The company's reputation is significantly marred by a consistent pattern of customer dissatisfaction, primarily due to issues related to ticket availability, inflated pricing, and inadequate customer service. Customers frequently report receiving invalid tickets, last-minute notifications, and a lack of effective support when seeking refunds or resolution. While some users may have had positive experiences, these are overshadowed by widespread claims of fraud and poor service. The overall sentiment reflects a strong caution against using the platform, highlighting a pressing need for improved transparency and customer support to rebuild trust.

The viagogo's system made me double sell my tickets by solit the group sell, and charged me full tickets price as the seller charge which is if I could send the tickets out I have to pay the penalty. I send the email to viagogo to explain and call them, unfortunately no reply at all! I don't believe the penalty goes to the buyer because I really inform the buyer I have no ticket to send out as soon as the purchased the tickets, so all my penalty and maybe the buyer's money all went to viagogo. Anyway, Viagogo got no customer services at all!
We bought tickets for Bruno Mars, charged the credit card, but no tickets. It says our "seller is no longer able to supply you tickets"
How about on the day before the event, at 11:30 in the morning you get an email telling you that the event has been moved to a day earlier (today) at 7PM? Oh, by the way, the email also states that viagogo cannot refund the ticket as the event has not been cancelled not it can resell it (of course, given that the game is in about 7 hours from the notice they would need to send a "scalper" on site...).
Incidentally, I booked on July 27 for a game on August 12 and confirmed locally that the game had always been scheduled for August 11, which makes it obvious that the mistake was on viagogo's end. For sure the game was not rescheduled the same day!
When I contacted customer service I got a very legalistic reply to the effect that the small prints on the ordermake it clear that it is the customer responsibility to confirm the date of the event... thanks but no thanks! For the hefty cost that viagogo charges on tickets one would expect them to treat their customers with more... care!
They misrepresent the price of the ticket, only adding what they will charge you once you have entered your card details. I saw price had doubled (!) so pushed cancel and closed the window. They ran through the transaction anyway. I contacted them to tell them to reverse the transaction since they didn't have my permission - they refused.
By the way, tickets I received are not what I wanted and have another person's name on them. STAY AWAY!
Paid for good tickets to philip glass ensemble for feb 2018. Received restricted viewing tickets instead. Viagogo told me to send them back and i would receive the correct tickets. They never came in the post. They are now in possession of the restricted viewing tickets and I've just received an email saying the case is closed because the original incorrect tickets were delivered. I've gotten no other response to several emails explaining what happened. Thieves! Total scum
I chose my 5 places for J. Clegg Concert as on an official site, and received tickets with face value 1/3 of the price I paid for. Complete dishonest site. Never use them
I bought a ticket for 226 euro which I never received and the worst part is that I missed the event.
Terrible customer care (N)...
I would never recommend this page to anyone, the only thing I would say is log out from this page and never visit it again.
This site absolute rip off bought tickets for Edinburgh tattoo via there site. They game across as official site. But are ticket resellers. There is no way in hell you can contact them through any site. Just try before you hopefully don't buy. Ask them a question you will never ever get a reply. Paid $600 for tickets I thought was premium but alas face value of tickets only $70. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS SITE. YOU WILL REGRET IT
I bought 2 tickets but when I went to the event found the tickets wear fake!
So I contact them and they sad (unfortunately we will not be able to refund you)
Viagogo "warning will Robinson" They totally mislead on line saying they are main ticket seller. Tickets totally over priced as I found correct autherised seller. Tickets and fees seamed cheaper as they used US$ not $A refused refund. Fees Over priced by 5x. They cant let you pick seats like autherised seller can. I am trying to recover ticket prices via Credit card company and warning others they are totally deceptive.
Viagogo sold us tickets for $420 each (face value $40) but the agent wasn't there when we went to collect tickets. Family flights and this cost meant that we spent £8000 to get to an event that we couldn't get entry to. Viagogo refusing to accept responsibility for selling us tickets they could not legally sell us and now the Board of Comic Con are investigating Viagogo and their San Diego partner Atlas Tickets. We are also persuing a separate legal claim
Это не компания, это простой развод! НИКОГДА не покупайте ничего через них! Это просто чистой воды ОБМАН! Купила билет на мессу в 4 раза дороже! и реальную цену узнала только при снятии денег с карты! Сторнировать билеты нельзя, как впрочем и получить их трудно. Ужасная контора.
