  I bought a ticket to a speed dating event hosted by DateFaster. The event was cancelled the day of and I was not issued a refund. I attempted to reach out to the event organizer and did not recieve a response. So I checked Eventbrite for details on refunds. Their policy is clear and unambiguous, when an event is cancelled, the organizer MUST issue a refund. In the event that the organizer doesn't issue a refund, Eventbrite can use funds from the organizer's account to pay the refunds on their behalf. Every contact with Eventbrite has led to the suggestion for me to do one of the following:Contact the event organizer: I have three times, they are not responding Fill out the online refund form: I have twice, it got rejected once and ignored the second time Email support: I have twice, they have told me to contact the organizer, and fill out the ******* make matters worse, there is a complaint from 6/26 on BBB by someone who got scammed in the exact same way from the exact same organizer. Eventbrite responded to the complaint by repeating the same suggestions that I included above. Therefore, Eventbrite is continuing to host known scam event planners without taking any action to stop it. Since Eventbrite keeps a commission and profit from these sales, this can only be described as an entirely scam filled malicious business practice.

  I am rejecting this response because:  As stated in my original complaint, I already followed the steps on the refund page twice and have not recieved a refund.  This is not a satisfactory way of resolving the problem.  This response also does nothing to address the issue of Eventbrite knowingly hosting a scam event planner on their website after recieving complaints, evidence of the scam, and failing to refund customers in the past.  The offending host is still hosting events on Eventbrite and therefore Eventbrite continues to knowingly profit from these scams.

  Complaint: 23612411
  
  I am rejecting this response because:  As mentioned in my original complaint, the only responses Eventbrite is capable of offering are to contact the event organizer and fill out the refund request form.  Also as mentioned the event organizer has failed to respond to any of my several attempts to reach out to them and the refund request for was denied by Eventbrite when I originally filled it out.  Eventbrite continues to copy/paste the same canned responses that I recieved several times prior to filing this original complaint.  Therefore it is obvious that this resolution is not sufficient.

  As an update, since my initial complaine, I have recieved a refund sent through Eventbrite.  Whether this refund was initiated by the original event host or Eventbrite itself has not been made clear to me.  It is unclear if a refund would have been given had I not went through my credit card to reverse the charges or spoke frequently and in depth with the Eventbrite support team (often being told the same two pieces of advice above over and over).

  While I have personally been made whole again after this situation, I must note that the offending event host ************** still has several events listed on Eventbrite's website.  I called the bar where my event was supposed to take place and they told me that they were never made aware of the event.  While I recieved an email in advance notifying that the event was cancelled, several other ticket buyers went to the bar and everyone was confused as no Speed Dating event was ever scheduled for that bar.

  In the end, I cannot feel comfortable with Eventbrite's resolution here.  My experience combined with other complaints online (on BBB and Reddit) from people who bought tickets to these events demonstrates a clear lack of oversight and conflict resolution from the Eventbrite team.  Eventbrite has failed to even address the issues with DateFaster in my previous complaints, ignoring those in favor of repeating the same 2 lines about how to get a refund.  The only resolution that will make me and others feel safe using your site again is to remove offending hosts like this and to stand by customers who are the victims of scams.

  Sincerely,

  I purchased tickets back in March of this year. I needed to cancel due to a family emergency. I submitted a request for a refund on July 4. I received a message stating I was eligible for a refund and would be contacted within five days. I didn’t get a response so I emailed the organizer via social media.. I responded to the numerous emails they sent out regarding the event… and I inboxed event brite via their social media. They kept asking me to contact the organizer and if got no response do a trouble ticket for IT via event brite site. Still no response. I didn’t attend the festival and I need my money back. They are giving me the run around. There are numerous customer complaints on social media about the same issue. I am tired of getting the running around about my refund. I need my money immediately . My original ticket order number was ***********. And my refund request number is ********. The festival was today still no response

  I am rejecting this response because: these are all the same steps they told me to follow before. It has been done and there was no follow up. Screenshots were attached of me contacting them outside of event brite. I shouldn’t have to keep trying to hunt down the organizer when event Brite is the front man for jd promotions….. I bought my tickets thru your site so you are responsible to return my money. The tickets were never downloaded for attending and i request this refund within the appropriate time frame. A request number was provided thru your company so it should be given

  I am rejecting this response because: per your site it says I was within the mandated time frame For a refund. That is why I was allowed to set up the request. Per the site when I logged on it said I had a week to request a full refund. Per my request it was set up on July 4.  I don’t know why you keep referring to postponing or canceled shows. I did not attend period…….. I requested my money back because I knew I could not attend and was permitted per your site. U can keep saying it’s up to the organizer but again you are representing them by allowing them to use your platform. So you are also responsible if I am not successful in speaking with your client.

