I wish to God I'd read these reviews before I paid out for tickets to a Yankees game in New York.
It bought 2 tickets for my partner as the game was on his birthday.
Repeatedly lied to and mugged off.
How and why are these scumbags getting away with still being in business?
I'm going to contact Watchdog - if they get enough complaints about the same company they will look into it.
I urge everyone NOT to buy from this company and for the rest of us to contact Watchdog.

OK, what a fool am I... Bought tickets for our wedding anniversary for Cirque du Soleil. Apparently, only a few tickets were left, so I felt no option but to pay the horrendous price, as it was our anniversary. I received the tickets via email, printed them out, and they are only worth $100 per ticket. So I just over paid $600. No news from viagogo if I will ever retrieve my money. What wankers.
This is a borderline "day light robbery" site. Here you will find all possible (and latest) digital tricks to deprive you from your money. From reselling price going to 200%-400% of original price, to various dubious fees that only optimizing revenue of this pirate site. Customer service is only "smoke screening" these "digital gangsters", targeting older (but also naive younger) customers. Disgusting business model - and shame this is allowed
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
Ordered tickets not realising this site is not connected to theatre box office. Tickets plus charges cost £153 and only found out when tickets arrived in somebody elses name who had paid £17.90 for them. Rang box office who told me how these people work and I felt totally hacked off!
Well you live and learn but how is it that these people get away with daylight robbery. Keep well away from this site at all costs!
Got a good price on lawn seats. Must've been too good because they refused to fulfill them but said I could go back and purchase different ones which were twice the price. They say the tickets are guaranteed but thats not remotely true.
I purchased tickets for a concert I really wanted to go with my daughter. This is the first and last time I would use ever this site. When I got the tickets the mark was 100% above the actual face value of the ticket. I have purchased tickets before on line and have paid an additional costs for booking fees etc but never twice the price. They should be charged with fraud as the say ticket might cost a bit more but this is daylight robbery. If I could give them zero stars that's what they would get.
Bad experience I have gone to bank to put in dispute resolution as I paid via credit card and haven't received legitimate tickets. More people that do this world wide the better, my bank is very interested and investigating. Bank contacted me on Friday to bring in all correspondence emails to and from VIAGOGO. So they are taking this seriously. I suggest all you others do the same. Keep your paper trail.
Robbing gits- a complete scam. Tickets were very expensive (£478) and refused at the gig. I bought as a gift and absolutely gutted. How do they get away with it? Very clever website that looks very original. Anyone know of any means of getting the cash back?
I paid way over the odds for tickets to see Dixie Chicks at Manchester Arena from Viagogo. I needed to sell one of four tickets and listed the ticket on Viagogo. I reduced the price during the last week when there were very few tickets left for Block 115. Did not sell but at the concert someone was sitting in my unsold seat! When I contacted Viagogo the next day expecting a refund they said that they were unable to sell my ticket! I sent three e mails and got the same reply every time. I will never use this ticket site again and would advise everybody to stay clear. It's a SCAM site!
Viagogo refuses to give me the tickets For Pearl Jam. Concert postponed due to Covid. Now that the concert is happening, Viagogo can't find them. Are you kidding me? They owe me $600. In criminal law that's called theft. In Viagogo world it's called "sorry, we'll look into it" das pass and they defer call after call. Never will I use them again, nor should you unless you have money to burn. Buyer beware.
On Oct 2018 I purchased 2 tickets for a gig in March 2019 at £125 total cost. Tickets had still not arrived one week prior to gig. Contacting Viagogo support I was told that I would receive e-tickets rather than physical tickets. When the e-ticket was downloaded for Viagogo and printed the e-ticket proved to be a PDF of a Gmail box email and not a ticket at all. Screenshot of PDF is attached here as proof.
From my experience Viagogo is a scam and buyers should beware.
I sold a coldplay ticket on the platform and nearly two months after the event, I am struggling to get SGD 260 back. Why doesnt Singapore Government Ban them? They are complete THUGS! I have given them my bank account statement for period they claim, they made the refund but still nothing. Will take money through Credit Card but wont refund on the same. Why? Coz otherwise how will they cheat you!
