Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I bought two tickets from different users and no issues. In fact they changed them with my name the day before the event and sent me many notifications to make sure I used the most updated ones.

Inexistant support

I had an issue with the ticket and no support was available. Just an AI. Reminder that this website takes a commission for doing the bare minimum and they cant still do it right. I dont really see the point using an intermediary between you and seller if the website is not able to do anything when it doesnt work.

Stay away from these criminals

Stay away from these criminals. My event got cancelled yet I paid on this site. To get your money back you have to depend on the seller refunding. The seller gets the refund from the primary and you have to hope they are honest and refund you yet you paid on ticketscam and they have your money. They have the money because that's where you pay and sellers don't get paid till 5 days after the event. Ticketscam tell you that the primary usually Ticketmaster has your money which is a complete lie. There absolutely scammers. You get no help, they don't chase the seller up, they do nothing. They won't send your confirmations because they don't want you talking to your bank. There worse that viagogo. There's 1 ticket for an event at the warehouse 27th Dec and the face value is £60. This listing is being sold at £264. Stay away from these scumbags.

choose your seller

ability to learn details abut the sellers that helps you to decide based on your "willingness to take risks". So far all my tickets worked. One friend who once had an issue had been able fianlly to recover his money. so all good TiscketSwap, keep it up.

I bought a ticket for a concert…

I bought a ticket for a concert yesterday and then the ticket transfer didn’t work
When you try to contact them they make it so hard to get you to a bot and then that’s it!
Now way to contact them or talk to a real person to find a solution. The concert is hours from now and I find myself loosing the opportunity to go and losing my money.
I don’t even know how they get away with this!

Quick and easy

Quick, easy to use and reliable. I like the option to check the seller's history of sold tickets: it gave me reassurance that I won't have issues. And I did not have.

SCAMMERS

SCAMMERS. Do not trust these lot, they allow fake tickets to be sold on their website and do nothing to help. An AI assistant over the phone that hangs up on you after you tell it the problem you are having. I was weary before going so tried to contact to make sure everything was okay and all they did was ignore. Useless company

Extremely disappointed by TicketSwap, normally a regular user

I have used TicketSwap many times and trusted it because it promises to protect buyers from exactly this situation. This time I bought a ticket for TCS Half Maratho on 15th October, but the seller sold it to someone else as well. I never got a usable ticket.

I reported it right away at the Marathon Expo. It has now been more than 2 weeks, and TicketSwap has done nothing. I was told to open a conversation with the seller, then told the after-sales team would contact me. I have heard nothing. My messages in the chat go unanswered, and the help pages only point me back to the same process.

I am extremely disappointed. TicketSwap takes a fee and says it makes buying tickets safe, yet when something goes wrong it takes zero responsibility. No one reviews the case, no one replies, and no refund is offered.

To other buyers: if you get scammed, you are on your own. Do not rely on the “guarantee” or on support to act. Pay by a method that lets you dispute the charge with your bank, and keep screenshots of everything.

I am still waiting for a refund and a response. My case number is 328734

Hi Efe,

We're truly sorry to hear about your experience, especially as a returning TicketSwap user. We understand how disappointing it must have been to arrive at the event with a ticket that didn't work and then have to wait so long for a resolution.

We can see that you opened an Aftersales case to report the inconvenience. Our Aftersales team handles cases in the order they are received and always aims to get back to everyone as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, particularly during peak season, response times can sometimes be longer than we'd like. We sincerely apologise for the delay and for the frustration this has caused.

Please rest assured that every case is eventually reviewed and resolved. As you mentioned, our goal is to protect both buyers and sellers and ensure that each situation is handled fairly.

We've now reviewed your case, and we're happy to confirm that your case has been closed and your refund has been processed. The funds should be back in your account within 3–5 business days.

Once again, we're very sorry that this experience fell short of your expectations. Thank you for your patience and for giving us the opportunity to resolve this.

Kind regards,

TicketSwap

Request for fair resell prices

While the mechanics of buying and selling tickets on TicketSwap usually runs smoothly for me, I think it's ridiculous that people are allowed to sell their tickets for far more money than for which they originally bought them. This is not only unfair to people who weren't able to obtain a ticket, but it also highly motivates people with money to buy more tickets than they need, to hereafter resell for more money, which in turn leads to lots of other people not being able to buy tickets due to them selling out too fast (especially for high demand shows, such as the Stevie Wonder show I only just managed to get affordable tickets for as everyone was reselling their tickets for way higher prices than the original price). I would like to see this policy changed, where people are only allowed to resell tickets for their original price, or cheaper. This way, rich people won't be able to take advantage of the system, and it will become a bit easier to obtain tickets for true fans of music, as this can be very challenging with the current system (not just adressing TicketSwap here, but also platforms like Ticketmaster). I hope this will benefit everybody who enjoys life music experiences.

Hi Jasper,

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback and concerns with us. We really appreciate you sharing your perspective, as feedback like yours helps us understand what matters to our community and how we can continue improving.

We completely understand your point, especially when it comes to high-demand events where tickets sell out quickly and resale prices can make it more difficult for fans to attend. At TicketSwap, we also want to make ticket reselling as fair and accessible as possible.

This is why we have a maximum resale price policy in place. In most countries, tickets can be resold for up to 120% of the final ticket tier price. This means that the maximum permitted resale price isn't necessarily calculated based on what the seller originally paid, as different ticket tiers may have different prices.

These limits vary depending on local laws and regulations. For example, in Portugal, Norway and Canada, the maximum is 100%, while in several other countries, including France, Belgium and Italy, it is 105%.

We always aim to ensure that listings comply with our pricing policy. However, with large, high-demand events and a high volume of tickets, it can occasionally happen that a listing isn't detected in time. If you ever come across a listing that you believe exceeds our pricing limits, or feel that you may have overpaid for a ticket, please don't hesitate to reach out. We'll be happy to look into it!

If you believe you've overpaid for your ticket, you can download your original purchase receipt directly from your Ticketmaster account and send it to us. We'll review the original ticket price against our pricing policy and, if we find that the listing exceeded the permitted price, we'll take the necessary action.

Thank you again for your valuable feedback and for helping us make ticket reselling fairer for everyone!

Kind regards,

TicketSwap