  These screenshots support my claim. They keep referring to the organizer refund policy when it says here I can request a refund up to seven days before the event. The even was July 12. I submitted my refund request on July 4. Which is 8 days before the event

  I have not received payment for ticket sales from my event. I hosted an event in April of this year, this is my third year using Eventbrite for our event. Payment was mailed but never received. I attempted to contact eventbrite on to be forced into their AI help chat. The chat bot stated that if the check would expire in 90 days. There is no option to report the check lost/stolen. No one to contact to see if it was cashed. Had to wait *********************************************************************************************************************** the place chat stated it should be, but the help center sends me to a page that is deactivated.

  I am rejecting this response because I have already exhausted the limited online help options and none provide me with a way to request a reissue of payment. 
  

  the complaint clearly states that the available online options were already explored and the business responded with a link to the same resources. 
  

  1. The check was never received 

  2. We waited the 90 days for check to expire and the reissue option is not available. 
  3. we have vendors to pay and no way to escalate this issue. 
  4. The contact us option takes you to an AI chat. 
  5 AI chat refers you to the help center website that has broken links (screenshots attached) 

  6. Its unacceptable that no option exists to report a check lost or stolen. Eventbrite makes the client wait 90 days for a check to expire leaving them vulnerable to fraud. 
  
  I need the payment reissued.

  I am rejecting this response because this business did not offer any solution other than directing me to their support page for a second time.

  In my original complaint and my response I clearly explain that the support page process is broken.  That is the entire reason I have had to resort to filing this complaint. 
  

  it seems these responses from the business are AI or Bot generated and no one is actually reading what I wrote.

  Tickets purchased were not as advertised. Tickets purchased were VIP Entry tickets on the 4th of july at ************** in ********. All you can eat food buffet for "vip" was empty 1 hour after event started and there was no VIP Entry to any part of this event. Not the line to get inside the event or the food/drink. Why did I pay double for the same service the person in front of me got? VIP entry was the 1st 2 words explaining what you got after the ticket price and the only reason upgraded purchase was made. Already denied refund when I asked for the difference of "VIP" Tickets from regular ticket since I would have enjoyed myself and had the same experience with the standard ticket. Did not get what was advertised for twice the money. Stayed an extra night in *** for this event and felt like it was misrepresented on many levels.

  I've been in contact with Eventbrite for well over 2 months. Their website keeps telling me I'm an attendee and not an organizer, because I don't have any current events as my event has passed and closed. They sent a payout to the wrong address via check. The financial institution did not have that address. They sent out a check regardless because on their end it keeps saying there's no financial institution added even though there is a *** bank account with three different accounts attached to it in lieu of receiving these event freight funds for our 25th class reunion. It is $1,089 that I am waiting for! I keep getting the it must be frustrating. I know blah blah blah blah. I don't wan1089.00t the blanket statements. I don't care about their website and issues. It is not my problem that their website is not functioning the way it should! I am not going to wait around for their website to start working for me the way it should because their system isn't functioning. I have been in contact with support 20+ times ,I even opened a specific account within ein, just four these funds. Just to have them sent the wrong address, not the listed financial institution. I don't see what the holdup is. Trying to reissue a new check as their website and app for the organizers will not allow me to do anything as it has been considered a final payment and to the system it is done. It does not give me any other options to go into the financial institution portion and have different options! I have done this so many times that I feel I know their website better than them. I would like a check reissued to the correct address immediately. The communication is useless as the person above stated delay tactics. I find they are correct. Send a new check ASAP Payout ID ********* Event ID ***********

  I am rejecting this response because:

  Clearly still stalling and disregarding everything I am stating and all the receipts I have brought. I have done everything requested of me and yet still haven't had no resolution and would upload even more screenshots of our conversations that have been going on for way too long. As soon as they realized it was sent to the wrong address, it should have been canceled and reissued.

