I thought I was paying $440 for two tickets for two consecutive nights of Goose on 6/30-7/1. Instead I got two tickets for 6/30 only and it was only after searching repeatedly that it became clear it was not for two nights. Also paid over $100 in service fees for two tickets. my ticketSmarter experience felt deceptive and unreasonably expensive in "convenience fees"

I purchased tickets to an Ariana Grande and got scammed

I purchased tickets to an Ariana Grande concert on 5/12. The concert was on 6/24/26. I did not receive the tickets or any update and I called to check on the status in early June and was told that they had until 6/23 to give me the tickets which was not in any description when I purchased them. On 6/22 I received an email from them offering me seats that were “compatible “ but in another section and row then the tickets that I paid $3,273 for. I declined and asked for a refund. When I called the company I was told twice, I was hung up on the first time when I asked to speak to a manager, that I had to only reply via email. They then sent me another email offering me floor seats which I then again declined and asked for a refund. I was then sent an email that said they refunded me and it could take up to 48 hours to appear. After said 48 hours I again emailed them and they then said that it is in fact 47-72 hours. After waiting once again I emailed once more and was told it could take up to 15 to show back up on my card. They will not provide proof other than I receipt printed from there computer that they have done anything at all. Nothing from their bank showing the transaction refunded, the refused when I asked for that documentation. I have now had to open a case through PayPal and will be contacting the state attorney general tomorrow about this. DO NOT USE THIS SITE, IT IS A SCAM!

Hello Mindi, Thank you for your patience while our customer support team took a closer look into this matter for you. Unfortunately, the ticket seller was unable to provide the tickets for Ariana Grande on June 24th . When occurrences like this occur, our customer support team works to find alternate tickets at a comparable value for the event or give you the option to receive a refund per our 100% guarantee. The customer support team was able to offer alternative tickets, but they were declined and as a result they issued a refund for your order as requested. The refund process could take up to seven days or more for a refund to fully process depending on your financial institutions policies. A dispute was filed on this order, which put a hold on the refund process. The dispute has now been resolved on your order and the refund process was initiated again. If you have further questions, please reach out to our customer support team directly at [email protected] or via phone at (888) 671-5676. Thank you, TicketSmarter

In today's world anything out of the norm seems skeptical. Not using ticket master seemed off, but used PayPal. So helped make my nerves less stressed.

The actual tickets never arrived

The actual tickets never arrived. I was sent a bar code for the tickets that didn't work when arriving at the baseball stadium. I had made several phone calls to Ticketsmarter prior to the game and i was assured the bar code emailed to me would work.Luckily I had enough information about the tickets and I was issued the tickets at the Blue Jays ticket booth. Very inconvenient process! Further to TicketSmarters response, I was emailed a bar code for each ticket and was advised they would work when scanned when we arrived at the stadium. Despite several scanning attempts with the assistance of Blue Jay employees, the bar codes did not allow us access. With the assistance of the Blue Jay ticket booth, we were able to retrieve the tickets.This final process had nothing to do with TicketMaster, only the incompetence of the TicketSmarter employees. I would not advise using this ticket selling service.

Hello Bill, Thank you for your feedback. We forwarded your review to our customer support team to have them look into any issues with your order. They found that the barcodes for your event were transferred to you, but it would appear there was a Ticketmaster error that was not allowing you to access the account. They then indicated they sent you a new link when you reached out to them that you would just need to pull up on your phone and have the attendant scan. We understand this process was very frustrating, but we are glad you were able to gain access and enjoy your event. For further questions about your order, please reach out to our customer support team directly at [email protected]. Thank you, TicketSmarter

I can't see where my seats are on the seating chart.

Reply from TicketSmarter2026-06-29

Hello Virginia, The ticket sellers that list their tickets for sale on the TicketSmarter marketplace are responsible for providing the seating information when selling their tickets. Some event tickets may have more seat information than others based on the venue's seating chart of the venue. For more information regarding your seating assignment, you can reach out to the customer support team by using the contact information located in your order receipt email. Thank you, TicketSmarter

Where was Steve Winwood?

John Fogerty was great. Where was Steve Winwood? All advertised as the 2 of them, then on the night of the concert, no Steve Winwood. What a rip-off. Fake advertising.

Seats were great, Service not so much.

Seats were great, ballpark was ideal--located downtown, within walking distance of hotel. Support service was highly disappointing, Emailing of tickets was troublesome, we almost were not able to enter stadium becaiuse of confusion over online ticket delivery. We had to make several phone calls with long wait times. Very frustrating.

Reply from TicketSmarter2026-07-06

Hello Phil, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the seats and that the ballpark location worked well for your visit. However, we’re very sorry to hear that the ticket delivery process caused confusion and frustration before entering the stadium. We understand how stressful it can be when ticket access is unclear, especially when you are already at or near the venue and trying to get inside on time. After reviewing the order, our records show that the tickets were transferred on June 23 at 4:06 p.m., and an email with instructions for accessing the tickets was sent at that time. That said, we understand that the process still felt troublesome and that having to make multiple phone calls with long wait times made the experience more frustrating than it should have been. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Your feedback is important, and we are sorry that the support experience did not meet expectations. For any additional questions regarding your order, please contact our support team directly at [email protected]. Thank you, TicketSmarter
