Verified Reviewer |Day light scammers misleading illegal scalping behaviour!
- - Paid $272 premium for a one-day Magic Round ticket; cannot attend due to illness.
- - Viagogo charges more than Ticketek and blocks resale.
I booked a ticket to magic round back in jan this year and paid a premium price of $272 for one day. I have been off of work for a month from a serious bacterial infection and now cant attend i am looking at losing flights from cairns and accomodation already so wanted to try and sell my ticket.
Viagogo already charged me more than ticketek being a 3rd party company and wont let me sell it elsewhere because they are non transferable ive tried for 1 week to sell on their website but they wont activate my listing because they said i have to transfer it from ticketek but i didnt purchase from ticketek and i dont have an account to sign in to do such a thing.
They have trapped me so now they are encouraging me to also sell it for almost half to be competitive with other seats which tells me they over charged me in the first place and then they are double dipping and going to take another fee once i have resold it through their platform which is the only option i dont care what their policy states this is an absolute scam and illegal im going to report them for being misleading and scalping me which they advise against to me but its ok for viagogo to do it is it??? Never go through this company they are day light scammers!!!
- Scam artists
User's recommendation: Never use this company just purchase through the original ticket merchant

Verified Reviewer |Dear Viagogo.com, I am writing to you...
- - Booking ref 64038****; 2 Yungblud tickets, only 1 issued (site error) on 2026-04-11.
- - Request full refund and data on the issue.
Dear viagogo.com,
I am writing to you to both complain and request data you hold about me related to an issue about: ticket resales
The booking reference was: 64038****
The issue that I have experienced was: I went on the website to order 2 Yungblud tickets, where it automatically says 2 tickets, so I clicked on the 2 tickets and paid for the pair. Once the transaction went through it said only one, then I went on the site to see if I could get another one next to it as it's for my daughter; there was no other single one. I then contacted Viagogo for them to say they will be back in touch, which never happened. It was obviously a clear error on their site
The affect on me was: very stressed as it's taken phone calls and numerous messages to speak. I'm money down now for a ticket that won't be used
The problem occurred on: 2026-04-11
I would like you to: a full refund
I would also remind you that I would like you to provide me with data related to this issue including related communications and transactions between myself and your company.
I look forward to your prompt response on this matter. I would like to keep a complete record of my case, so please reply to this email address.
Yours faithfully,
Aiden Reid 64038****

Verified ReviewerPurchased parking pass
- - No reply or refund for the non-resellable parking pass.
- - I emailed the rep who said I would get a refund.
I have not heard anything back or have I been reimbursed. I purchased a parking pass that is not allowed to be resold - I sent the email communication to the rep that took my call.
They advised I would get. The pass is useless to me and I requested I be refunded.
I've attached again the email communication. Please advise.

Verified Reviewer |Relisted tickets
- - Relisted tickets for 7/05/2026 under Viagogo policy.
- - Transaction cancelled; no refund and possible extra charges; I plan to use Ticketek.
I relisted tickets with Viagogo for the 7/05/2026, which I sold. Their policy is you relist the tickets, and they do the rest.
I received an email from them to email the buyer the tickets, which I did and have proof of. Then they sent me another email to say the buyer hadn't received them, so I sent them again suggesting he check his junk mail. I attempted to contact them by phone; however, they don't have a phone number. I attempted to email to get assistance, but the email did not receive emails.
The next email I received stated that the transaction had been cancelled and I would not be getting a refund and may even have to pay extra. This company cannot be trusted; I will only go through Ticketek in the future.
- Fail to follow their own policies
- Lack of communication
User's recommendation: DO NOT purchase tickets through viagogo, the tickets are more expensive also.

Verified Reviewer |This company is a scam
- - Relisted Jimmy Carr tickets for 7/05/2026 were emailed to buyer who denies receipt.
- - We had 8/05/2026 tickets; show sold out; seats sold to others.
First off, I was ripped off for 2 relisted tickets for Jimmy Carr's show on the 7/05/2026, which were sold and emailed to the buyer, which they deny even though I have proof. We had tickets for the 8/05/2026 and 2 relisted tickets also, and the show was a complete sellout; therefore, the tickets must have been sold and although we got in, our seats had been sold to someone else, so we didn't have seats. This company is a scam and I need my money back.
- Everything so far

Verified Reviewer |“Viagogo sold me invalid tickets for Napoli vs Milan”
- - Tickets Napoli vs Milan issued under a different name and unusable.
- - Viagogo refused a fix and told me to wait to activate the guarantee.
I had a terrible experience with viagogo and strongly warn others to avoid this platform.
I purchased tickets for Napoli vs Milan (Order 63860****), and the tickets I received were issued under a completely different name. viagogo themselves confirmed that the tickets could NOT be personalized again, which makes them unusable for entry in Italy where ID checks are required.
Despite this, viagogo refused to provide a solution before the event.
Instead, they insisted I wait until the event time to activate the guarantee, which is completely meaningless because by then the match has already started.
I spent over an hour on the phone with their support, where it was confirmed the tickets are invalid. I was then put on hold for more than 20 minutes to speak to a manager who never even joined the call.
Their customer service is extremely poor, inconsistent, and clearly designed to delay resolution.
They admitted the problem but refused to fix it in time.
This is NOT buyer protection. This is leaving customers without tickets and without a real solution.
I am now forced to proceed with a chargeback and escalate further.
Avoid viagogo if you value your money and want certainty when buying tickets.
- Cheap customer service
Preferred solution: Full refund
User's recommendation: never buy from them

Verified ReviewerScam company
- - Payouts frozen on Viagogo since July 5, 2025; over 114k withheld.
- - No clear explanation for suspension; orders completed and tickets delivered.
Since July 5, 2025, my payouts on Viagogo have been completely frozen. The total withheld amount exceeds 114,000.
All orders were completed successfully, tickets were delivered, and events took place. However, I have not received any clear explanation for the suspension of payments.
Customer support only provides generic responses and does not address the main issue. I am fully willing to provide any required documents and comply with all procedures, but the lack of transparency and communication is extremely concerning.

Verified Reviewer |Ticket charge issue
- - Overcharged on ticket prices; resellers take a large share.
- - Tickets weren't sent and refunds required arguing for a long time.
they overcharge so much on ticket prices. especially when reselling they take such a big portion.
I bought tickets, and they never sent it and i had to argue with them so much just to get a refund back. not only that, they cut money from my account because i couldnt supply my tickets to a buyer cus i listed the tickets back but how could i send the tickets if i never got them in the first place??
Ive been trying to get that refund back but they have been going left and right and just wasting my time. both numbers given to me by an agent also was unreachable.

Verified Reviewer |Order #63647**** - failure to receive a ticket
- - Ticket was not delivered; there was no show ticket.
- - I bought a ticket, someone else sat in my seat, and I want the refund you guarantee.
Never deal with Viagogo
I spoke with the Ticketech representative at the venue and was informed that the ticket had been sold to someone else. You guarantee a refund if the ticket is not delivered. I keep being informed that it was accessible through a URL - it wasn't, as I tried several times while on the phone to your agent in the UK. I would like the refund that you guarantee.
I'm about to inform the ACCC and ScamWatch of my most disappointing dealings with you. I thought that I should inform you before I post details of my experience with your company on the Australian Defence Force Noticeboard (75,000 members) and the Returned Services League Public Noticeboard (100,000+ members) and give you the opportunity to match your guarantee.
- Cant think of any

Translation- I did not research, read or ask myself “what if” before deciding to make my purchase. You scammed yourself.