  As I was assured and you can see ******** promised she would be on it and resolute it within 3 days! That was well over a week ago! I believe that people are copying and pasting responses and not actually doing customer care when there is no other valid way to contact them for help. As you can clearly see, everything is updated on my end and yet they still use the same excuses. So therefore, I don't believe this company is actually using people that are reading and responding and doing their actual jobs. It is probably more of an automated system where somebody clicks a response when they get an inbox message . 

   The app & website, will actually Not allow you to go through the help center, actively trying to cherry pick who is allowed to get help, if in the past you've already placed a request and we're trying to get a response for additional help.  The way they handle consumers using their service Lacks transparency and actively stalls People that need help. They have continued to respond in the same ***** manner without any resolution in sight!

  Bought a ticket for a speed dating event and turns out there was no address, no contact name, number or email. Gave gps coordinates instead which was in the middle of an intersection. Got there early and even checked out nearby bars since they mentioned a free drink *********** one to contact. Looked online to see if this has happened to others and according to Reddit this happened to a lot of people. They took snapshots of the same events and images that I had used. This host is called DateFaster and even their website is phoney. I reported them to Eventbrite and all I heard from them that they received the report I filed. It's been about a month now and still no refund. Today I tried submitting another refund request but now they removed my order number so there's no way to contact them. To make matters worst they still have the scammer DateFaster events on their site. Please look into this matter so others will not fall for this trap and Eventbrite needs to take accountability for working with scammers. Thank you for your time

  Thank you for reaching out.

  We are a self-service ticketing platform that event organizers use to set up and sell tickets for their events. Event organizers manage all aspects of their event including addressing event details and refund requests.

  If you have already requested a refund from the organizer and havent heard back, please note that Eventbrite requires event organizers to approve refund requests in certain situations.

  If the event was cancelled or postponed, review the section in this article titled Refunds for postponed or cancelled events. (******************************************************************).

  If your order may qualify for a refund, follow the outlined steps. If not, we recommend that you try to contact the organizer again or visit their Organizer Profile and contact them there. 

  Additionally, many organizers have ************ that can be reached out to, or if provided, available also on their Organizer Profile.

  Order #*********** of ($49.87) purchased on Thu, Jun 12, 4:28 PM Order #*********** of ($44.52) purchased on ***, *** 8, 2:25 PM I purchased tickets to attend an event scheduled on Jun 14, 2025 beginning at 12 p.m. I received an email on June 14 at 10:04 a.m. stating the event was postponed to June 22, 2025. I sent the organizer an email stating I wouldn't be able to attend the date it was postponed because I was traveling out of town. I didn't receive a response from the organizer nor a refund. After not hearing from the organizer, I went through the process of reporting this with Eventbrite. Eventbrite sent me an email advising me to contract the organizer which I did previously and received no response. I need for someone to be accountable and provide a refund for the two tickets I purchased.

  I am rejecting this response because:

  The business nor the organizer is accepting responsibility. The event was canceled and postponed within 2 hours of the event happening and I made a request for refund and never heard anything.  I made a formal complaint with the Eventbrite and received the same message sent to the Better Business Bureau. 
  
  Sincerely,

  Although you have already reached out to the organizer but havent yet heard back, its worth mentioning again that Eventbrite requires event organizers to approve refund requests in certain situations.

  I purchased tickets on the eventbrite website on 5/2/25 for an event that was held on 6/13/25. After receiving my statement I noticed I was charged duplicate orders for the same tickets. On 5/30/25 I reached out to eventbrite and was told to contact the event holder in which I did. I received no response so I submitted a request for a refund on the eventbrite website on 6/1/25. The eventbrite website states that refund request can be made up until seven days before the event date my request was made well with that time. I have made several attempts on several different days to eventbrite as well as the event holder and as of 6/23/25, I have not received any resolutions from eventbrite nor have I received a response from the event holder. I would like a full refund as the website states Im entitled to.
