Charged service fee twice…
There was a pop up on the website which said I had to book parking first . I did this and was charged £2.50 service fee. Couldn't buy tickets for the event at the same time as parking. Had to return to website to order event tickets . Was then charged a further £2.50 service fee.

Your app does not work. Useless piece of unnecessary complication. My husband bought 2 tickets for this event which is TONIGHT. Wanted to share 1 ticket with me. Mission impossible. Apart from me having to create an account with Ticketed, I received 224 one time codes to *authenticate* for as many attempts to find a shared ticket in my account, which was non existent. Secondly, trying to see what data is in my profile God forbid to want to change anything as this is where you are stuck. No option to go back, or "Home" none of this, not even the back page on my device would work. What a basic, good for nothing app, clearly unfinished and in need of testing for the next 1000,, years. But even then I will not trust it. Apart for taking my details, what else is this good for??

Hi Gary,
Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we’re genuinely sorry for the stress this situation has caused — especially so close to your event!
We understand how worrying it is when you’re expecting tickets and can’t find clear support options.
To reassure you, Ticketek UK is not a scam site. We’re an authorised ticketing partner for major venues and promoters across the UK. Your tickets are absolutely safe, and we will make sure they reach you.
Most tickets are delivered closer to the event date at the request of the event organisers, and we always send automated updates so customers are kept informed — but we understand this can feel unclear when you’re waiting.
We’re sorry the links didn’t work for you and that our support hours added to the frustration. If you still haven’t received your tickets, please get in touch via our help form with your name, email and booking details so we can locate your order and resend them right away.
We’ll make sure you’re able to attend your event.

Not very clear
TOP TIP: Register First as I had difficulty purchasing and could not work out what the issue was. Everytime I selected a seat I got an error message which was not helpful, advising to refresh and try again. I gave up for a short while before registering and then I was able to make the purchase. At no time was it obvious that need to register on the venue site before purchasing.

Terrible Customer Service
The whole experience of purchasing six tickets for the Belton Lights event had been a nightmare. The parking tickets I requested at point of sale were not added to my order however an insurance policy I did not request was added to my order. I have wasted a lot of time trying to sort this mess out. The outcome is a refusal to refund me for the insurance policy I did not request and, to add insult to injury, I was forced to pay an admin fee in order to be able to buy separately the parking tickets which, I believe, were not added to my original order due to some sort of glitch with the online booking system. What should be a lovely purchase for a family event has turned into a horrible experience, leaving me feeling angry and ripped off.
Further to the bland and totally useless response from Ticketet UK below, I want to emphasise that I feel totally scammed … I wonder how many other customers have had insurance policies they did not request or want added to their bills and how many other customers have been charged the admin fee twice … the customer service response has been truly awful … Ticketet do not deserve so much as a one star review from me and I will ensure I share as widely as possible my terrible customer experience with this awful company. Avoid, if you can!!

Hello Linconshire,
Thank you for your review! We’re very sorry to hear about the difficulties you experienced while booking your tickets and understand how frustrating this must have been.
Regarding the insurance, all purchases are clearly outlined at the point of sale, and unfortunately, we are unable to refund policies purchased as part of this process. We do appreciate your feedback about the booking experience and the issue with the parking tickets — we’ll be sure to pass this on to the team to help prevent similar issues in the future.
We hope that despite these challenges, you and your family enjoy the Belton Lights event.

Scammy
Scammy, sly middle man. Paid extra for refundable tickets, Mrs is 8.5 months pregnant and had a pregnancy related emergency on the day so we asked to move the booking to another date or for a refund, both refused despite choosing refundable option. I’m amazed companies like this are still allowed to operate and that they’re engaged by venues. £85 robbed from us, thanks a lot.
Further to their response, Foresty England were really helpful and did all they could to help sort the issue out, so the event organiser cannot be blamed. Ticketek website has no address and no phone number, standard practice for scam firms who expect high numbers of complaints and issues. Reading all the reviews it’s clear they trade on misleading people and being difficult to deal with so people just give up trying to get the refunds.
To discover they’re lead by Brad Banducci sums up their modus operandi.

Hi Lewis,
Thanks for your review!
We’re very sorry to hear about your situation and hope your wife is doing well.
Refundable tickets are governed by the terms and conditions set by the event promoters, and unfortunately, changes or refunds can only be issued in line with those rules.
We understand this is frustrating, and we genuinely apologise for the disappointment caused.

I had purchased the refund policy but it clearly said 100% refund . I booked wrong place on wrong day . Wen I asked for refund they said they cant ad i didnt read the tiny letters terms conditions which are hardly visible but 100% refund words u can see from miles . They should have refund policy if mistakes happen because its not that thousands of people make mistakes to get refund. Its very important to keep the customers set an example so they go and tell others wow your customer service. Best tool is understanding the customers and helping them

Ticketek Wimpole Hall Light Trail Tickets
I purchased two tickets for the light trail at Wimpole Hall. I accidentally picked the wrong Saturday on the menu drop down selection. I had purchased refundable tickets, luckily I thought. I applied for a refund and they refused! Absolutely disgusting! My choosing the wrong date does not come under their refund policy apparently even though I had bought refundable tickets! This is outrageous. They offer refundable tickets, so you pay extra for the privilege of these refundable tickets and then they refuse to refund them. They are making money out of people by charging extra to do this but then not refunding the money anyway. This is false advertising and shouldn’t be allowed. I was taking my disabled mother as a surprise so now we can’t go as I can’t afford another round of tickets.
I won’t be buying anymore tickets from them or recommending them to people I know. Steer clear.

Hi Janet,
Thanks for your review, and we're really sorry to hear about the frustration you’ve experienced — we understand how disappointing this must be, especially when planning something special for your mother.
Refund protection is handled by a third-party provider, and they have their own terms and conditions that determine what can and can’t be refunded. Date-selection errors, unfortunately, aren’t covered under their policy of a refund but you are able to exchange your tickets if you contact us 48 before your event.
We’ll make sure your comments are passed on, as clarity around refund insurance is something we’re always working to improve.

Hi Nila,
Thanks for your message!
You can add your tickets to your phone’s wallet via the Ticketek app once they’ve been issued. Simply open your ticket in the app and look for the “Add to Wallet” or “Save to Phone” option.
Regarding Neverland, unfortunately membership benefits such as British Heritage access don’t qualify for discounted or complimentary entry for this event.
We hope this helps!
