It was a horrific event due to gender imbalance - way more men than women. Organiser of a dating event should be able to take care of that.

fake events, no support. hard to get money back

I come to buy a ticket after 8 and they said sold out.
2 girls show up while im there without tickets and they let them in.
I say wtf, host w british accent says "theyre friends of mine. Already counted them" (whatever that means).
BULLSHIT. DISCRIMINATORY AND ILLEGAL.
Ill contact fatsoma and leave reviews on trust pilot google and facebook.
Bunch of slags and losers.

Extremely isolating and people who show up with friends and in herds don't even make you feel welcome. Whether it's London, New York or Sydney, it's the same boring, loud and horrible type of unfriendly blokes who don't talk. What's the point of paying so much on this event when the whole point is to meet new people. Pitch your mate is nonsense.. if you are showing up alone, there's no way to pitch for you. It sucks. Men missing out on potential opportunities.

BEWARE: After attending a recent event, I've come to the conclusion that Thursday is a total scam.
First of all, there was no host. Not only did this mean that nobody made introductions, broke the ice, etc; it meant it wasn't even clear which part of the bar was "our" section.
In fact, there was nothing to indicate that a Thursday event was taking place at all - apart from a few lost-looking people like myself. There were no name tags and no designated area, which meant that on at least one occasion I went up and introduced myself to someone who wasn't attending a Thursday event at all (which didn't go down well with her boyfriend). Of course, the fee didn't include a free drink, either.
In conclusion, I'm struggling to understand what I paid for. Literally all they did was advertise a time and place for people to meet. I could have done that in a 2-line Facebook post.
I wrote to complain and ask for a refund, and more than two weeks later, they had not responded.

The event was advertised at The Alchemist, Spinningfields, but was last-minute moved to the New York Street branch due to low attendance — and no one informed attendees.

I arrived at the original venue at 7:30pm and only found out after nearly an hour that the event had been moved. I then travelled to the second venue, arriving at 8:45pm, to find around 10 people left and some already leaving. I effectively missed the event.

I’ve emailed requesting a refund due to the venue change and lack of notification, but received no response. Poor organisation and communication. Would not recommend.

I was at a single-only Padel Tournament | Padel Powers in Prague, Czechia

This was supposed to be a dating padel tournament, where they matched and changed couples randomly to maximize meeting everyone.

This was terribly organized, we had to wait 15min in the freezing cold because they screw-up the court booking, and the booking overlapped with other bookings.

After that we started playing for like 20min.

After these 20min, for some untold reason, they gave up everything, and decided that there is no formal organisation, and everyone does whatever they want.

This was very unprofessional, and defeats the whole purpose of the event.

EDIT: added one star because they refund me

Complaint against: Thursday Dating (Honeypot Dating Ltd) and Fatsoma Ltd

Summary of facts:
On September 20, 2025, I purchased a ticket for the Cannonball Singles Sunset Social through the Thursday app, which was processed by Fatsoma. The app’s checkout flow was broken, redirected incorrectly, and failed to confirm properly. After I raised legitimate complaints about the misleading and dysfunctional ticketing process, Thursday revoked my access to the event and claimed I was “not the right fit.” I was effectively banned from attending an event I paid for solely because I complained.

Fatsoma, as the ticketing processor and platform, failed to investigate my report, failed to intervene, and allowed the event organizer’s retaliation to stand. Their inaction makes them complicit in the organizer’s discriminatory and retaliatory behavior.

Allegations:
• Retaliation against a paying customer for raising a consumer complaint.
• Discrimination or exclusion without clear criteria.
• Deceptive and unfair business practices in ticketing and post-sale handling.
• Fatsoma’s complicity through refusal to investigate or remediate.

Legal basis:
Violations of California’s Unfair Competition Law (Bus. & Prof. Code §17200) and Consumers Legal Remedies Act (Civ. Code §1770) for deceptive and unfair practices.

Requested remedies:
1. A formal investigation into both Thursday Dating and Fatsoma.
2. An order requiring Fatsoma to preserve all related records, communications, and transaction data.
3. A written explanation from Fatsoma describing why the complaint was ignored and what corrective action will be taken.
4. Acknowledgment of this complaint and confirmation that a case has been opened within 24 hours of receipt.

Utter scam, they sell tickets with a fee, then cancel the event and pocket the fee without a chance for a refund.

Order (#B569A46F588B):

I accidentally bought the a general admission ticket (only ones left), thinking it was a female ticket (early bird and general admission female tickets sold out). I didnt want to risk turning up only to be told when I show my ID that its an entry ticket only for males and told I can't come in. So I mentioned this predicament in an email (i sent three emails to Thursday) and said that I wanted a refund on my essentially void ticket (not valid for a female like me). I havent heard back and the event has now passed and they have my money. They also cant come back and say I would have been let in now the event has happened (i contacted them prior to the event) as without knowing this, traveling to the event and risking being turned away isnt a risk I wanted to take. Now I have sent three emails, I actually feel ignored. I do actually want to go to another thursday event, but at this rate whilst being ignored - I wouldnt go and wouldnt recommend this company! Lack of customer service, but hoping they might redeem themselves. Ignoring isnt going to make this issue go away.

They don't care about making customers, terrible men/women ratio, Leeds organiser literally does nothing!!! They don't care once they have your money.

Cringe event where the organizer does nothing to help break the ice. They just book the venue, get some singer and that's kind of it.

People come in group of friends, and it's also on a Thursday (hello, most go to work next day).

I would just put it under "cringe". I had 0 expectations and glad I did
