No Service No Refund

In May, I didn’t get into the club. No problem.
I didn’t get the €80 for the tickets refunded. Nobody cares. Dislike for Katerblau and Resident Advisor for the terrible service!

As I can see from the reviews of Katerblau on Google, this is a frequent complaint.

Hi Nikolai,

Thanks for taking the time to leave your review. I can see that you did not respond to our email from last year.

As you raised a chargeback with your bank, this prevented us from being able to issue your refund.

We will contact you again directly in regards to this.

Kind regards,
Team RA

Great service and a platform ahead of its time

I have used RA for years and always been happy, but the recent help they’ve given me has made me sure they’re the best ticketing site around. I had purchased Sunday-only tickets for Waterworks 2026 festival and I emailed the RA team asking to exchange them for weekend tickets… Kirstin and Jack came back to me very quickly saying they’d be more than happy to help and walking me through how I could make the exchange. Add this to the fact the app/platform itself is ahead of its time, with a great interface, and an easy/safe way to sell tickets!

I'm super happy with the way they have solved my problem, professional and efficient. Thank you so much RA, you folks are amazing!

Customer service is so efficient. They always reply in a timely manner & communication is very direct. + website is really easy to navigate. I recently bought 2 tickets & requested a refund as we were not able to attend - got a confirmation on the same day that I'll get a refund. Very happy with this service. Thanks!

They took £13 of my ticket just for me to press resell on their app? They did nothing here but give my tickets to someone else and get the surcharge from them as well. Some shady business.

Hi Nick,

I've just taken a look for you and can see that you've been successfully refunded and have been reimbursed the same amount as originally paid (minus the non-refundable fee) as per our Purchase Policy.

Please see below:

4.4 As with point 3 of our refund policy, if your ticket resells RA will only refund the face value of the ticket. Any fees will not be refundable. Where there has been no separate fee charged with your ticket purchase, RA shall deduct a administrative fee from the ticket price when processing your refund. Your ticket will be sold at the final price point for tickets of the type that you purchased. You will not be compensated for the difference between the price at which you bought the ticket and the price at which it is resold.

Kind regards,
Team RA

RA’s "Support" demands the impossible to avoid issuing refunds

RA makes it unnecessarily difficult—almost impossible—to reclaim a refund. A month ago, I sold a ticket on their platform. Between the purchase and the resale, I changed banks. RA automatically triggered the refund to my closed card.

I followed their instructions and contacted support, but their response was a total departure from common sense. They provided an Acquirer Reference Number (ARN) and told me to ask my old bank to "transfer" the money. Under EU regulations, a transfer to a closed account is automatically rejected and returned to the sender. I played their game anyway, and predictably, my old bank refused to assist me because I am no longer a client.

When I relayed this, the support team doubled down on the absurdity. They told me they would only open an investigation if I provided:
“a letter headed document from my old bank stating that the refunds havent landed in the account, and they’re unable to trace the funds using the ARN provided (it must state the ARN in the letter)”

What kind of dream world does this support team live in? In the real world, a bank will not perform administrative labor or issue personalized, stamped letters for someone who is no longer a customer. It is a fundamental contradiction: they want a formal document from an institution that has no legal or commercial obligation to talk to me.

It would take RA minutes to check their own accounts for the returned funds, but instead, they demand a document that is effectively impossible to obtain. This feels like a deliberate tactic to stonewall users. I will never buy tickets from RA again; there are plenty of other players in the market who actually understand how banking works and treat their users with basic honesty.

Hi Mingchy,

Thanks for taking the time to leave your review. I can see that this refund was issued on the 6th of February. It can take a while for the funds to bounce back to us, and my colleagues have followed to correct procedure.

As we have already mentioned to you, we have checked our accounts and the funds have not been returned to us.

We kindly ask that you cooperate with us to help locate your funds.

Kind regards,
Team RA
