Ticket Squeeze Reviews

This company creates websites posing as the official websites for theaters so that you think you're buying from the venue, but really you're buying overpriced resale tickets. Once you figure this out, your only option is to perpetuate the cycle of dishonesty by reselling your tickets on their site. Totally shady and not cool.

My experience: I wanted to get tickets for a show at the Orpheum theater in San Francisco. Upon Googling one of the first results (if not the first) was orpheumtheatersanfrancisco.org. Looks like the official website for the theater, right? I bought 2 tickets for ~$350. I only became suspicious when I realized that I had no actual seat assignment, just a section and row. Upon further investigation I realized I'd gone to Ticket Squeeze's fraudulent (IMO) website and paid way too much without even getting a seat assignment. I was able to get BETTER tickets for $225 through the actual venue's website (broadwaysf.com). I've contacted Ticket Sqeeze for a refund, which of course they are denying, and only giving me the option to resell my tickets through them. I don't want to rip someone else off, so I'm pursuing a claim with my CC company.

UPDATE: Adding a start because they agreed to give me a refund, which I appreciate.

I never post reviews on anything on the internet but this experience inspired me to do so in hopes that others will not make the same mistake I did.

If you are reading this before buying tickets from Ticket Squeeze, here are a few things to consider:
—Go check Ticketmaster first. It only takes a few seconds. You are most likely paying more for tickets. You're probably saying, "Paying more than Ticketmaster?!?! No way." It's worth checking. That's all I am saying.
—Some of the people reselling tickets are probably people like me who thought they were buying tickets from Ticketmaster and now just trying to get rid of them because they realized Ticketmaster is a lot cheaper. I stupidly paid double for tickets.
—When you buy tickets, you will be told that you will get your tickets on a specific date a few days before. This is NOT a promise or guarantee. How do I know? Their customer service people told me. I was told my tickets would be delivered on a specific date and as I type this I am still waiting.
—Your tickets are non-refundable. Right when you press buy. Once they have your money, they have no intention on refunding it. Even when you realized you made a mistake.
People make mistakes. I did. And it's a costly lesson I will never make again.

UPDATE: After posting this, Ticket Squeeze reached out to find out more information about my experience. I find this quite disturbing that it's the day of the event, I am STILL waiting for my tickets to arrive in my email and yet Ticket Squeeze is more concerned about their image instead of delivering what I paid for.

FINAL UPDATE: Hours before the event, I finally received my tickets. I am sure there are others out there like me who get pretty anxious when something doesn't arrive when it is supposed to. It can ruin your whole day. Maybe a few days. I almost bought another pair of tickets because I was worried my tickets would never arrive.

If Ticket Squeeze expects us to accept that ticket sales are "non-refundable" because that's the agreement we accept when we buy the tickets, then they should be held accountable when tickets don't arrive on the date they specifically said they would.

I thought I would never be able to find a great seat for the Chris Stapleton concert here in Saskatchewan. Luckily, I found one through Ticket Squeeze. It was affordable and the transaction went really smoothly. I'd definitely recommend purchasing tickets through Ticket Squeeze.

Great place to get your tickets. Quick and easy with great customer service. Will certainly bookmark this website for future purchases. The only website I will use from now on to get my tickets!

Good selection of tickets while travelling, great performances.

Ticket squeeze is a lifesaver!!! I thought I’d miss my chance to see Seventeen’s concert because i wasnt able to get to my computer on time and my phone ran out of battery! Just my luck right? But lo and behold, there are tickets available at Ticket Squeeze and they’re pretty good seats! my hands were shaking while ordering but i finally got my passes. I saw the show in august 14th at the Oakland Arena and it was mind blowing! Thanks a lot Ticket Squeeze

Tickets Downloaded. The Chicks at Gorge Amphitheatre. Very excited.

I went to Seattle for a concert on August 3rd at T-Mobile Park. I purchased only the parking ticket at Ticket Squeeze for USD 117.75, however, the parking company indicated on the ticked purchase where I parked my car charges around USD 35.00 for the whole day. Conclusion Ticket Squeeze overpriced the parking lot by around 70%. I felt robbed. Plus, I had to pay an extra USD 5.00 because the ticket purchased only allowed me to stay until 10:30 P.M, the concert finished around 10:30 P.M. How was I supposed to arrive at the parking lot that is a 1-mile distance from T-Mobile in less than 15 minutes (tolerable time difference)?

Overpriced Scams -Terrible business. Listed tickets as refundable, only to find out after ordering overpriced tickets they are not. A medical issue prevented us from going. Also purchased insurance, which also seems sketchy - no response in two months.
If they are non-refundable they should change the way you word the insurance option. It is misleading.
