I attended a ******************* concert in ****** on August 10th 2024 and I paid for the VIP package. I can attached what the VIP package claimed to include and my experience did not include what they advertised. We did not receive any VIP merch including the laminate and candy that they advertised to enjoy at the show. It was also just poor organization overall so we did not feel VIP to say the least. The man at the door yelled at us when I was asking him which ticket he needed(the VIP or the normal) and he wouldnt answer my question and forced me to the back of the line. There was no special VIP picture area, there was a backdrop that anyone could have access to and it wasnt private and the employees were trying to get everyone to move along instead of be able to take any picture. It also clearly was not just for VIP which is what was expected. The single only thing I did get that was advertised was early access to the soundcheck. Everything else was not provided and I have reached out many times to figure out what is going on. Half the employees there agree with me and think I should get my money back but every time I get pushed up to a manager they just say no and give no other explanation. They just sent me one merch item along with the VIP laminate in the mail over 3 months later but it still is not everything they advertised. I also do not think sending a VIP laminate 3 months after the show is equal compensation at all. They made me sign a form saying if I dont get what is advertised then they will give equal compensation and now they are refusing. I feel robbed because I paid all that extra money and got very little to no benefits and the company is not willing to work with me at all. Getting items such as candy and a VIP badge 3 months after the show is not acceptable especially with very poor communication. They should be able to refund a portion of my bill due to the fact they did not provide what they said they would. I still have not seen the poster at all.Business Response

I purchased three tickets to see Usher on Feb 16 for $1,324.29. Immediately after purchasing I tried to get a refund - I was told I was unable to get a refund. The concert date was in August and during the same week of the concert - the concert was rescheduled to December (I found this out through social media). Unfortunately, between August/September and December 1. I was laid off from work - unable to fund the travel to attend the concert. 2. My mom is on oxygen and her oxygen wouldn't last long to attend the concert. 3. The person for the third ticket is not able to receive the dates off from work with the new dates to attend the concert. I am please requesting a refund for the three tickets. I was told that I had to reach out to the event organizer. This has all been very stressful and draining.Business Response

Hello,
We are in receipt of your recent complaint submitted to the Better Business Bureau. Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention.
We are sorry to hear that you missed the deadline for refunds for Usher.
Ticketmaster is contracted to sell tickets on behalf of the event organizers. Regrettably, the event organizer is no longer offering refunds for this event. There was a 30 day refund window, which ended on September 14, 2024. If you are unable to attend the event, we suggest that you post your tickets for resale or transfer them to a friend/family member.
Sincerely,

I am rejecting this response because:
LiveNation is the event organizer is over refunds. If LiveNation is not the event organizer - they should give me the company and contact details for the event organizer. The price that Ticketmaster is trying to give me money for my tickets that I paid $1300 for is $300 - for three tickets. Please do the right thing and refund me money. I would like to escalate this issue.

On September 13 I bought 2 tickets from *************** paid US$356.6. On November 7 my ticketmaster account was hacked and tickets were stolen from my account. I immediately reported my case to ticketmaster. My gmail account has a different password, two stepverification, and was not hacked. Surprisingly, ticketmaster has a very poor security system. Its system was hacked this year and several accounts werecompromised. In addition, ticketmaster does not have a two step verification system or any other type of security measure and anyone can transfer tickets without my confirmation or permission. Ticketmaster is depository of my tickets and you failed to provide the necessary security measures to keep them safe. I havesent several emails to ticketmaster and called several times and I have not obtained a response yet. This is a very poor customer service. Unacceptable.Business Response

I purchased 2 tickets to the ********** vs. ***** game on May 18, 2024 for my son's college graduation. The game was on November 10, 2024. My son and a friend flew from ************ to *****, ** for the game that Sunday morning. When they went to have their digital TicketMaster tickets scanned, it showed that a "****** *******" had claimed both tickets. TicketMaster could not help fast enough to get my son into the game, so he had to go to the box office and purchase 2 more tickets. We are now out over $600 for the new tickets and the old tickets that have not been refunded by TicketMaster yet. I have called every day since Sunday, November 10 but nobody has any answer for me other than "someone is working on it." I am a single mother and cannot afford to be out this much money for TicketMaster allowing fraud on their member's accounts and taking days and days with no communication and no refund for our STOLEN tickets. I am hoping someone can help facilitate a refund for me as soon as possible, as again today, I was told by TicketMaster customer support that, "someone is still working on it."Business Response

