First off, this sight is not a ticket seller; they are ticket resellers. If you buy tickets from them, you are paying double or more for that event entry. The tickets maybe genuine but you still were scammed. More than likely you bought a ticket through one of their sub outlets, and there are several of them doing the same thing. Think of it like paying someone to go buy groceries for you and then find out that their service charge is so high that you payed double for every item on your list. One red flag when buying the tickets online is not being able to print the tickes from home. ( you should always have that option ) the seller would say that they have to send it to you in the mail; THIS IS A LIE, because the seller would have to copy the original ticket they already have and send it to you in an email for you to print, and that is highly illegal. Also… Even if they did send you the link to print your ticket, you would get to see the original price which is what they don’t want you to see; but still they could not cover all the charges to your bank account and then you would realize you’ve been had. So far this looks to be more like deception than fraud and will probably be aloud to go on till they *** off the wrong people. This has been and always will be a buyers beware market. People such as these *** abuse the laws with loop holes stating that all of their policy's were clearly stated in their terms and conditions agreement. REALLY?? how many of us read the 15-20 or more of fine print to find out what is really taking place. after all, we are just buying simple entertainment tickets right? Well not so simple with anything anymore. We have to protect our money in a bank??? Our identity info and our personal possessions. It just ads an insult to finding out that we gave our money away and there is nothing we can do to get it back. We, as consumers have got to be smarter especially when making a purchase via the internet. It's hard to know who to be angry at the most here. The dirt bag who convinced him or herself that they are providing morally legitimate service, the employees who know what they do is wrong, but do it anyway just for the sake of having a job, or the laws that protect these parasites and only seems to step in when the capital hits the right amount. PROTECT YOURSELF and research every investment, no matter how small. Bank loans, job interviews and even some dating services will do a background check on you; so why wouldn't you do a background check on a website you have never done business with before? You can even find ratings for your local car dealership and small businesses online. The traps are set everywhere, and hopefully this will help others not walk straight into one. Always, always always GOTO or call the box office when possible. If not an option, call Ticketmaster, still better than these scammers. Let me give you an example....this is all made up to give you an idea how not to get overcharge for an event or special family outing….. Say you want to see a band called (no comment) and you find out they are playing at the rock me theater in the foo man choo arts center. 1. Do not srearch tickets randomly 2. Do not search for venue/theater, it is to easy to get misdirected. There are sights made up to make you think that you are on the theater webpage but it is a discise.unless you are 100 percent sure. 3. the best way would be to goto the foo man choo arts center websight. That will give you the corect ticketing information, box office phone numbers and possibly direct web ticket purchase. WHY THE ART CENTER??? Because they are the incorporated side to the entire arts program. They have the money and attorneys that would tare the balls off anyone who would dare infringe on their copyright. Its time for the scammers to get a real job or start panhandling.
they tried to charge it twice because you provided the wrong billing address. they sell thousands and thousands of tickets and i assume they check their messages like any other company....what i hate is people who think companies only provide them services...you had a bad experience because you didnt provide correct information. plain and simple
No, I did not provide them with the wrong address. I provided them with the correct address and it would not accept it.
Then I tried my mailing address and it did. This is not the key issue. The problem is their lack of having customer service. When I tried to contact these people, they were not reachable.
If you READ what I wrote, you'd see that I could not reach them directly. I had to call their Ticket Network and THIS is the basis of my complaint. Had I been able to reach them, there would be no issue. If you sell something to the public, you need to have a valid phone and/or email so that customers can reach you.
It's that simple.
You must work for the company...because the person that eventually did call me back called from an Arizona number.
You said you hate people who think companies only provide them with services? Huh? Not even sure what that means. Companies who sell products do provide services.
Do you know what I don't like (I won't use the word "hate")? I don't like it when people make comments about something without fully understanding what they have read.
Hi, Ticket Network is actually the mastermind company behind all these ticket scams. Ticket Network owns a bunch of "ticket aggregator" companies as you termed them, like Seat Geek and dozens of others.
People purchase tickets from those "ticket aggregator" websites, then Ticket Network sends the orders to "ticket sellers" like Song Entertainment/Song Ticketing, and *then* the seller purchases the actual tickets, from the venue, Ticketmaster, or sometimes even Stub Hub. Then, Ticket Network can blame any issues with the tickets (such as the event actually being sold out and their not having removed the listing from the ticket aggregator website) on the seller, when in actuality everyone is equal bit scammer everywhere on the chain. Don't trust "Seat Geek" even though it has the best layout of any of Ticket Network's sites. Only trust a direct link to purchase tickets from the venue's website (or in a dire situation, perhaps Stub Hub -- but any seemingly unreal low price is probably a scam/listing error).
If you are unsure of whether you are at the venue's actual website (Ticket Network will often buy convincing-enough domains for popular events, to trick people into thinking they're buying straight from the venue), then call the box office. It's worth it to save you upwards of $50/ticket.
