This website is selling fake tickets to events. I was trying to buy a birthday present for my stepdaughter, 2 tickets to Hadestown at the Sergestrom Center. I googled the musical, the theatre and "tickets" and this website popped up. In hindsight there were some warning signs, but at the time, I had no reason to think this was a fraudulent website, it looked official. I completed the online purchase, and it said it would email the tickets. My stepdaughter received the email and started to detect that the situation was a scam, she looked into it more and confirmed that it was. In hindsight the warning signs were that the service fees on top of the ticket prices were unreasonable and also that the website had fake numbers of available tickets, to make the buyer think that there was a rush to complete the purchase, like there was only 2 seats remaining on all the different ticket prices. I later contacted my bank to close the card I used and once the purchase is posted I can request a refund.

I googled a concert at our state fair looking to buy tickets. This sight came up and the tickets 2x the actual price plus 28$ fee “process” fee and 7$ fee for email delivery. It is a “third party” seller essentially scalping tickets. I bought the fairly priced tickets at the State Fair Wwebsite.

Refuse to refund on cancelled MLB game

I purchased opening day tickets to an MLB game for $450 as a Christmas gift. The game was canceled because opening day did not occur due to the negotiation breakdowns between MLB and the team. TicketCenter refuses to reimburse me saying they may reschedule. The team confirmed with me in writing that they refunded my specific tickets on March 11 but ticket center continues to refuse to refund me

Buyer Beware

My wife purchased 3 tickets for Swan Lake believing they were front center locations. The tickets were priced at $165.00 but at checkout we were charged $200.00 a piece. $600.00 total. When she received the tickets by email they were priced at $56.00 per ticket and the location was towards the rear of the theater. Don’t let this happen to you. Go to a reputable site to buy your tickets, double check the prices and read the fine print.

I was looking at buying some tickets for one of my favorite bands coming up in a couple of months. The event was not even close to being sold out, let alone having scalpers up and buy and sell tickets at a mark-up. The tickets on a reputable website that the band was selling through was selling them for $25 a ticket, where as tickets-center was selling them for $79 a ticket! They claim that they're resale tickets and "may" be above standard value. That's a very roundabout way of saying "I'm going to charge you extra because I'm being deceitful". After leaving the website I was given notifications from the website saying that they were having a "flash sale!" which was a sneaky way of trying to get me back to buy their extremely marked up tickets at a 40% discount. They were still being sold for about $50 a ticket. Twice as much as the reputable site was selling them for. Don't waste your money and buy through this site. Fraudulent tactics used to induce "fear of missing out" while playing on peoples emotions. Shady.

I purchased tickets for the Portland Winterhawks through this site, thinking they were the Portland Winterhawk site. They charged me $199.00 for tickets that should have cost $90.00. This is an absolute scam!

I was on the website at Artpark for tickets to see Steven Tyler. It stated that tickets were 17 dollars each and asked how many tickets I wanted so I typed in two the service fee was 6 dollars each ticket so I proceeded to do so it then asked for your information which I put in. I noticed it said pdf download so I went in to edit it as I always get will call. there was none so I figured what the heck I will just print them as I have in the past. As I scrolled down I hit the I accept and kept scrolling just under the submit button I saw that it said my card will be charged 99.50 so I hit the back button to back out and it took my money anyway and they will not refund me as they state they are only a call center and have no way to refund. But they will issue a refund if the show is cancelled. How does that work? They are a scam company. The girl on the phone told me there was on one over her and that the company is based from Chicago I asked for address she says there is none. hmmmm.

I googled the Amway center and I was directed to the Tickets-center.com . I Thought it was the Amway Center website. I was purchasing four tickets and the price that appered to be $105.00 each, thus, the total price should be $420.00. Instead, after I put all my information in the system and hit the purchase button, I received an email telling me that they had received my order and the total was $703.50 . So, they charge me $145.00 each ticket ($580.00) plus $116.00(service charge), plus $7.50(electronic download fee).They hid the service charge and the total amount, and they change the price of the tickets. They didn't show me the subtotal amount for the tickets until the sale was finalized, and by that point it would not let me cancel, I spent 3 hours on the phone trying to reach them, with no success, because the answering machine didn't let me talk to anyone.I then tried going on their live chat and they told me that they have no return policy and the alternative for me is to try to sell the tickets at the resale website.

This was a dishonest and scam ordering procedure.

wanted to order ticket on phone for NASCAR race. Ticket-Center.com came up, Ordered tickets, but when printing receipt, later, discovered wrong year applied (not what I asked for). They will not answer phone or respond to email. It's a scam.

On 12/8/16 I purchased 6 tickets to a festival from Tickets-Center.com. The site was listed first in a Google search for tickets to the festival. After purchasing the tickets, I found out they were scalpers, and discovered I had paid 3 times what the real tickets cost on the official festival site, plus an added service fee of $210.00! I went back to the site and it clearly reads at the top, "Money Back Guarantee" and the statement of tickets being non-refundable is not visible.

I immediately called the 800# to Tickets-Center.com and spoke with the manager, asking/demanding a refund. I was told the tickets are non-refundable and that this was stated on the site in "fine print." The manager said they could not help me, but offered to refund $200, which I declined as being very unfair. When I asked why the tickets were so expensive, they said I was purchasing "second party" tickets, and although I disputed this with them, they would not help me. The advertising is deceptive!

I then called my credit card company (within the hour after transaction) and the charge is now under dispute to hopefully reverse the charges. I will be surprised to get backing from the card company, and am afraid the site is going to keep ripping people off. It is engineered to rip you off but they have it covered legally. Very tricky.

Tickets-Center .com takes over the website of a business for an event to increase ticket prices that are paid to them. They overtake the actual event site as an imposter to have the consumer purchase from them. They increase the price by 200% and charge a $25 service fee. When you receive your tickets, you see the original price that they should sale for, but Tickets-Center overtakes the sale and places their price on it which is increased 200%. They will not refund you and treat you as if you knew about their scandalous practices before purchase. I say they are a scam to prey upon consumers rather than to get a life, be a hard working citizen they choose to leach off of others to profit only themselves. LOSERS and FRAUD ARTISTS!!!!

I went to purchase tickets for a Shinedown/Breaking Benjamin concert at the Mohegan Sun in Uncastelville, CT. I went directly to the venue and clicked on the Ticketmaster link. The show looked like it was selling out so I quickly chose the best seats for the amount of money I could afford and purchased them. Upon being brought to my receipt page it was not Ticketmaster, in fact it was ticket-center. The receipt claimed that I would receive an email with digital tickets and there was a phone number for customer service. I waited three days and no email. In fact I did not even get a confirmation email of my receipt. Thankfully I had taken a snapshot of it as I tend to do just in case. I called the number and they stated all sales are final etc. and that they are a third party seller which I had no intentions of buying from! There was no one to speak with, just an voicemail, which I left. A few days longer and I felt like I was being scammed. I called my bank and they stated that I had to wait for my credit card to be charged before I went through with a complaint. I waited another week and the charge was processed and a completely different number was attached to that charge on my statement. I called that number and was unable to speak to anyone, but instead got an email address. I sent and email stating that I had not gotten an email with my tickets. The response was prompt and I was told that my tickets were being re-sent. I have been checking my junk/spam folder also since purchasing the tickets. Nothing for another three days. I emailed again and got no response. I am now in process of the dispute and have had to pay for two more tickets in a completely different state because the venue is now sold out. Beware of where you are on a ticket site. This link completely made it seem like they were legitimate and part of Ticketmaster. I have since read reviews of this website and some people didn't even get tickets, or got tickets just to not be able to enter the venue.