I have already written about my experience. There are so many that not all are read in their entirety. I encourage everyone to file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission, I did. I talked to someone there on April 8,2019. They don't handle individual complaints but if they receive several they will take action. There is a current pending case that the FTC is involved with in the UK. All you have to do is fill out a form, write your experience and email it to them. One voice may be loud, several will be heard.
I had not purchased tickets online before. I wanted to take my grandchildren to an event in town during their spring break that was scheduled for April 4,2019. March 29,2019 I made the mistake of purchasing tickets from Viagogo. The same day the tickets were emailed to me, but they had someone elses name. I called to let them know about the tickets and to cancel and was told I would have to resell the tickets. I then got the run around about only being able to sell up to 4 days prior to the event. The following day I found out that the seats numbers assigned to the tickets were invalid. I was told by Viagogo that this would be researched. After the event came and went I was told that I couldn't get a refund since the event had already occurred. After that I was ignored. I encourage everyone of you to file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission; I did. If enough of us speak up to the FTC about Viagogo. The Federal Trade Commission will step in. It's easy, you only have to let them know about your experience.
My Hubby ordered Race course tickets from them 6 weeks before the event, 3 days before we were due to go, they sent an Email cancelling the purchase and just put the money back in the bank! No Explanation and we had family coming for the day from far away, time booked off, hotel rooms booked, disgusting.
They charge 150% more then advertised price of official tickets with no money back guarantee. If concert is canceled they label it as postponed for unlimited time. I bought tickets for Rage Against the Machine and when they canceled tour and said that all fans should get their money back Viagogo did not return money. Just labeled tour as postponed. Since when? 2050?!? Avoid avoid avoid. Please do not buy tickets from them even if you want to go to that concert so hard. I am just one of hundred thousands of victims. Be warned.
I have just spent nearly £500 for Queen at Nottingham 5th December. Put them back for sale as I made a mistake. 2 have been sold, 1 left. They say I cannot get my money back until after the show, which is 8 months away, but, I am expected to pay, as well as the person that has just bought them from me. This is disgraceful, how do I report this
Ripped of, never use this agency. Total disgusted at their shifty seating allocation scam. To pay $129.00 a ticket then get tickets costed at $89.00 is a disgrace. That means I was charged a
Over $ 200 booking fee. I will never purchase from you again and will advise every man and his dog to avoid you like a plague
Bought two tickets to Manu Chao. Face value 80 euros, somehow I ended up paying 250! So confused as to how that happened. I sent emails about tickets having not turned up but NEVER heard back from them. Impossible to contact them, no phone number to call. This is criminal!
Answer: My tickets were real but I was scared the person whose name was on the ticket would turn up with id. A R600 ticket the price on the ticket which we were not told ended up being twice that. Would I use them again? NO
Answer: So frustrated surely there must be something we can do, surely this is not legal?
Answer: For is it was a total con. They showed prices in HK dollars and then charged in US dollars. We paid $4000 US dollars for two Madonna tickets. There's literally no phone number on their site and it's impossible to get in touch with customer service. Don't buy tickets here. You'll be sorry. They even charged us $500 for a service fee. Really insane!
Answer: Hi Bryan! Viagogo is a ticket marketplace that allows individuals to buy and sell tickets for live events. Once you purchase with viagogo you are covered by our guarantee: http://www.viagogo.co.uk/landingpage/1044610 Kind regards, Ana
Answer: No they don't. I will never ever make any purchase frm viagogo and I will warn you not to. They deducted my money from my back without my acknowledgement in Dec and guess what, I received the same email frm them that they will be deducting the amount from my bank again due to me not able to produce the ticket. My reason is that event organiser close down my seating section. Ended up have to go thru my bank to get the money back from them. They are the worst.
Answer: If in doubt, always try and pay by credit card so have a certain amount of protection/insurance. There's a lot of fraudulent ticket sales going on all over at the moment, so do your homework, read reviews and always use a secure method of payment if you decide to proceed.
