I purchased two tickets for a show at the sphere in ********* from this site. When purchased, I was told via email that the tickets would be sent to me the next day.The next morning I received a call from Vivid Seats representative who said that the seller is requesting to provide me alternative seats then what I purchased. These seats are in the same section, but four rows closer. I replied with no problem.A link was sent to me to claim my seats. However, when I received this link, it did not work. I responded to my order email with Vegas.com and they sent me a new link, which when clicked said tickets have been claimed by another emailFrom there I proceeded to trade emails back and forth (12 total emails) between Vegas.com and Ticketmaster. The only resolution I could get was let me resend the link and try logging out if your account and logging back in. This was said to me close to 50 times. Also, use a different divide, open in a different browser were suggested.The day of the show I called in, as we only had a few hours before the show began and still no tickets. Literally 3.5 hours were spent on the phone with them while I am supposed to be in ***** enjoying my vacation. Sitting on hold for hours as they sincerely apologized and suggested that I try clicking the link again. They refused to resend the money to me and cancel the order as they said I have spreads claimed the tickets.I went to the box office at the show and informed them what is happening. The lady there spent 40 minutes trying to talk with them over the phone as well, explaining to them that the links do not work, and the tickets have already been claimed is not valid. She looked in their system and the seats were under another name (the seller). My name and email were not in the system at all. The ticket attendant at the venue was getting frustrated with her as well. Vegas.com continued to refuse to refund the order, as they claimed I had the tickets.Business response

I purchased multiple sets of tickets from vegas.com One of them came through fine with the tickets transferred to me. For this transaction though, I never received the ACTUAL TICKETS from them. They tried to send me a URL from a company not involved in the ticketing process. They sent IMAGES of the actual tickets, but did not transfer actual ownership. I am unable to download these to my apple wallet, if the event is cancelled, I have no recourse. I cannot resell them, as I do not actually have the tickets. Providing me images on a hosted URL and not sending the actual tickets is similar to selling an oil painting to someone and delivering a polaroid picture of the painting and expecting full payment. This is either intentional fraud or negligent business practice. I want no part in it and have wasted 10+ hours trying to resolve this on phone calls and over email.Business response

When I bought the ticket, I didn't know that the strip show weren't allowed the people who under 21 to watch. I'm a college student, only 18 years old, so I can't get into the venue to watch the show. I really feel very depressed for cannot watch this show, and I found that I can not contact the business to explain the refund of tickets, so now I feel very angry. I strongly request the organizer to put the requirements for watching the show on the page before buying the ticket, and except nothing but return all my money to me.Business response

I have attempted to contact guest to let them know that this show Does allow entrance to guests that are 18 years old or older. I've also confirmed that our website does indicate the age restrictions is 18+. When attempting to reach guest via phone I receive a message stating "the Voicemail box is not set up yet"; so I have been unable to leave a message. I will attempt to contact guest via email for resolution.Customer response

We booked two tickets with a price of $155.01 in total (***** for tickets and ***** for service fee and **** order processing fee) on Vegas.com, with a ********************* of ***-00GDBWUU. But when we got tickets today, we realized we were cheated by them, since the price on tickets was just $99.98 in total ( ***** for tickets and 16 for service fee). We have tried to contact their customer service but never got a response after a long waiting. Their behavior is definitely a fraud and I do need my extra money back. Many thanks for your help.Business response

Booked two sets of tickets with lasvegas.com received both sets via email! Came through ***** before Christmas and on way back! Tickets were for illuminate and ************************************************ ! Illuminate went well even went to show QR code worked fine. Second set didnt ! Showed up for show and I was told our seats were sold to someone else ! Because they cancelled them( lasvegas com) I called them to ask why. Told by the man that it was because of fraud and no explanation! Checked with bank they had no records on their end! So I missed the show I was so upset since I travelled so far from Oregon! The gentleman said it was booked at 859 and cancelled by 859 so I called back the next day, after I sent them and email with no response! So I called several hours later and the lady kept arguing with me about it , I asked to speak to her supervisor since I had just got a email that said they had refunded both weeks later and the next day after showing for ********! I asked to speak to the supervisor since that lady was very argumentative ! She wouldnt listen to me about how I had been to the other show but yet had no issues! But then if they didnt feel responsible for what happened why refund the other tickets too! They wouldnt take no responsibility for customer service and ******* the supervisor was extremely rude and said well you should be happy you got a refund! I asked her why it generated a fraud on my first set and she said they didnt know and I asked her what company did that fraud generated message and she couldnt tell me that either! She was extremely rude and said when asked why they dont reach out to the person who booked it she said they are not responsible for letting the frauder know and I told her I was not fraudulently hit! That I booked those tickets and she had rhe opportunity to make it right by giving me free tickets and she wouldnt she just didnt give two craps about us spending money for the Uber or nothing she had no remorse for us at all ! Just ***Business response

Dear *******************,

Your reservations were refunded in full, and the refund has been issued back to the original form of payment.
We value your business and your satisfaction as our customer, and we understand that an apology or explanation doesnt always reverse a negative experience. We hope youll give our town another chance. We will be sending you a promo code to use for a future purchase, which will not expire. Use this promo code towards the purchase of hotel rooms, show tickets, nightclub passes, tours or any combination of those products.
Again, we apologize for the inconvenience and hope your next ********** is excellent.

I will take your apology. What I dont understand is why, you cant offer me the same tickets to ***************************** one! By the way, ****** only covers the Uber, now if I want to attend. I also have to pay to go there again! At my expense. I didnt even mention that I have terminal cancer. The trip was my dream to see that show! I dont generally use the cancer treatment to get anything! But i got upset with ******* and told her i was terminally ill , after listening to her and the other lady berating me and tell me that I should be happy. I got a refund on a show I saw! That was totally messed up! She shouldnt be a supervisor actually! Because I was truly upset and I was in their line of work as a corporate travel manager! The client may not always be right! But what, I know is you dont talk to people like that. Especially a client or in this case someone who wasnt the fraud-r ! She actually said to me at one point, we dont alert the fraud-er! I told *******, hey I am not the fraud-er so your system is NOT accurate and not right, she didnt care . I literally asked her how a decision by a machine or software can determine that in the same minute its booked and it didnt pick up on the other show! But yet you must feel liability or you wouldnt have refunded me for the first one and tell me that I should be happy I got to go! And got a refund !
So I respectfully accept and deny your offer! Lets see how BBB sees this ! Because you are only giving me my UBER bill off with a few dollars left over! Basically I wont use ****** thats not what I asked for to begin with! You ruined my trip by the way I was treated like a fraud-r

They could at least try and get me free tickets! But they dont, remember this is a software who started the issue and therefore its their responsibility customer service wise to say you have been frauded or have and issue with the card they had!
