY different from the price you are LEAD TO BELIEVE you are paying!

You have no idea they have charged your credit-card for almost TWICE the amount they say you are going to be charged and you don't know until the purchase is finalized and the transaction has been completed.

Under the Australian Consumer Law, businesses must not engage in unconscionable conduct, when dealing with other businesses or their customers.

THIS COMPANY HAS DONE JUST THAT!

As a result EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU THAT HAS BEEN OVER-CHARGED, Contact your bank and dispute the amount and they will do a charge back for the difference.

Be sure to have the transaction to prove the amount you thought you where paying.

Hope this helps everyone thats been scammed by these parasites.

ALSO TICKET TECH AND TICKET MASTER SHOULD NOTE: YOU BOTH ARE JUST AS LIABLE FOR ALLOWING THIS PARASITE THIRD PARTY VIAGOGO TICKETING BUSINESS to act on your behalf to sell tickets at twice the price.

ITS CALLED SCALPING!
