11/3/23

I purchased Eagles and Steely Dan tickets for Atlanta, Georgia State Farm on 10/28 and $88 event parking pass with ticket insurance. I immediately received a concert ticket and added it to my Apple wallet. I do not show anywhere in my email receipt of the parking pass email. I was traveling so I did not have time to further my investigation or call them the day of the event as I was driving to Atlanta. And very busy traffic day of event. There were several parking lots that said EVENT PARKING and the traffic was RIDICULOUS. Having not received a having an email with an address to this particular parking lot that I paid $88 for, I was certainly not going to be able drive from Lot to lot asking if this is the "official event parking". Trying to drive around and find the right parking lot and speak to an agent regarding the missing pass that was never emailed to me was ABSOLUTELY not feasible. Cars were bumper-to-bumper. I would've never made it into the concert in time. So, I did what anybody would do eager to get to event on time, I paid an additional $55 for a parking lot that was close and walked to the event. While walking to the event, I heard from other concert goers that the opening act Steely Dan would not be there because the singer was sick. It was extremely disappointed as my personal reasons for seeing these two bands together, we're going to be a dedication to my deceased father, who played both bands and his cover band. He passed away when I was 14. My point of the complaint is I paid for insurance for this $88 event parking ticket that I never received details on, directions for or location and part of the show did not show up (Steely Dan) if that's not what you pay insurance for, don't know what it is. I even asked for just a partial reimbursement, maybe the $55 to cover the cost of the spontaneous parking lot I have found in order to find a spot to get into the concert. They just kept repeating "we see it on our end. We sent it to your email and we show your IP address." Why would I upload one ticket to my Apple wallet and not the other at the same time? If truly "emailed at the same time". Why would I pay insurance for a ticket If if it doesn't honor any sort of issue like one band not showing up or inability to find a parking lot because you never got directions? The Eagles were phenomenal but not worth paying for two parking spots when I already spent $800 for a ticket for the event. I tried to have them reach me in the middle and just ask for reimbursement for the $55 that I had to spend on the additional parking but they would not budge. I'm now contesting this on my card because I purchase something I never received.

Tip for consumers:
What is the purpose of buying insurance for a ticket? If situation’s like? You never emailed it to me. Do not cover it? I could be a real $#*! and ask for a partial refund for the concert ticket because I purchased a concert ticket for the Eagles and Steely Dan and Steely Dan did not show, but I’m not going to do that. I am just asking for a partial refund for the parking that I could never find a lot for it because they never sent me the address.

Products used:
I purchased a concert ticket and parking pass both with insurance. The concert ticket was immediately sent to my email and I uploaded it to my Apple wallet. If as they say they sent the parking ticket at the same time I do not see it and why would I upload one to my Apple wallet, if that was accurate and not the other, if they were actually sent it together at the same time, they were not sent together at the same time, in fact, I do not find the parking pass anywhere. They resent it to me on the day I called to complain, but that was after the concert pointless

Hi Jen, we encourage you to contact your ticket seller directly for further information about insurance protection. Ticket sellers are the ones who charge customer credit cards and thus are responsible for any refunds. Thank you!