I have two concert tickets I purchased from ************. One for Usher and the other for ****** **********. Both of my tickets were stolen by hackers out of the TicketMaster app that is supposed to be secure. TicketMaster is not taking responsibility. They claim my account got hacked because of my email but my email has not been hacked. It has been four days and not response from TicketMaster on a resolution. Apparently, TicketMaster had a breach of customer info and they claim our log-ins were not jeapordized but it looks like they were as thousands are having this issue. I would like a refund for the Usher ticket that was purchased for me by my friend and later transferred to me. For the ticket I purchased for ****** **********, I would like the seat returned or a seat of my choice that is comparable on an aisle. ****** was originally Oct 31st but he rescheduled the St. **** show, I believe to February. If I can't choose my ticket, I want my money back.I know they can do this because I have seen people on TikTok get their original tickets back or be given comparable seats or some got worse tickets too. I dont want that... It appears that Ticketmaster has known about this issue for at least a month. They should have protected their customers by emailing an alert to change our app passwords. As a customer they are liable for this. This is very upsetting because they have a monopoly on concert ticket purchases. Clients need to know that their assets are safe. My case number is #********Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: they are the parent company of ************ and there is no BBB listing for Ticketmaster to file a complaint against them.I have attempted numerous times to escalate this situation, but I am constantly blocked by employees from the ************
In my opinion, as the parent company of ************, you are dually responsible for the security of customer assets that are being held in your app.
We have no other way to secure our tickets so the expectation is that the app is secured. Nobody has hacked my email as Ticketmaster asserts. I truly believe all of the tickets that are being stolen out of the app are due to a ***************** breach.
The company website does not provide a space where customers can escalate their concerns so this was my only course of action.
I would appreciate any support in getting this taken care of. My tickets were not cheap.

Signed up for Verified Fan for the ****** ***** concert August of 2023 for the ***** location of the show. I was waitlisted for all 3 shows but fully signed up and registered as a verified fan. On 10/17/24 the day prior to the 10/18/24 show there was a last minute drop of tickets that was stated to allow verified fans access the queue - however no codes were sent out for this and even being a verified fan I was not allowed access into the queue. Within minutes of the queue opening double digit tickets were being added on to re sale sites. The same thing happened this evening for the Indianapolis shows. How can Ticketmaster and live nation claim they out processes in place to help fans get tickets but in face they dont and they go directly to re sale sites where they can mark up the price thousands of dollars. Livenation and Ticketmaster let all the bots through consistently it never ends and never protects fans.Business Response

Hello,
I am in receipt of your recent complaint submitted to the Better Business Bureau. Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention.
Selection is not a measure of how big a fan anybody is. Sometimes there simply arent enough tickets for everyone. When demand exceeds availability, a limited number of fans get access to the Verified Fan sale, and others must be placed on the waitlist. The number of fans who receive access depends on the number of tickets currently available this is done to help create a less crowded ticket shopping experience for fans.
There are currently no more tickets available at this time. For all questions regarding the ****** ***** | The **** Tour Verified Fan sale, please refer to our blog, **************************************************************

Date of transaction: 9/26/2024 The amount paid to business: $75 What the business committed to providing: ******** my cancellation request.The nature of the dispute: The ONLY reason I am making this complaint is purely principle. The customer service team and support team have been rude and completely refused to acknowledge or help with their mistake.September 25th 8:17 pm EST I called into Front Gate support *************) to cancel the ticket since I bought the wrong one. They told me that even though I just bought it an hour ago, I still had to pay the initial fee. Fine. They said they would process my cancellation and it would take ***** hours. Ok.September 26th 1:27 pm EST I called back because I thought I could at least just sell my ticket and get recoup that initial fee. So, I called back and asked to withdraw my case. They said ok, the lay away plan will be paid as usual. Your final payment will be October 9th.October 30th I realized I wasn't charged so I called in and they said they had no recollection of me asking for that. Thankfully I called because in one week the event is happening and I would've showed up without a way to enter.Currently fighting with their staff because not only will they not refund me for that initial amount (I had to buy another ticket) they won't even acknowledge the mistake they made. I've attached both screenshots of both calls. They both lasted around the same time. Coincidentally, Front Gate support has my INITIAL call and not my 2nd call. What's even crazier is I had a support staff call me just now and say cancellation takes "5-15 minutes" and yet I have a screenshot that my cancellation happened 24 hours later. 9 hours I called the 2nd time to withdraw my cancellation.They've done nothing to help. Support refuses to acknowledge this. They just hung up and said to kick rocks. I have proof of both call time stamps and proof of the email time. It wouldn't let me submit photos to this claim.Business Response

We're sorry to hear you had issues with your layaway order and can understand your frustrations. When orders are first processed as the charges are often not settled onto your account until 24 hours later, that can often prevent agents from processing immediate cancellations of an order when it is initially purchased. Unfortunately, it looks like your request to retract your cancellation of your order was received after another agent had already pulled your order to process your previous cancellation request. As your event has already passed, I've gone ahead and waived the $75 cancellation free for the confusion and inconvenience and greatly appreciate your patience while we worked to resolve this. Please let us know if you have any further questions or concerns regarding your order. Thank you for understanding.Initial Complaint

Reviewing your information, we were able to locate an order for Rolling Loud Miami which has been purchased on layaway plan. Our records show you contacted us on 10/26/24 as you had manually processed a scheduled payment but used the incorrect payment details when voluntarily processing your payment early. As agents previously advised, we cannot reverse a completed transaction. The only solution we can offer is to cancel your entire layaway plan, which will cancel your tickets and refund all funds paid minus the $120 cancellation fee as agreed to in your layaway terms. Please let us know either by responding here or reaching out to an agent directly if you would like to cancel your layaway plan so we may assist you further.

Ive asked for call backs more than a dozen times, have mentioned I have positive info too & I am basically being ignored!
