Seatwave tickets to nfl london

I purchased tickets to the Philadelphia Eagles game in London the last week of October. I live in Hungary, and have not received an email about them mailing out tickets. I will be heading out of town in 2 weeks. I want to know if my tickets are going to be mailed out. I paid the extra to make sure I get refunded for tickets. Please advise where my tickets are! This is a costly trip centered around the game tickets.

Hello
I booked my tickets well over a year ago for shanai twain. Over £700 was paid for these two tickets.
I had not received my tickets upto a week before the event, I emailed in a few times then two days before rang you. I spoke with Gabriela she was helpful and told me my tickets would now be sent straight to hotel up in scotland, I agreed to this as I had no other option. The night before the event, I recieved an email saying there was a problem with my ticket s and they could now not be sent?
What am I supposed to do about my hotels id booked my car parking space for 4 days my flights and the dissapointment for my daughter after a ayear of waiting to go, she also booked off work. I would like a compensation procedure please as I think this is disgusting, I havnet even had my refund of the tickets.

Thank you

Seatwave bst paul simon 2 tickets sold, no email replies, no money, no good.

My BST Paul Simon tickets were apparently sold as only a single pair (not mine) were available for sale the day before the show.
Despite repeated emails to Seatwave, I have not had a reply and no monies have hit my account 2 weeks on.
Seatwave is a ripoff to buyers and sellers and should be avoided. They take a huge cut from each ticket sale AND force the buyer to pay a premium as well. Their greed adds almost 40% to the ticket price!

Is Seatwave legit?

Our verdict: Complaints Board's detailed analysis reveals Seatwave as encompassing serious risks, firmly establishing it as lacking legitimacy. This evaluation serves as a strong caution to potential customers to avoid any business with Seatwave, thereby safeguarding their personal and financial interests.

Seatwave earns 11% level of Trustworthiness

Serious Risk Warning: Complaints Board's evaluation of Seatwave shows a critical trust level at 11%. Avoid for personal and financial safety.

Based on our evaluation, Seatwave has resolved only 24% of 53 complaints, indicating a severe lack of commitment to customer satisfaction, trustworthiness, and responsiveness. This may suggest that the company is apathetic or disinterested in addressing the opinions and concerns of its customers.

We detected that seatwave.com is missing an SSL certificate, which is a cause for concern. Without an SSL certificate, the website may not be taking adequate steps to protect users' sensitive information. This can increase the risk of intercepted data being used for malicious purposes.

Seatwave protects their ownership data, a common and legal practice. However, from our perspective, this lack of transparency can impede trust and accountability, which are essential for establishing a credible and respected business entity.

The website belonging to Seatwave has a low number of visitors, which could be a red flag for users. However, it's important to conduct additional research to fully evaluate the website's legitimacy and trustworthiness.

However ComplaintsBoard has detected that:

  • We found clear and detailed contact information for Seatwave. The company provides a physical address, 2 phone numbers, and 2 emails, as well as 4 social media accounts. This demonstrates a commitment to customer service and transparency, which is a positive sign for building trust with customers.
  • Several mixed reviews for Seatwave have been found on various review sites. While some customers have had positive experiences with the company, others have reported issues with their products or customer service. It's important to read and consider a variety of reviews before making a decision to purchase from this website.

Seatwave sold a ticket and not getting my money

Sold a ticket fir wireless festival july 6th and sent it off first class tracked (I have ref number). My ticket ([protected]) has been listed as cancelled and seatwave are taking a considerable chunk of money due despite the fact it was delivered safely to the buyer. I called seatwave with my complaint and the woman who serviced me said she cant do anything despite me requesting to talk to a supervisor/ manager. Worst customer service and if I don't get the money back i'm owed then i'll be taking seatwave to a small claims court.

Seatwave wireless ticket/refund

I am making a formal complaint in regard to a Wireless ticket I purchased for my daughter's birthday on the 23rd of January 2018. She didn't received the ticket and we have spent the last 10 days chasing an update. We were advised that this ticket was never dispatched and assured a refund would be processed. My daughter was advised that a confirmation email would be sent to [protected]@gmail.com which is my email address and I can confirm I have not received any confirmation at all. I have watched my daughter call your number and wait over 20 minutes to get through as I am today as I attempt to call you to express my utter disgust at what can only be describe as appalling customer service. I paid over £200 pounds for this ticket and received nothing. I am now questioning the legitimacy of the company and where my money is. My daughter requested a managers call back and is yet to receive one and I have yet to receive this confirmation email which I was advised was sent 3 times apparently. I am requesting compensation for the numerous calls we have both made and i am still on hold to the number [protected] at 26.41 minutes and counting...

