I just bought 2 broadway tickets for…

I just bought 2 broadway tickets for April 2026.I accidentally bought them through New York Theatre Guide. Never have I ever bought tickets through this site. I also foolishly paid for the protection plan. I thought I read “for full refund” and I would lose the payment for the protection plan. We are from out of town and I was being cautious. When I realized I made a mistake, not even 30 minutes, I tried to cancel but instead and like everyone, I was offered a voucher. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? How is this legit? I didn’t want to lose my money (overcharged tickets) so I rebooked and guess what the original tickets were no longer available and suddenly new ones were available. Is this a scam? I don’t even have the tickets. Apparently, they will be emailed to me 24 hours or the day of. It doesn’t sit well with me. We are from out of town and I don’t know one company (unless not legit) who would do that. Once paid, I should have my tickets and also we should have the right to a full refund.

PS: no confusion and the situation hasn’t been resolved. I asked for a number to call but you couldn’t provide me with one. However, you only can call me. I’m forced to accept the tickets that I tried cancelling 5 minutes after purchase again thinking the protection payment was for full refund. Any organization big or small would refund or would provide a customer service nhmber. The conversation was via chat. I kept all the screenshots of the conversation with Marika.
At the very least, I hope to get my tickets asap.

Snow/Injury upset

Sadly I had to cancel my tickets due to the snow storm and an injury preventing me from travelling. My flight back to UK was cancelled due to tge storm and I was feeling upset to also miss the show. Micheal was kind and u derstanding issuing a voucher - which I have passed to my hosts as a thank you for my rehabilitation time! Really kind of you and greatly appreciated. I will book again with such a good company.

Don't buy any tickets from New York…

Do not buy any tickets from New York Theater unless you are 100% sure to show up for their shows. Spending over $20 per ticket to purchase the "Ticket Protection" does NOT cover your expenses. It covers only a year from the purchased date (not the show) to find another show: will not refund any money even you had to cancel the tickets within 6 hours. They will not refund your money, only a voucher. Period. Ticket Protection is a scam.

We’re sorry to hear about the difficulty you experienced. We can’t find any contact under the details provided, but we’d love to help resolve this and explore what options are available. Ticket Protection covers 100% of your order cost, less the protection fee, which is included at checkout. We’ve requested more information about your order, and once we receive your reference number, we’ll be able to look into this for you.
