I purchased tickets to ride a charter bus at the end of the Bay to Breakers race in ************* on 5/18/2025. After the race was over, I saw the charter buses go by empty. I spent $45 on these tickets. I contacted ShowClix and they said it was not their fault.Initial Complaint

My order number is 3F81YHG190213484. I opted to pay for my order with the payment plan. The original debit card I used when I made the order was lost and I got a new debit card that I want to use to continue making payments on the payment plan. I got an email on Monday 5/19 at 9:02PM PST saying that my payment could not be processed and to select a new payment method by clicking on a link to enter in the new payment method. I clicked the link and entered in my new debit card information. After entering in my new debit card information, I got an error message that said coupon usage limit reached. I didnt understand what that meant so I re-entered the new debit card information and got the same error message. I re-entered the new debit card information a third time and got the same message again. I re-entered the new debit card information a fourth time and this time I got an error message saying that there were not enough funds on my card. I went to my online banking and saw that I had three separate pending charges of $558.31 each that were charged to my checking account and a total of $1674.93 was withdrawn from my checking account. I called my bank immediately to notify them about the multiple charges and a claim was submitted for the two additional $558.31 charges that I did not intend to pay.The next day on Tuesday 5/20 at 10:06AM PST, I received an order confirmation email from Burning Man. I went to check my online banking and saw that a fourth pending payment of $558.31 was charged to my checking account, now making a total of $2233.24 was charged to my checking account. I called my bank to notify them of the third multiple charge and another claim was submitted for the third additional $558.31 charge.I want to make the $558.31 payment that Im due for this month for my order on the payment plan, but I need those three additional $558.31 payments totaling $1674.93 that I did not intend to pay refunded back to my checking account immediately.Business Response

Hello ******,
First, I'd like to apologize for your experience. Due to a technical error, there was an issue processing your payments. Because no payment went through initially, that resulted in a hold from your bank. Any time a purchase attempt is made, oftentimes, banks (or financial intuitions) will automatically hold the funds- even if a payment was not successfully captured. If a payment is not successful, any pending charges should be reversed within 5-7 business day. It could be sooner depending on the bank you work with. After checking your payment plan, I do show that you have made two successful payments. The multiple charges on your statement were pending and should have since been reversed. The last installment will process mid-June; the problem has been since identified, so the payment should process as previously intended.
The Event Organizer, Burning Man, sent out communication about this error on 5/22/25 detailing the error and outlined the next steps. If your payment have not reversed, please reach out to ********************************* for further support- we can have our finance department look into our payment processor and ensure that you are taken care of.
Again, I sincerely apologize for this. I really hope that you are able to enjoy the event!Initial Complaint

Hello!
Thank you for your patience while we look into this complaint. We were able to locate both orders. Upon further research, it looks like both orders have been scanned in. Due to this, we needed to follow up with the Client (RiseNY) for additional support. As the ticketing software, we have limitations on refunds and have to adhere to Client policies. Because the tickets were both scanned in on-site, we had to get the approval of the Client to refund. If this order was not scanned in, we have to ability to process a refund normally.
With the approval of the client, we are able to process that refund as previously stated. These funds were refunded on 6/4/25 and should be reflected in the customer's account within 5-7 business days.
I appreciate the patience. Please let us know if you have any additional questions or concerns.
Thank you-Customer Answer

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint. For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.In regards to the both tickets being scanned, not true!!! The adult amount for 58. 00 dollars each was scanned, not the children purchase, there 2 different amounts and follow the instructions of re-purchasing the right tickets, so to write that both tickets were scanned highly impossible!!
Regards,

I purchased two event tickets through Showclix over 22 days from the event. The event in question was the renaissance fair. Due to the time, distance and whatever else goes on in one's life - I purchased the additional cancellation insurance. As the date approached closer the weather forecast was not looking good, fog rain thundershowers. We decided not to attend, knowing I would loss the additional insurance money I did not mind, I went on to the website and was able to request a refund. The next thing I received is an email saying they do not give refunds due to poor weather. Showclix is a service, I did not have to purchase my ticket through their website to attached, I could've purchased the day OF the event at the location. Using Showcix was a choice, I used their serve for a convenance, I did not have to purchase through them, I paid the additional cancelation insurance, as a convenance, for protection, again mentioning it was a choice and not necessary to attend the event. In one email that had the audacity to ask me for proof of bad weather! Now, if I did not use Showclix, woke up that morning to hear of the 7 car pile up on the freeway due to the fog to attend an outdoor event on the rain and wind.... do you think I would've gone? ****. Using Showcilx was a convenance and not a necessity. Purchasing the addition cancellation insurance was also a convenance and not a necessity. I have requested a refund only to be told to submit proof of bad weather. Showclix should not be in business. Everyone in this world is just trying to rip everyone else off. ****************Initial Complaint