Seatwave money

I posted ticket on this website to sell and to tickets got sold somewhere else. I went back on to delete the tickets but the website wouldn't let me. The tickets got sold but as I don't have them can't give them to the buyer. Seatwave are charging my credit card €300 for not being able to delete the tickets. Never trusting them again and neither should you! Looking into sueing.

Seatwave poor service on paying ticket money to sellers

I sold two tickets for Wales v France on March 18th on the website on 07.01.18. Sale ID 2022456 and Listing ID [protected]. I understood that the funds would not be available until after every the match and could take up to 15 working days. I received an email saying that the funds had been sent to Pay Pal on 05.04.18 and could take up to ten working days. Nothing came into my account after April 19th. I spoke with Pay Pal and they said that there was nothing pending or in the account. Seatwave said it had been paid and even updated my account o say this. Havig lodged a query with customer service, I was eventually told at the. End of April that there had a been a mistake in the finance dept and the funds were never sent. I have had to wait another week for the money to be transferred today (02.05.18) I asked for a consideration about the fact that I have had such poor service from you, yet you have still taken the full fee. I do not think that this is acceptable especially as I was waiting for this money (£184.80) to pay some bills at the end of April which was not possible due to your mistakes. I am requesting that you refund the commission fee as your service was so poor. You have held the buys money for 4 months before I have received it. The tickets had to be returned to the Wales RFU and were then reissued so there was no way that the tickets were not valid.
I look forward to your response.

Seatwave two tickets to see andre rieu, 2 june 2018, in vienna

I just received my two tickets, and I am wondering whether I was sent the correct tickets. I paid us$537.12 for two tickets (charged to my credit card on 28 december 2018). I was shocked to see the face value of each ticket: 46, 2 euros which is about us$37.42 us, so us$74.84 for two tickets. I looked at the seating plan and the seats are not at all decent! These tickets are gifts for a special birthday and I am embarrassed to give them as a gift! I knew I would be paying more than the face value of the ticket, but more than 7 times the face value? Please, can you find out whether I was sent the correct tickets? This scalping is unbelievable! It is worse than in the usa!

Seatwave never received ticket

Hello Seatwave.

I've been trying to get in touch with you for some time by now. Nearly 6 month ago my friends and I bought 7 Eminem tickets on a couple of different orders. I did never receive the 7th ticket, eve though I got a confirmation mail, that the ticket was send. I called once and after an hour on hold, I finally got through to a employee, who promised me the delivery would be there in short time, which did not happen. Unfortunately, I didn't receive my ticket at all. On behalf of that, I demand a refund for that specific ticket. I scrolled through trustpilot and noticed, that I am not the only victim of this "incident" nor am i not the only one not able to get through to you. Even though I decline the method of texting to result such issues, I find no other options, since your calling line seems to be overfull.

I've attached the email received, when the ticket was promised shipped.
The mail with order confirmation don't seem to be in my mailbox. However, the last four digits of my card is 3500, which should be the info. It's me or my friend who bought it, we don't remember who

Kindest regards

Seatwave payment for tickets sold

Why is there no way to communicate with seatwave!?!?!?! Simply unforgivable. When I go to ask a question when I log in to my seatwave account there is only room for about 10 words! Arghhhhhhh!

Dear seatwave - re: order no 1330778 x factor live 22/3/2014
You sold 2 of these tickets for me and recently emailed me indicating that I have a payment of #52.80 to be paid to me. I logged into my account and the payment was made on 28/9/2017 via bacs. However, the only credit card on the account was out of date. I have since updated he card on my account so it is current. No payment has since been made to my account. Can you please make a payment to the card now on my account? See attached screen grab of email from you.

Sep 19, 2017 7:12 am EDT

I did not see ticket restriction upon ordering and paying for ticket, which has a restriction for only people under 18 years of age. Someone from Seatwave replied it did show. Can a picture/attachment of this visible restriction be mailed to me at deon.fourie@mail.com, to prevent me from doing this in future and understanding clearly where and if, I was at fault.
Many thanks

Seatwave ticket refund

I purchased a ticket for Little Mix in Caldicot Castle. I ordered the ticket on July 8th. The ticket arrived in Dublin on July 13th. The same day of the concert. The concert that is in Wales the same day! Absolutely disgraceful service by Seatwave. I am demanding a refund of €125.12 for my worthless ticket. It is a violation of my consumer rights. This is the first time I have ever used Seatwave and I will never be using them again.
My order number is as follows; 1976662
I can provide emails upon request
