The company's reputation is marred by significant customer dissatisfaction, primarily stemming from poor customer service and technical issues. Many customers report difficulties accessing their accounts, long hold times, and inadequate support for ticket-related problems. Concerns about cybersecurity and the inability to transfer or resell tickets exacerbate frustrations. Conversely, some positive feedback highlights an easy-to-navigate website and helpful customer service representatives who resolve issues when contacted. Overall, while the company offers a wide selection of tickets, its customer service and technical reliability require substantial improvement to enhance user experience and trust.

They sold me the incorrect tickets and would not change to correct tickets or refund my money. Their customer service is rude and not helpful at all. Never use these people. Go to Stubhub!
I ordered tickets for Bruno Mars concert and requested to have the tickets mailed to my address. After waiting the designated 7 - 10 business days per the email, I waited a few more days. I then called in an attempt to have either the tickets resent or emailed to me. The representative I spoke with simply told me to keep waiting. When I asked for a time period they just said keep waiting and if it does not come I can get it to will call. I paid $500+ for the tickets and would feel more comfortable if I had the tickets in advance. After requesting to speak to a supervisor, I was placed on hold for 20 minutes before they hung up on me. I will purchase any tickets through Ticketmaster again. I was astounded by the customer service provided by such a company.
These people are crooks, They overcharged me by 100.00 per ticket. I purchased them the first day they came on sale a8 Months in advance.
The venue called the day of the concert and told me that I had purchased cheap seats and that they were giving me a free upgrade. The upgrade consisted of a front & center ticket for 100.00 less per ticket. This company is a rip off!
Opened an account with the hope of getting tickets for a show going on sale. They sold out in 2 minutes. The only tickets available were resale sights. Really? What's with all of this confirming you're not a robot nonsense then?

Ticketmaster is a massive company, makes billions of dollars and is not accountable to anyone but their stockholders. Being a near-monopoly, they feel as though they do not have to address customers' problems that pop up. Their refusal to to negotiate consumer concerns will eventually be their undoing. Enough is enough for me. They provided a chart to choose seats but after I purchased the seats, they changed the configuration so that I am no longer in the front row. Because of bad knees I can only sit in the front row. I would not have purchased the tickets. They not only refused to give me a refund or change seats, they would not let me re-sell them (even at face value) because it is a ticketless event. I spend thousands a year on tickets and have finally reached the final straw. I urge everyone to either buy tickets at the box office if available or simply not go to the concert. There will be other concerts. Unless the public takes a stand, Ticketmaster will not change.
Do not rely on these guys for any service whatsoever! All they will do is sell the tickets and that's it! Ridiculous after people spend thousands of dollars on tickets. I get more and better service buying a coffee at Tim Hortons!
Ticket master has sold out to third party sellers called " ticket master resale " stay away from anything that states ticket master, tickets won't be secured but payment will be taken, don't risk it use other sites like ticket tek, you have been warned
I'm trying to buy ticktes for the addc concert in Washington. The mesage is always the same: the map is actingo up. Ridiculous. Don't know what the hell happend to this company. Last year I bougth tickets for the U2 concert and a broadway musical. No problem at all. Now, the site is totally useless.
Have spent hours unsuccessfully trying to buy tickets for Donny and Marie in Las Vegas. The site security which tries to make sure you are not a robot simply does not work. I keep getting the message saying that the map is acting up. Nor can you buy tickets over the phone as they are too busy presumably dealing with hundreds of dissatisfied customers. When you finally get to buy your ticket you are then charged another 20 percent for extra charges. Suggest you buy your tickets elsewhere.
My complaints are simple. If the price says $42.50 then I expect maybe $5 of additional fees but by the time I entered my payment information the price was $63.00. The site is just full of questionable and aggressive marketing tactics. As soon as you submit payment you are redirected to pages of other aggressive marketing schemes offering FREE cruises, magazines, etc. I was just expecting better from a company that is so widely recognizable and used by so many entertainers and organizations. I know better for next time I guess!
Tried to purchase Coldplay tickets through Ticketmaster's web site during presale... chose seats, went to pay for them, and received message "Sorry, we cannot complete this transaction at this time." End result: tickets disappeared. Tried again... same result. Tried a third time... same message. A week later, during regular ticket sale, SAME THING! Contacted customer support... got a "canned" email apology with an 800 number for assistance. Worthless... no human answered. Will NEVER purchase tickets through this joke-of-a-business. They don't give a rat's a** about customer service.
I bought four online tickets ($500) by mistake to the wrong copa America game taking place at Soldier Field, Chicago. A simple wrong click of mouse.
This is one month ahead of the event. I called them right away to explain it was the wrong purchase and they said they would have to check with the venue (client). They called back saying they can't refund or exchange. I asked to speak with the supervisor but no help.
I have worked in retail and have been a client myself for over 30 years and have never experienced worse customer service. I'm stuck having to go to a game I don't want to watch... Never again dealing with their bs! Oh and if I try to resell the tickets through them, there's a total fee of $200.
Just outrageous. Stay away people...
I bought tickets to a show in Durham NC for May the 7th, 2016. To see DWELE perform. I bought the tickets in MARCH. We got to the show and sat through the first half and no DWELE! Then people in the audience started asking where is DWELE. So, I went out to the box office and they told me he pulled out the show five months ago. So, ticket master was still selling tickets for DWELE to perform when I bought my ticket. Now there telling me its nothing they can do! TICKET MASTER IS DOING FALSE ADVERTISEMENT TO SELL TICKETS! This is not the end of this matter. And the ART OF COOL FESTIVAL WILL NOT RETURN MY CALLS. I HAVE BEEN CALLING FOR 3 DAYS. They are the organization that had the show!
My friends and I brought three tickets for a concert and never received our tickets because the tickets that they sold us actually didn't exist and even though we got a refund it just wasted our time and almost wasted $390 dollars, like how do you screw up that badly? It took five emails and three phone calls for them to tell us that we weren't actually getting the tickets, worst day ever I'd say.
Absolute worse customer service in the web world; their main number was busy all day today, their FAQ does not work. If at all possible avoid Ticketmaster.
I ordered my tickets BEFORE christmas and after the 10-14 day delivery estimate they havent come in... its march 10th and my event is april 1st- 3rd
24 dollars in random bull$#*! fees. You guys are $#*!ing ridiculous. You charge 30% of the $#*!ing cost of the ticket just to sell it. Go $#*! yourselves $#*!ing jew $#*!s
Per Kentucky statute 518.070, selling tickets above face value is illegal.
Answer: I had this exact same problem and after multiple attempts to contact TicketMaster customer service still haven't been able to get this issue resolved. Have been getting the runaround from TM "Fan Support" via Twitter for a week and a half now (PS - Twitter was the only avenue for contacting TM customer service where I actually got a response from someone - had also tried their toll free Cust Svc phone number and got a recording saying that phone number isn't being monitored; also tried emailing their Cust Svc email account and got auto-reply saying that isn't being monitored either and directing me to their Cust Svc FAQs which say that in order to reach Cust Svc, you need to log into your account - but of course I was blocked from being able to do that because they think I'm a bot). Good luck with this - hope you can get a response from them. I still haven't been able to get any resolution of this same issue with my TM account. Once I get this resolved, I'll never do business with them again!
Answer: No, mine was a price jump
