Hi there, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. We understand how frustrating it can feel when there are multiple steps involved. Some events and venues require tickets to be accessed through their preferred ticketing platform as part of the delivery and security process, which helps ensure the tickets remain valid for entry. We appreciate your understanding.

Convenient but Pricey Tickets

Since I don’t have a smartphone, I couldn’t download the app to get the tickets. I had to wait until the afternoon the day before the show to receive the tickets, which made me nervous. The tickets were expensive, each $40 more than our neighbor in the balcony.

Hi there, thanks for sharing your feedback. We understand how waiting until closer to the event can feel concerning, especially without access to the app. Ticket delivery timing may depend on when the venue releases tickets, and prices can vary by listing based on factors such as location, demand, and seller pricing. We appreciate your feedback and hope to provide a smoother experience in the future.

I could not find my ordered tickets. The program is a week away and I started to get worried. I was assured they would be delivered via email before the concert.

Hi there, thanks for sharing your feedback. We understand how frustrating it can be when multiple steps and apps are required to access your tickets. Some venues use their own designated ticketing platform, such as Ticketmaster, for delivery and security purposes. While this helps keep tickets valid for entry, we recognize the process can feel more complicated than expected and appreciate you bringing it to our attention.
