It is fairly easy to book, however it is not immediately visible what is the seat number after you select the number of tickets. I used the mobile app. Otherwise, easy to check out.

Reasonably easy booking service. However you've got to get on with it otherwise you will get timed out. I had to clear it with my bank for the transaction to take place which took a few minutes.... See more

The experience of buying my tickets was ok but!

The experience of buying my tickets was ok. The only aspect that could be easier and more convenient for customers and build trust in the app would be prompt ticket availability after a successful payment.
Completing the buying process without getting the tickets was weird.

Hi there, thank you for the 4-star review!

We’re glad the booking process itself went smoothly. Tickets are not always released immediately after purchase, as some events require additional processing before tickets are issued.

We appreciate your feedback and understand how having tickets available straight away can provide extra reassurance.

Good experience except for the charge for an electronic ticket

No issues entering the site, chose my seat from the seat map with view, excellent ticket purchase experience. Only complaint I have is being charged £2.50 for an electronic ticket, most other sites don’t charge for this

Scam company

If I could have given 0 stars I would have done. This company took £40 then £45 for 4 tickets valued at £52. They sent me an email with a link which didn’t work, and then I found that the venue don’t sell concert tickets and so I bought direct from the band. Beware!!

Scam site beware

Scam site beware. Booked two tickets on Eventim for a concert. The order did not process so i tried again and booked a further two tickets which again did not process. On my Eventim account it clearly states both transactions were cancelled however Eventim have taken both payments from my account. I have now paid for 4 tickets but still have no tickets for the actual event. Disappointing, time wasting and frustrating experience. AVOID EVENTIM.

Hi there, thank you for your review - we’re really sorry for the frustration this caused.

I have checked both attempted orders and can confirm there was an error during the booking process which meant payment was taken, but the orders were not fully created successfully.

This has been automatically picked up by our finance team this morning, and a manual refund has now been issued. Please allow up to 5 working days for the funds to return to your original payment method.

We apologise again for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience while this was resolved.

Huge booking fee? Delivery charge for an email? Really?

Simon Brodkin in Hastings

The booking process was simple and I quickly purchased my two £45 tickets.

That’s £90, right?

Wrong!

Add in a booking fee of £9.95 each and a delivery charge of £2.50 and suddenly my tickets have jumped up to £112.40

That’s a price hike of almost 25%

Why?

Edit to respond to the reply.
Thank you for the courtesy of the reply.
Yes, I could see the cost but…
….if I want to see Simon in Hastings I’m left with no alternative.

It’s like tax, I know how much but I can’t do much about it…except leave.

You’ve already scalped me for an extra £9.95 and then you add £2.50 for replying with an email.

No postage, no tickets, just an email.

I’m left wondering if I can buy shares in Eventim?

Hi there, thank you for your feedback.

We understand the additional fees can feel frustrating. The ticket price itself is set by the promoter/venue, while the extra charges help cover the costs associated with arranging and managing ticket inventory, payment processing, and maintaining the systems used to deliver tickets securely.

All fees are displayed during the booking process before payment is completed so customers can review the full total before confirming their order. We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts.

Charge for downloading tickets onto app

I resent quite a lot being charged £2.50 in order to download the tickets onto the app that is on my phone. I do not know what this charge is for as there are already venue and booking fees charged and although it could previously be a postal charge, that cannot be the case now. I think it just seems to be another way to make money on booking tickets.

Hello Sandy,

Thank you for your feedback.

We understand your concerns regarding the delivery charge for digital tickets. While tickets are now often delivered electronically rather than by post, the delivery fee does not relate solely to physical postage. It also contributes towards the operation and maintenance of the secure ticketing systems, app functionality, fraud prevention measures, and customer support services associated with delivering and managing tickets digitally.

All charges, including booking and delivery fees, are clearly displayed during the checkout process before payment is completed, allowing customers to review the full cost before confirming their order.
