I purchased 3-day passes to the October Austin F1 race in February. However, five months later, the company contacted my fiancé claiming there was a mix-up and that we had only purchased 1-day passes. They offered us the option to either keep the 1-day passes or get a refund and purchase another pass in a different location. We told them we would think about it and get back to them. We then emailed the company to verify the original passes, and they confirmed via email that the 3-day passes were verified by the supplier three days later. This contradicted their initial claim, indicating that someone was lying to us. The company then contacted my fiancé again, trying to persuade her to cancel the order. We refused and insisted on receiving the original 1-day passes, planning to find other tickets for the remaining days. However, they then claimed that there were no tickets attached to our order and continued to pressure us to cancel. We still refused and demanded the 1-day passes for the original location. The company made an excuse about a "mapping error," which we believe is untrue. We think the company, specifically ****, is shady for lying to us and trying to pressure my fiancé into canceling our order. And will not give us our tickets we originally orderedBusiness Response

We are sorry for the issues with your order. There was a mapping error by the seller and that seller would not fulfill the order. Multiple attempts were made by our team to contact you about the issue; however, none of those attempts were returned until closer to the first event date, which resulted in a reduction of available inventory to provide as a replacement. We presented multiple offers for replacement tickets, but those offers were declined; therefore, the order was fully refunded.Business Response

Our supplier originally thought that yes, the seller had 3-day passes; however, the supplier reached back out to TFL at a later date and stated there was a mapping error, which resulted in single-day passes being mapped to the 3-day pass event on the website. At that point, TFL began attempts to reach out to the customer in an effort to provide alternate tickets. The customer failed to respond to our phone outreach attempts for over 4 weeks. By the time we received a response, all 3-day passes in the main grandstand area were either sold out or 2x-3x above what the customer paid. We provided options for alternate tickets in other areas of the track - the customer declined those, stating they wanted to keep their order, but there were not tickets available where they ordered due to the aforementioned issue. At that point, TFL refunded the customer in full for their purchase, as it became clear that we were not going to be able to reach an agreement with the customer on alternate tickets.Customer Answer

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because: And as per your first call to us we stated that we did not want to switch our position and that we would keep the tickets even if they were one day passes. The business kept pushing the refund option on us or to switch our location which we refused and stated we would find other tickets for the other days. And even after they contacted us and told us they were one day we emailed them and they once again were confirmed as 3 day passes from the supplier all emails saved. Then the second call we told the company we wanted our original order of one day passes but The company made up this mapping issue lie then said there was no tickets attached to the order which was a lie. then the company took it apon themselves for no logical reason to cancel our order against our request not to even after we stated we wanted the one day passes.
Sincerely,

What: I bought 2 tickets to Ed Sheeran's concert Concert info: Date is Jun 24, 2023. Time: 18:00. Venue: ***** Field, ********* **. When: Jun 16, 2023. Cost: $161.75 What business committed to provide: tickets Result: no tickets provided. I haven't attended the concert because I didn't get the tickets. Aftermath: several calls to the company. Extremely rude agents, with the last call today (July 10th), a woman hanging up on my calls and claiming that I've received a ticket and that they can't do anything. "If you want to refund your tickets, contact your bank, you've already received tickets". Has business tried to resolve the problem: no, nothing at all. I was told that the manager would call me back several times. I would admit that when he called back, I talked to him but then got an urgent matter, told him I had to go and that I'll call back later and hang up. Later on, I called them several times to get connected to the manager. What I got is that the manager can't be reached now. In addition: completely unprofessional behavior. Attaching the screenshot from the website where it still says its "Pending", meaning that I didn't get any tickets.Business Response

The order in question for the customer was originally captured in our fraud and risk team for further investigation as to the legitimacy of the order. After multiple attempts to reach the customer went unanswered leading up to the event went with no response, the customer was not transferred tickets.
After the event, the customer reached out to and during the conversations with multiple staff members, was unable to answer basic questions such as event name, event city, event venue, correct phone number and associated personal information with the order, and disconnecting calls during our inquiries, placing further questions on the legitimacy of customer in which we were speaking with.
The customer has already been refunded in full.Customer Answer

