I bought tickets to an event and I was charged a 74% fee for the tickets. I asked for a refund and was told I could not get one. They gave me a wishy washy reason for this.

Verified Reviewer |Over charged vs what was quoted!
- - Quoted R59 per ticket for Sharks vs Stormers at Kings Park; 4 tickets.
- - Charged AED124; site shows Rands and total would be AED236, not AED124.
I am extremely annoyed with this online booking company. I was quoted R59.00 per ticket for a Sharks vs Stormers at Kings Park.
We booked 4 tickets! I was then charged AED124 (Emirates Dirhams) which came to over R500!
When I called the help centre they told me the tickets were offered in Dirhams which is completely wrong! We relooked at the website and everything is in Rands.
Even if they were offered in Dirhams, the total would have been AED236 and not the AED124 that we were charged. Stay away from this company!
User's recommendation: Rather use ticket master or another reputable company than Viagogo!

Verified Reviewer |No tickets arrived for our event!
- - No tickets arrived; entry denied; we had to buy again.
- - Viagogo charged 3x the cost and refused refunds; customers should have called on the day.
No tickets arrived. Thought we would take a chance and go with the order number and proof of payment to the event, we of course were denied entry and had to purchase again.
I might add we paid Viagogo 3 x times the actual cost.
We were sadly not the only people to have been scammed by Viagogo for this event, many many people were too having to buy again. Viagogo refused to refund us as "we should have called them on the day of the event!" Thieves.
User's recommendation: Please please do not use this Ticket Seller

Verified ReviewerBad bad bad
- - Expected R800 for 4 tickets, but it was R800 per ticket.
- - Bank charged R4203; R1200 buyer's fee not disclosed.
- - Refund offered, then denied.
I bought krone tickets on Viagogo. Or should I say via no no!!!
I thought it was R800 for 4 tickets, as on iTickets it's R200 a ticket... which it was not; it was R800 a ticket. Never mind that after paying I saw R4203 go off on my bank!!! I had to pay R1200 buyer's fee that I was not aware of because the site says nothing about a buyer's fee.
Anyways, I called them and requested a refund. They then said yes, we will give you a refund; not even 2 seconds after that, they said no, no refund. What kak is this? Even now I have paid 4k for tickets when I got the tickets, it says R395 on them.
How do you even explain this!!!
This site should be banned!!! Because, wtfffff.

I want to download my tickets
- - Tickets emailed in July; the app showed a padlock, now open.
- - Scan only captures the barcode number, not the ticket; need before Aug 19.
The email with tickets were sent in July but the code in the app had a padlock. It is now open but when I scan the code only the number on the barcode is captured, not the actual ticket.
Also everytime I go into my Viagogo account it will not let me sign in and I have to reset.
How am I supposed to downloaf the tickets now? I fly from DA to Sydney on the 19 Aug so need the tickets before that
User's recommendation: Don't use Viagogo
Unprofessional behaviour
- - Bought 2 SA vs Italy tickets online; Viagogo guaranteed delivery.
- - On game day at 14:05 no tickets; only 1 ticket later; refund pending.
I bought 2 tickets online for a rugby match in PE ( SA vs Italy), I paid and continuously communicated with Viagogo for a least 10 days prior to the match, they said my tickets were guaranteed etc etc, for some reason they said my tickets would be issued at 14h05 on the day of the game( 12th July.) I drove with my wife from St Francis to PE and after 14h05 I was informed that I had no tickets and would get my money back, This is so unprofessional and I hope this company fails, I wander how many fans have been let done in such a manner, I hope I am going to get my money back, I could only get 1 ticket after 14h05 ( as this ticket was more than the other 2 that I had already paid for)and my wife was unable to attend.
User's recommendation: Do not use Viagogo

- - The system is not helpful to resolve queries that require resolution.
- - I will follow up later; a staff member should be an option if there is no solution.
I will follow up later, I need to sell if not getting help. The system is not helpful to conclude the queries that requires resolution.
Talking to a personnel assisting should be the other option if resolution is not done. How should I go now that solution is not received
