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.

AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE
January 9, 2017

I purchased tickets to Alexisonfire in Perth, didn't about the hidden booking fees and taxes until it had charged my credit card. The tickets had a face value of $75 and they charged me $176 per ticket! More than double the ticket price! No customer support or any way to try and resolve issues. I cant give zero stars and 1 star is far too generous so just stay away from these ripoff merchants

Sold invalid tickets
January 6, 2017

I bought tickets in good faith from this site at A significant mark up which was fine as I really wanted the tickets. However on contacting the venue to confirm these tickets were OK as it was the first time I had purchased tickets from this site. I was informed that my tickets are invalid and that I would have to contact viagogo for a refund. I contact viagogo about this issue and was issued with a reply that it is not their problem much to my surprise and no refund would be issues. I then tried to contact them again to obtain a contact number to speak to someone in person as the website makes it difficult to discuss a problem with limited contact info. However much to my surprise all my emails are returned as undelivered. I contact my service provider and they have suggested that viagogo may have blocked my email so that I cannot contact them again about this issue. I have been trying now since the 22nd Dec to get in touch to no avail. Do not use this site I am over £230.00 out of pocket for tickets that cost £110. I can't actually believe how poor the customer service is from this company. I would personally trust a ticket tout outside a venue before every using this service again, please think twice before purchasing. Can't believe a company can sell invalid tickets and then refuse to refund you.

Ticket never arrived

I purchased a cricket ticket which they say they sent to my e mail address. After sending several contact e mails no joy. If you want to give them money for no reason this company is for you

Ripped off
January 3, 2017

Bought two tickets for Adele £208.99 each which I thought was a lot but really wanted to do it. Didn't give total at checkout as I'd used site before and it had my card details. Costs added were £59.72 EACH ticket booking fee and £10.64 EACH ticket postage, plus VAT. The total came to £582.57 - I feel completely ripped off and has spoilt the fact that I got tickets. Then to make it worse £602.99 has gone out of my account. Nearly £100 extra per ticket on tickets which were £208 already. I just feel sick now from this experience! I have tried to contact them and can't. I'll never use this site again- should be illegal to rip people off like this.

Viagogo is a scam!
January 2, 2017

I live in South Africa and bought tickets for a local rugby 7's event, 4 months before the event. Only 30% of the tickets arrived but I was still charged for all of them on my south african VISA card! The balance I resold on their site and now cannot get paid as I have a south african VISA card! This is a complete scam and the most unprofessional and illegal experience ever. Regards Geordie

Absolute rip off!
January 1, 2017

Viagogo has no scruples selling tickets for a show several hundred percent above the true ticket price. To add insult to injury they then rip you off further by charging an enormous "booking fee" and "delivery charge" (without forewarning you about these charges!), for the privilege of emailing the hugely overpriced "tickets". The ticket arrived by email without my name on it and that's when I smelt a rat and went online to see how ripped off I was from reading other reviews! An utter disgrace that people can operate a "business" like this!

Used this site in error, no area of recourse. Booking fees and cost of ticket at end of process much higher than initially seen on the site. I hold my breath as to whether I get the tickets.

RIP OFF
December 29, 2016

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.
This site should be removed.

They pay to get to the top of google search results, then sell the cheapest tickets they can buy at triple price. You are sucked into thinking you are dealing with the official ticketing agent, but this is just a massive SCAM. Bottom feeding, amoral low life thieves.

Very unsatisfied
December 28, 2016

Paid a large amount of money for tickets that were not mailed, had to be waiting at a restaurant for 3 hours to receive incorrect tickets. Not a reliable website at all. I had the worst experience and rip off!

DO NOT USE
December 27, 2016

As everyone else has said - RIP OFF. HUGE hidden charges, not upfront at time or agreeing to buy tickets also not sure tickets exist.

Has anyone managed to get their money back... I am trying! Any consumer companies can help? Money via bank account so can't go through credit card. #angry

Scam
December 26, 2016

Tickets were 3 times the normal price and were emailed to me on the day of the concert, not 3 days beforehand as promised. Tickets had some other person's name on them.

THIEVES! DO NOT USE THEM!
December 22, 2016

Sold me tickets at three times the face value. Then sent tickets for an event run a month before I purchased it. Now they can't answer my question as their website is "down for repairs". DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THESE PEOPLE. How come no regulator is shutting them down? So angry! And it's Christmas!

Viagogo
December 22, 2016

Hi,
I bought tickets on Viagogo and then resold them on there. The original seller has now said they can't provide the tickets so the transaction has been cancelled meaning I cannot now supply my buyer. Viagogo are saying I am responsible and are going to charge me. I don't seem to be able to get anybody to understand the situation. How can I be held responsible?
Thanks

Do not use Viagogo
December 21, 2016

I've had exactly the same experience, extortionist fees, no contact via standard, customer srevice helpline or email. I tried unsuccessfulluy to contact a customer service agent at viagogo and only managed to get an automatic telephone service based somewhere in the UK. I would never use them again... ever. They are listed as a Swiss company and yet have over 100 employees at a facility in Ireland and presumably at other locations in UK. It is not possible to contact them at any of their supposed physical addresses.