I posted tickets for sale for the Andrea Bochelli concert. They sold. Then a week before the event I get an Email from Viagogo that there was an issue with the buyer and the transaction was cancelled.
I decided then to go to Italy. And guess what. My tickets had ready been picked up. By the very same people that bought the tickets...
So never ever sell anything there.
We sent 6 tickets to them worth £1000. They sold them then promptly told us the 'buyers' had cancelled. They didn't return our tickets!
Total scam! After you confirm purchade they add costs. My 29 ticket became 44! More than face value for the concert
I bought 4 tickets fro Gypsie Kings in Marbella 3rd August 2018, was charged 492 euros and got 4 x 28 euro tickets. This is the first time I've bought tickets like this, and it was a special treat for my daughters birthday. My fault for being fooled, but very clever website putting you under pressure to buy tickets at ridiculously inflated prices. Surely it's illegal! Please someone close them down, if only I'd looked at the reviews before I bought the tickets I could have got a VIP box for less! Leave well alone and go straight to the organiser. 0 stars! It really doesn't get any worse.
NO CUSTOMER SERVICE, DECEITFUL PRACTICES, DO NOT USE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.
After a change of circumstances I had to sell some tickets (with 3 weeks left till event).
I listed the tickets on the website and received an email saying that I needed to upload proof (which is fair enough). I uploaded a photo of the tickets the next day, their promise is to review within 72 hours, but a week later my listing still hadn't been reviewed and wasn't active.
I looked for a customer service number but there isn't one. The only way to contact them is via twitter, and they just direct you to the help section on the website, where the only information is that you should give it 72 hours.
I had been checking the listing every day to check if it had gone live and it had said "your listing is under review". It was only after I had threated them with legal action that I finally got a response, they said that I needed to upload proof which seemed strange.
And the next time I logged on there was a different message to upload proof, and the photo that I had uploaded a week and a half earlier had been deleted.
At that point I just removed the listing and sent a tweet, managed to sell them within a couple of days.
I have now deleted my account, and have vowed to never buy or sell from them again.
I will never use this service again. They charged me for a ticket and didn't send me no ticket and no money back. Be careful guys
I couldn't get hold of tickets and to be honest couldn't be bothered refreshing my PC screen to get face value ones at 9am on a Friday morning.
Came across viagogo and had no problems. Yes, I paid a little more, but the charges and fees where ok and clear, and the tickets arrived a week before the event via DHL. No problems and enjoyed the event. Thank you Viagogo
I'd give them 0 stars if it were possible. Total rip-off, they let ticket scammers use their site, they don't read the messages you send to them, they ignore the info in their own messages to you... Truly the worst experience of this kind EVER. And I'm 62 years old.
Answer: My tickets were real but I was scared the person whose name was on the ticket would turn up with id. A R600 ticket the price on the ticket which we were not told ended up being twice that. Would I use them again? NO
Answer: So frustrated surely there must be something we can do, surely this is not legal?
Answer: For is it was a total con. They showed prices in HK dollars and then charged in US dollars. We paid $4000 US dollars for two Madonna tickets. There's literally no phone number on their site and it's impossible to get in touch with customer service. Don't buy tickets here. You'll be sorry. They even charged us $500 for a service fee. Really insane!
Answer: Hi Bryan! Viagogo is a ticket marketplace that allows individuals to buy and sell tickets for live events. Once you purchase with viagogo you are covered by our guarantee: http://www.viagogo.co.uk/landingpage/1044610 Kind regards, Ana
Answer: No they don't. I will never ever make any purchase frm viagogo and I will warn you not to. They deducted my money from my back without my acknowledgement in Dec and guess what, I received the same email frm them that they will be deducting the amount from my bank again due to me not able to produce the ticket. My reason is that event organiser close down my seating section. Ended up have to go thru my bank to get the money back from them. They are the worst.
Answer: If in doubt, always try and pay by credit card so have a certain amount of protection/insurance. There's a lot of fraudulent ticket sales going on all over at the moment, so do your homework, read reviews and always use a secure method of payment if you decide to proceed.