On 1/6/25 I bought tickets for the Portland ******************* I accidentally bought a ticket for my 4 yr old - its not super intuitive how to get a free ticket. I requested a refund for the extra ticket and was refused by the customer service so I need a refund for the ticket. This is BAD policy and it should be more intuitive as to how to get a ticket for children under the age of 4 yr.Initial Complaint

I purchased tickets for November 3rd 2024 to the Friends Experience ***. On November 2nd due to a family emergency I follow the link on my confirmation email to change date/time of ticket which it says you can do. I also sent an email to the Friends Experience trying all avenues. The Friends Experience said they could help me with date and time change, then proceeded to say I had been refunded and would need to repurchase. I was never credited and show clix is saying it will not issue a refund. So for 4 people to walk through a ************** I paid over 500 because I was lied to about a refund. Attached you will see the email communication.Initial Complaint

Hello, on Friday 10/4/2024 I went on the website to purchase tickets for an event here in ******* on 10/19/2024 - Hershey Adventure, I filled out everything including the extra refund protection in case one of the grandchildren got sick in which case we would have to cancel, while I was asking my daughter if that date was ok to take her and my 4 grandchildren I accidently hit purchase, she informed me that the date did not work for her, I tried to go back to cancel and the site would not let me so I contacted customer support and explained that it was a mistake and I could not use them I need to change them for another date and just use 3 instead of 6 since my other 3 grandchildren will be moved away by then, I was just informed that they will not refund the tickets even though I contacted them immediately and I had bought the additional insurance. I have been charged $266 for tickets that will never be usedInitial Complaint

I purchased a weekend kids pass for LA Comic Con from ShowClix via their early bird Pricing when this first become available. At the time, there were no other kids or teen tickets available aside from the kids weekend ********** I found there are teen passes for kids over 12 years old, which is what I needed instead so I reached out to both Comic Con and Show Clix for an exchange.Comic Con redirected me to ShowClix **************** who dvise that they cannot do swaps and instructed me purchase a teen pass and then provide them with the confirmation numbers for both and they will issue me a refund for the kids pass.I did exactly as instructed and when I provided them the confirmation numbers for both the teen and kids pass, they are telling me that all sales are final and they need approval in order to issue me the refund for the kids pass.I have been reaching out daily to Showclix with no response from them so I would like assistance from your organization to step in and help me get my refund.Thanks.Initial Complaint

On 09-01-2024 at 8:58 am MST I ordered 3 tickets totaling $1,105.04 U.S.C., from Showclix for the ****************************** Fund Raiser- Purple Experience at ************ to be held on Friday, September 27th, 2024 at 6:00m CDT. I waited on my computer for a link to view and print my tickets, to no avail. I discovered that I made a typographical error when I typed my email address and that I would never get the tickets. I reordered a new set of tickets for the event, which I do want, and do intend to pay for. I contacted my credit card company which is **************** and was told that I should reach out to the merchant for a refund of the extra tickets as the charge was in pending status, I tried to contact them immediately on 09-01-2024 by telephone to no avail. On today, 09-03-2024, I was finally able to reach Showclix by email only, even though I immediately called the company on 09-01-2024 when I discovered my mistake and left my name and contact information, but no one from the company reached out to me. I contacted **************** and they related that I had been double billed for the tickets and the charges were no longer in a pending status. I filed a dispute with them for one set of tickets for a billing adjustment and refund. I hereby would request that Showclix likewise give me a billing adjustment and refund on my credit card for the extra set of tickets in the amount of $1,105.04. I feel I am being treated harshly, unreasonably and unfairly by this company and should not have to endure such poor treatment due to a typographical error. In their email to me, they told me there was nothing they could do, which I believe is not true and totally unacceptable.Initial Complaint
