Unable to purchase 2 tix to a show

I was unable to purchase two tix to a show as it would have left an open single seat. So the seat selection in that part of the theatre was three seats or not at all. How is this the consumer’s problem? The purchase algorithm needs reconsideration. Thank you.

Hi Joanne,

Thank you for your review and sorry to hear about the issue you were having making this booking.

SeatPlan aggregate deals via our trusted ticketing providers, which means that our maps show tickets that the theatre supplies to these ticketing providers. Unfortunately, when this notification pops up it is a rule set by the venue themselves, disallowing any booking that leaves a single seat on their map - including seats in different price bands. I'm afraid that as this is a policy set by the venues, we're unable to override this on our end at SeatPlan - if we were able to do so we absolutely would.

It doesn't look like we have an email from you in our help@seatplan.com inbox, but if you’re ever experiencing an issue on the website, please don't hesitate to get in touch so we can assist in any way we can.

We appreciate how frustrating this must be, and sincerely apologise for any inconvenience. We do hope you were able to book some great alternative seats on this occasion.

Kind Regards,
Team SeatPlan

Will I really get my tickets?

I am unsure as to when I will get my tickets , and this is very stressful. I don't have a number to call, I feel like I've been scammed.

Hi Tory,

Thank you for your review. We’re very sorry to hear that you have not yet received your e-tickets.

Ordinarily, e-tickets should arrive within 30 minutes of receiving the confirmation email. Quite often, the e-tickets will be accidentally flagged as junk, due to these emails containing an attachment, but if they are not in the junkmail folder, instructions on how to get these e-tickets re-sent are stated in our confirmation email, or you can always reach out to us at help@seatplan.com for assistance.

It doesn't look like we have an email from you in help@seatplan.com inbox, but we always encourage customers to reach out to us via email for assistance should they not receive their e-tickets or have any other issues with their booking, as our customer service team can assist via email much more easily than we can via TrustPilot reply.

At SeatPlan, we aggregate deals across the top UK ticketing suppliers to ensure the best possible price based on availability, and we can see that your booking was fulfilled by our ticketing supplier Encore Tickets. It is Encore who sends out these e-tickets, and again we’re very sorry these haven't yet arrived. You can request the e-tickets be resent to you by speaking with Encore using their dedicated SeatPlan support chat, either using the link in your confirmation email, or by copying and pasting the following link into your browser - https://book.seatplan.com/support.

We appreciate that it can be stressful if your tickets do not arrive, and again, our apologies for any distress caused. As a small team, we offer online only customer service and do not have a telephone number. We would like to reassure you that your booking is secure, and that both ourselves at SeatPlan and the ticketing partner who fulfilled your booking, Encore, are reputable ticketing retailers, with STAR verification. You can find out more information about what this means here: https://www.star.org.uk/about/

We hope Encore are able to get these e-tickets reissued quickly for you, and please don't hesitate to contact us at help@seatplan.com should you require any further assistance getting these.

Kind Regards,
Team SeatPlan

It was my first time purchasing tickets…

It was my first time purchasing tickets for a show with SeatPlan. It was really good priced tickets for a musical and we had fantastic seats. Myself and my daughter loved the show and it was so easy to purchase through SeatPlan.

You select your seats for your show

You select your seats for your show, and people that have been to that theatre take a picture of the view from there seats they have purchased which makes it great to see the view you will have before purchasing the tickets a great idea for all theatres.
