Complaint Rating:

Purchased event tickets for Queen Mary and the Ice Chill for December Holidays. I purchased the tickets and made the reservations with the event as instructed. Due to work I was unable to attend the event. When I contacted Groupon Customer Service they denied my refund based on a "7 day after the purchase date" rule. The problem with that is you had to purchase the tickets more than 7 days before the event to get the discount! The 7 days came and went before I was even able to attend the event. I explained this to the customer service representatives and was the told I could hold on to the voucher and apply it to the same event next year. So my only option was waiting a year to hope that the same event would be available and that I would be able to attend. I went back and forth several times with the company and they absolutely refused to give me a refund. The amount is over $100, so we aren't talking about a tiny amount of money here. The event/service did not suffer any damage or cost because I didn't attend, there simply isn't any reason not to refund my money. I have also posted this on FaceBook and a few other places in the hopes no one else gets scammed.
