The sound quality was unbearably poor…

The sound quality was unbearably poor and we had to move seats. The VIP event afterwards where we paid over $300 per person was poorly organised and the possibility of having books signed by the author was not available even though this was a selling point for the event.

WORST ticket platform I have ever used

WORST ticket platform I have ever had to use. App did not deduct Qantas points after choosing to pay with them, just kept looping endlessly. Declined every card I had despite having funds available, then when I paid with PayPal I just got logged out with no ticket issued but money still withdrawn from card.

Supportive customer service

We had booked 5 tickets to Melb International Jazz Festival opening night to celebrate a milestone birthday and the birthday girl then had a bereavement and needed to travel interstate. We were very grateful that Ticketek and the event organisers provided a refund. This made a very difficult time a little less challenging and was greatly appreciated.

Tickets used by someone else, Ticketek refused to refund

I bought two tickets to Olivia Dean at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre on 13 October 2026 for $507. Ticketek required them to be "In App Ticket Only", which it says is for security and to prevent fraud.

When I arrived, both tickets showed as already scanned. Ticketek later confirmed they were scanned two hours before I got there. I had not entered the venue, and the venue gave me a Denied Entry letter. Box office staff offered to sell me new tickets for $400.

Ticketek then confirmed the barcodes were static and that venue scanners accept screenshots, so anyone with a copy of the barcode could get in. My account has two-factor authentication, nothing was transferred, and their own audit found no unauthorised login.

Despite this, Ticketek refused a refund and suggested my account might have been compromised, without any evidence. There is no customer service phone line, and it took two weeks of emails to get a final no.

I paid $507 and didn't get in. Ticketek kept the money. The matter is now with the Office of Fair Trading.

My previous booking didn't go through, but I bought two more today.

I thought I had previously booked tickets for Star Wars but somehow failed to complete the process. I sent a message asking when the print-at-home tickets would be sent to me and received a reply from Victoria today saying she wasn't able to find my booking. There were still some tickets available, and I was able to buy two more tickets (not in as good a position as the ones I thought I had booked previously.) I was very impressed with her prompt reply that enabled me to buy two more tickets. The fact that she was working on a Sunday afternoon surprised me, but I am very grateful that she was.

Customer care (Victoria) - Amazing!

Customer care (Victoria) was
amazing! I sent an,email as I made a mistake and did a double order when I purchased tickets as my phone froze
at the end of the transaction. I ended up double purchasing the same tickets for an event next year. I didn't expect to get the error refunded as it was my problem that it froze. However they were super understanding and refunded the error.

Thank you for being so understanding, and we can't wait to attend the event next year! Amazing customer service! thank you so much!

Wonderful customer service!

Wonderful customer service!

I accidentally purchased tickets using an old, inaccessible email address, with the show scheduled for the following day.

I contacted Ticketek hoping for help, and was genuinely impressed by how quickly everything was resolved!

Monisah guided me through the verification process, and Ella Mae updated my account within just a few hours.

Both were incredibly helpful, professional and efficient.

It's easy to leave reviews when things go wrong, but great service deserves recognition too!

Thank you, ladies, for saving our plans! ❤️

Hi, Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a wonderful review! Losing access to the email address tied to an event happening the next day can be stressful, so we are thrilled that Monisah and Ella Mae could assist you through verification and update your details so swiftly. Your kind words and recognition mean a great deal, and we will be sure to share this lovely feedback directly with Monisah, Ella Mae, and their team leaders. Have an amazing time at your show!

Too salty!!!!

I really enjoyed the Tame Impala concert. I found the seats comfortable and easy to see the stage from our seats.
My group and I bought some food from inside the venue before the show and found everything to be extremely salty! It was near impossible to palete. $15 for hot chips I would expect them to be edible! We had to throw them away as they were way too salty for anybody. This wasn’t a matter of personal preference. Please create a standard for how food is sold so that the consumer receives a fair product and minimise food waste, especially for the high price.

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us.

We are delighted to hear that you had a wonderful time seeing Tame Impala and that your seating provided a comfortable, clear view of the stage.

However, we are very sorry to hear about your disappointing experience with the food purchased inside the venue. Please note that food and beverage concessions, catering standards, and pricing are managed directly by venue operations and their appointed hospitality partners, rather than Ticketek.

We encourage you to contact the venue management directly with details of the outlet or concession stand you visited so their catering team can address the food quality and standards with their kitchen staff.

Bought (refundable) tickets to an event but refundable means something different to Ticketek!

Bought (refundable) tickets to an event that we are unable to attend due to University Exam commitments that we were not aware of at the time of booking. Refund has been rejected and we are not eligible to sell them on Ticketek Marketplace. Not happy.

Hi Amanda, we are sorry to hear about your frustration regarding your refund request and the inability to list your tickets on Ticketek Marketplace.

Refund eligibility for refundable ticket option is governed by specific terms and conditions set by Protect Group, which often require unforeseen circumstances such as illness, injury, or severe travel disruption. Similarly, listing restrictions on Ticketek Marketplace are set directly by the event promoter or venue, which may restrict official resale for certain events or ticket categories.

If you believe your claim falls under the terms of the refund protection policy you purchased please follow up with Protect Group, or if you would like us to review the specific resale conditions for your order, please submit an enquiry through our Help Centre at https://help.ticketek.com.au/hc/en-us/requests/new with your order number so our team can check the details of your booking.
