This lady was rude and had a bad attitude. First of all we had to wait 30 min for anyone to answer that's ridiculous. She didn't seem concerned at all with the problems we had because your website you need to fix your customer service and website they both suck.
These people charge you for the "convenience" of using their site to get tickets, yet if you have to change something or if circumstances change, even if you contact them before the show time and with enough time to fix the problem, they refuse to do it and keep your money! This service mainly exists to enrich their pockets and screw customer service because they have none! I will never use them again and I will make sure all of my friends know of the shoddy and scam-like service they are working on people.
My ticket was totally wrong, had to make a special trip to the movie theater to correct it and re-do the seat-selection before the good seats ran out. Reported to Fandango, and they stated "the convenience fee is non-refundable"
- really, what in any way was convenient about that.
The worst service I have ever had. I wait 40 minutes and the customer service rep was rude. Use us based customer service reps. I will never use fandago again. They are very inflexible and charge more than the movies. Stay away from these crooks
My one birthday present was go to see a movie. Got a date we all got dressed up. Check my card with a full balance and picked the movie. After numerous attempts both website and app would not process my purchase and give me my tickets. Regardless of the time, theater or movie.
There's no one to fix it on their costumer service line, and there's no help online. They don't care about their costumes. You ruined my birthday. And are lucky you can hide in your corporate buildings. I am looking up the closest address for your company so I can ruin your day.
Thanks for robbing me. $#*!ting on my birthday and lying... I am recording all of the wasted time.
I am going to make you pay.
Get rid of the fee and I'll start using you again, every time I turn around companies are trying to nickel and dime you after you take the time to select what you want I'm not having it I'll just stop in and buy from ticket booth and use fandango just to find time.
The worst online service that I ever had. Never ever try to do it again. It did charge me 2 times and don't want to refund me the money... you guys should know how mad I am and how calm I was when I talked to their customer service. I reported the problem on July 4th and then they said they never had the conversation with me... I felt like... omg... this is full of brown solid ( you know what I meant)
I am suppose to be VIP. But anyways I ordered 2 tickets to go to see "All Eyes on Me" I was not able to go so, I clicked I am not able to go to the show, received a credit with Fandago the JOKE. On Saturday 07/08/17 I re-ordered the show for Sun 07/09/17 at 1:20 p. M an emergency came up I was not able to cancel. I called today, to see if I could receive a credit they tell me that I should of cancel a hour before the movie start. Smh I feel all they had to do is call the dam theather and see if we attending, and give me credit. I was not asking for my money back. SO NOW I TAKE A LOST. WHAT KIND OF $#*! IS THIS. $#*! FANDANGO!.
I used Fandango to purchase tickets to a movie because I had a coupon code for $5 off. My total showed the tickets plus the "convenience fee" minus the $5 coupon. I purchased the tickets but when I received my emailed receipt, the $5 had not been subtracted. I didn't have time to call customer service, so I emailed them instead. I didn't receive a response for over 48 hours. By this time, I had already used the tickets. I was told that they couldn't credit a completed order and they couldn't give me a refund because I had already used the tickets. They refused to resolve the issue. Their customer service is a joke and they are a bunch of crooks. Do not use this company under any circumstances!
I purchased 2 movie tickets and I went to the wrong theater location, I called fandango and they told me they couldn't give a refund or an exchange. PLEEEEAAAASSSEEE DO NOT PURCHASE any type of tickets here. Peace a crap reap off. They stole $40 I called the credit card to disputed and they told me they had to follow they're policy. Ugh I'm so upset money is hard to make and this people are thifs
I was on hold for a hour and technically they couldn't do anything about it no refund or anything. I call on my second phone they pick up within 5 minutes they need to get it together.
Fandango sells gift cards that are only redeemable on their app/website. The convenience fee of $1.50 is charged for all online tickets, no options. It would be understandable if it was per purchase, but noooo... it's per ticket. That is, simply, a scam. Do your loved ones a favor and dont gift them fandango cards.
Purposefully redirects your near-complete purchase to a "zipcode listed does not match card zipcode" or "Security code does not match" page BUT STILL CHARGES YOUR ACCOUNT. My bank personally contacted Fandango to dispute the charge but they claim their hands are tired and will have to wait for transaction to post to clear it. ABSOLUTE SCAM
I bought tickets to see despicable me 3 not 3D or imax. When i got to the theater it was in 3D. My 8 and 3 year old didnt really enjoy the movie so i tried to contact them to make things right and they were very rude. I will never use fandango again. I double checked my purchase history and it clearly says regular movie.
Give me a break - why bother using your stupid gift cards when you charge as much as $2.00 PER TICKET to purchase anything online. Simply terrible company. Avoiding you at all costs.
They just want your money, that all. We are so mad. No ticket.

I went on to buy tickets and it said there was an error. I found out they charged my card $28 and I got no tickets. I've been on hold with customer service and not been able to talk to anyone yet! I am way more than just pissed right now.
Someone should start a class action law suit on Fandango... for stealing peoples money... and let the IRS know their wrong doings... jerks!
They gave me several complications with my account and tv, absolute thieves and bull$#*!ters. There main goal is to take your money with overpriced movies and not refund your purchase. STAY AWAY!
I used the Fandango site on 6/9/2017 to purchase 3 tickets to Wonder Woman. There was an error during the transaction... and the transaction was cancelled. Unfortunately, my credit card was still charged $31.50. I contacted Fandango by chat 4 times via chat and 1 time by email. The first 3 times I contacted them, they stated that I needed to continue to wait the charge to fall off... since it did not actually transmit. This never happened... the charge remained posted to my credit card. The 4th time I contacted Fandango... they said that they couldn't help. I asked who I could contact to further discuss my problem, the disatcher ended the call. I will not be using Fandango in the future!
