Too difficult to navigate on an iPad

Too difficult to navigate on an iPad, can’t save the tickets to my wallet. Absolutely painful but the only place I can get the tickets I need 👎

Stop Spamming

I already left Ticketek a 1* review after an appalling experience buying a ticket from them, where pretty much everything they could do wrong, they did do wrong.

Over 18 months later, Ticketek still spam me with their email newsletter I never signed up for and despite me unsubscribing multiple times.

Hi AH,

Thank you for your feedback, and we are sorry to hear this issue has continued.

We understand how frustrating it is to keep receiving emails after unsubscribing, particularly following a poor experience. This is not something we want for any customer.

We encourage you to contact us directly with the affected email address so this can be investigated and resolved.

Can't print tickets at home. Forced to use poor App

Being forced to have a smart phone for e-tickets rather than having the option to print them at home is a reason never to go to a Ticketek event ever again. Customers should be able to choose! What if I don't have a smart phone?

Hi Dave,

Thank you for your review.

We completely understand that not everyone has access to or wants to use a smartphone, and we appreciate your point about having a choice.

Ticket delivery methods are set in line with event and venue requirements, and in some cases tickets are issued digitally only.

That said, we recognise this does not suit everyone, and your feedback has been shared with the relevant team for consideration.

Thank you for taking the time to raise this and appreciate hearing different perspectives as we continue to work to improve our customer experience.

Best,

I paid extra for refundable tickets and not refunded

I paid extra for refundable tickets . Refused to accept form because I did not have a doctor's certificate for diarrhea and vomiting on the day, which could have been contagious and I was the car driver for the family. Will not do this again. Pointless paying extra.

Hi Jacqueline,

Thank you for your feedback.

We understand how upsetting it is to feel unwell and then find your refund claim cannot proceed without specific documentation. Refund protection is provided by a third-party partner and claims are assessed strictly against their terms, which can feel restrictive in situations like this. Your feedback is important and will be shared with the relevant team for review.

We are sorry this experience has left you disappointed and appreciate you taking the time to let us know.

Awful company, everything is on-line…

Don't ever buy insurance through this company on your tickets, we are having a nightmare with them, took out insurance for westonbert lights at Xmas unfortunately my grandson had become ill with a visit to the e.r, emailed them if we could chance the dates but no we had to go through the refund route so bought more tickets on a separate date hoping then to get a refund, went to venue was lovely, then started the refund, want e.r report on grandson, want my relationship with said grandson on paper so sent off daughters birth certificate and grandson but (it gets better) my surname is different now than what it was when my daughter was born as I remarried, now I have to send them my marriage certificate to prove my name change,
Think next they will want the blood of my first grandchild,
Or a sacrificed lamb or something, you seriously can't make this sh*thole up!

Hi Debra,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, and we are very sorry to hear how frustrating and upsetting this process has been for you.

We completely understand how difficult it must feel to provide extensive documentation during what was already a stressful time involving your grandson’s illness. Refund protection is administered by a third-party provider, and their claims process does require specific evidence to validate eligibility, which we appreciate can feel excessive and exhausting in situations like this.

Your feedback is important, and we will ensure your comments about the claims experience are shared with the relevant teams.

We are glad to hear you were able to enjoy the event itself, but we are genuinely sorry that the refund process caused so much distress.

Easy enough to buy tickets but then…

Easy enough to buy tickets but then realised my seat wasn’t ideally positioned. I tried every way I could find to change my seat but couldn’t find anywhere to do it. Gave up and decided to cancel ticket as it was inferred early in the process that this was possible - ticket is for March 2027 - only to find on the app a list of qualifying reasons for cancellation… and I didn’t qualify. I’m now stuck with a ticket for 14 months time in a seat which isn’t going to be ideal. I will still go, I’m an OAP and had to dig deep for the ticket in the first place. I found the whole experience quite off putting.

Hi Beverley,

Thank you for your reply.

We are sorry to hear the seat selection and cancellation process left you feeling stuck and disappointed, especially after investing in a ticket so far in advance.

We completely understand how off-putting that can feel, particularly when options are not easy to find or do not work as expected. Refund protection and qualifying claim decisions are managed by a third-party partner, which can sometimes feel restrictive from a customer perspective.

Your feedback has been passed to the relevant team for review. We genuinely appreciate you taking the time to highlight this and hope you enjoy the event when March arrives.

Christmas light trail in Edinburgh…

Christmas light trail in Edinburgh cancelled twice. The first time I had to contact the venue directly to rearrange as ticketek did not make it possible to do it via the app and contacting them via the option in the app resulted in an email from Singapore ticketek saying it wasn't their issue.

Venue got me a new ticket. Second ticket was cancelled on 10 December which I returned on ticketek app the same day for a refund and have not received any refund as of 8 January, just an email stating they have a high volume of requests and will answer soon, that was 6 days ago. They still have my money.

Enjoyable light trail

Good value for Christmas Light trail at Wimpole Hall. Probably the best we have been to so far. Drinks etc on site were expensive, but optional.

Automated help service /website probs

Had to use automated help service because website would not work -didn’t show all ticket options.
Did take several emails to get matter sorted but got there in the end-would have been quicker and more pleasant if I could have spoken to a real person.
Also ended up paying for parking £10 as booking made within 24 hrs of event and NatTrust membership option not available because of delay in getting onto website.

I booked an event online and unfortunately I made a mistake.
I booked 4 tickets instead of 2.
I contacted the customer support of Ticketek Uk, and they immediately sent me a refund. I am more than satisfied with their service and the quality of their help.