I am rejecting this response because:What business claims is shocking for me.
The claim about trying to reach me several times is an ABSOLUTE lie.
From the moment of me buying tickets which happened on 06/16 until today, I've only got 1 call on Jun 21, 3:34PM.
What happened during the call: A man welcomed me with joining the service, asked what is the reason I choose tickets for less, verified my home address and my e-mail and asked if I'd like to upgrade to better seats for free. I agreed, and the man said I will get my tickets soon. NO mentioning of any fraud activity regarding to my account. I am attaching the screenshot of call logs from the Google Voice number that I use, 2 pages of the calls. See file: call_logs
In contrary, the company never tried to solve my problem when I contacted them. Once I've got a response saying that manager is on vacation and can't contact me. The next time, this Monday, a woman dropped my call after I explained the situation (as I think she talked to the manager) and was hanging up whenever I tried to call from my number. I can prove this by the duration of calls, the first call on Monday being 5 min and 4 secs, the other two being 20 seconds each. Finally, I found their another number where another woman listened to my problem and put my on infinite hold (10 min and 45 secs). See file: call_durations.
As for the refund, no refund was issued. I am attaching a screenshot from my bank account, using the search words "tickets" (where we can see the actual transaction) and "refund" being blank, from the same account, see file "BankAcc".
Lastly, I haven't had any mails (physical mails) from them other than the welcoming letter. Unfortunately, I don't have that letter with me, as I haven't saved it, but the contents said they are pleasured to welcome me and that they are providing me a coupon with the following details (taken from my notes):
******* *** **** ****** *********** **** ***** ****** **
Luckily, I have a snapshot of the letter from my USPS informed delivery. If you pay attention to the details, there is the coupon code I've provided, proving that this was just a welcoming letter, no fraud request or tickets. See: letter.png. This also proves that I used my real address and name, which couldn't be marked as "scam". In addition, they called me after I bought the tickets for the verification and I said the exact same details.
Finally, after so much struggle with this company, I suspect the company uses shady data collection procedures and may be even collecting my personal data, proving my real name and address, collecting my payment and phone number information to run scam schemes on myself.
I don't accept this answer from the company and ready to prive all the other details needed.

Customer’s order initially appeared to be a likely case of fraud. Subsequent conversations with customer reinforced that same perspective. The customer was consistently, unable to identify the event he planned to attend, its date, etc. Only upon receipt of customer’s effort to charge back the order did it become clear that his original intent was legitimate. We are not contesting the customers charge back. The customer will not be charged at all for the order. It is worth noting that the customers, description and account of interactions with our offices or not factually accurate. However, it would appear as though the most important consideration is return of the customers funds. This has now occurred.Customer Answer

I am rejecting this response because:I'd like to thanks BBB for the opportunity to communicate with the business.
I'd also like all my words and statements to be shown on the company's profile to warn people about the possibility of unfair actions from the company.
In addition, I request the company to delete all the information related to my profile, address and others.

I ordered two tickets to a Chiefs game on 7/2/2022. The tickets were emailed to my husband on October 21st from ************, he immediately received a second email saying the tickets had been cancelled. We could not access the tickets. I began calling Tickets for less the week of November 7th, I called twice that week and both times I was told that they would speak to a manager and get me my tickets that afternoon. I never heard anything from them. I called again on 11/15 and was told again I would have my tickets that afternoon or the morning of the 11/16. I did not receive my tickets. I called again on 11/16 around noon and requested a refund for my tickets since I had made so many attempts to get them with no response. I was told I needed to wait and I would get them soon. I found out in early November that I will have to have surgery in December so I will not be able to attend the game. Their delay in providing me with my tickets is hindering my ability to sell them. I want them to refund me for the purchase. Their welcome message on their phone boasts their A+ BBB rating which is why I'm filing this complaint here.Business Response

Customer ordered tickets on 7/28/2022. Looks like we had a transfer error that prevented the transfer from going through. We worked with the Chiefs and got the issue resolved. We transferred the tickets successfully to customer on 10/21/2022. The customer called in having trouble and we sent them a transfer link to accept the tickets on 11/29/2022. You can see once they got that, they accepted the transfer minutes later. They got the tickets over a month before the event. We transferred the tickets before they initiated a dispute, they just couldn't find the email. Once they reached out to us, we were able to provide support and resolve their issue. They've accepted the tickets and have them for the game. Refund is not eligible on this order since we fulfilled the order in a timely manner, well before the game and provided extra support to help customer.
