The transactions of the of computer controlled part of the app seem to work well but don’t dare use customer service for help, I just asked the First Lady, I have never done this before can you just tell me if I did this rite please, and have my tickets. she told me I could not be on Wi-Fi when using the app so she hung up on me. I had to get on my phone. When I tried the second time to just confirm I had not sent the tickets off somewhere, this lady says your not the person listed I said there are two of us one who has money and no email one who has a email my brother same last name of corse and we made sure that everything matched exactly just as stub hub told us to so she proceeded to hang up on me, and remember I was the most polite you can possibly be having been a customer service manager for Chrysler corporation for 33 years this is company so set in its ways of telling people to go eat there hat so much they can’t even be nice for one second to help a customer you know do there job correctly.
I bought 2 tickets to an event a month ago and downloaded the app immediately to verify my purchase. I had no trouble signing in and viewing my tickets at that time. Flash forward a month later, day of show, and the app tells me upon signing in that I either haven’t used the app recently (I used it exactly a month ago, how often am I really expected to use it??) or that “this is a new device” (it isn’t) and I need to confirm my acct via an email they’ll send me. So they send me the email, I click “Verify Device”, which takes me not to the app but to the website, which greets me with an error message in a red box: “This session has expired. Please log in again.” So I log out of the website, go back to the email that has the link that they say will expire in 6 hours (it’s been minutes, not even 1 hour), and when I click the link, I get the same error message. I tried logging in on the app again, get the same message about needing to verify, but obviously that DID NOT WORK, so I request a new email with a new verification be sent. It never comes. I just hope I can get into the show tonight with my proof of purchase and the order number, which thankfully the WEBSITE does provide when I log in. But there are no viewable tickets with bar codes, which is what the agent at the door will want to scan tonight. Now, tell me why this is happening. And why did I pay such exorbitant surcharge fees for THIS experience?
so i bought tickets for the playboi carti antagonist tour. i’ll admit the way i purchased them was not the best as i bought them through a scalping website and was over charged a lot. however, i did get the tickets and they sat in my account for months. this event sadly was postponed multiple times from october to february, then was postponed without a date till further notice. today i logged back into my account to see my tickets and if there had been an update on the concert date. i log back in and look for my tickets but find nothing. i try logging out and logging back in and reload the page multiple times but still, nothing. on top of that, my order history was completely blank. i then go to start a chat with a representative to get help with the problem. i tell them my problem and ask to get my tickets back in my account. they then proceed to say that i need to contact the website that i used to purchase my tickets and also state i should contact the bank that i used to purchase these tickets as well. i don’t understand why i would need to contact the website or bank that i purchased these tickets through if the tickets were successfully delivered to my account in the first place. i've just come to the conclusion that this app scams people. please take my advice and the advice of many others and don’t purchase tickets through here. use ticketmaster or some other reliable source.
Let me first say that the employee we talked with was polite and kind and tried very hard to assist us. Unfortunately, when he merged my two emails he linked the event tickets from last year to this year. I got to the event, having paid for 10 tickets, and the etickets didn’t work. So after waiting in line I had to go to another line for printed tickets. The box office tried to print off my tickets but the only ones they could access to print (we discovered after printing) were from 2021!!! This was after spending quite a bit of time talking on the phone with customer service before we left home! We had to work with the box office manager for an hour, and could only access tickets after I contacted my bank and got the payment information. We did finally access tickets, no thanks to AXS, but because the manager knew how to work around the system. I am seriously unhappy that we missed over an hour of the event, especially when we arrived before the event began, just because an AXS employee linked tickets from the 2021 rodeo to the 2022 rodeo today. I had a handicapped family member who was seriously compromised during the wait time as well, due to heat and having to climb a total of 43 rows of steps to finally get to the correct seats instead of 22, which was almost to much for her to handle. All of this because we were linked to LAST YEAR’S tickets! Really?!!!. I expect much more from AXS!!!
I don’t normally do app reviews, but this one frustrated me. The app communications are confusing. First, after requesting to transfer two tix to the person I bought them for, I got an email saying “[Firstname Lastname] hasn’t accepted the ticket you transferred...” But the name it listed was MY name, not the person to whom the transfer should go. The next day I got the same email twice simultaneously. I did buy two tix, and my friend had not yet accepted the transfer, but why two emails? Does my friend have to accept each ticket separately? When my friend did accept the transfer, I received an email saying my friend had “claimed the 1 ticket you transferred for the following event...” Wait a minute, I transferred TWO tickets. Why does the email say “1 ticket”? Have no fear, there’s a link in the email where I can view the completed transfer. Ugh! After several tries, the link DOES NOT WORK. But wait, there’s a phone number in the email you can call for help. Tried it. On hold forever while I worked in the kitchen. I finally gave up on that. That’s not all! The app currently states that the tix were transferred on March 14, 2019. Not true! That’s the date I requested the transfer. They weren’t actually transferred until my friend accepted the transfer two days later. The tix I purchased were not cheap. I would expect the venue would use an electronic ticketing system that’s not so confusing and confounding. Two thumbs down.
Purchased a ticket 3 months ago, got the confirmation for the order. So I followed the directions as stated in the email to download app and create account when I tried to create an account I needed to verify my email and was not receiving the email, I check the spam folders and all my folders for that email and checked multiple times to so I can receive me ticket. I never got one and had no way of contacting support since they were closed. I was unable to go to the event and I’m very frustrated cause of this I spent $76 on ticket and had no way of using it. I was unable to go to the event I contacted customer service and was told they will investigate. 3 months later I replied to a email and they told me they were able to confirm email and unable to refund me for the ticket I was unable to use. Beware of this service and tickets you buy from them cause if the app doesn’t work and customer service is closed you will not be able to use the tickets! I will never purchase another ticket again from this and the customer service is awful. I reported this to my bank and will make sure to make this issue aware on any media source I can. Highly don’t recommend using this service!
I had to log in each time I used this app, which was several times within a couple of days. I chose the facebook login option which usually is super easy with other apps, but instead of using my already logged fb account in the facebook app or safari web browser (as every other app does), I instead had to input my fb account info every single time. Since this app doesn’t allow adding the tickets to my Wallet (which would mean sharing would be super easy), I opted to share via the app’s email share option. My recipient never received an email with the shared ticket (definitely input the email address correctly). So instead, I revoked the ticket share back to my app, and decided to show tickets for both of us. The revoked ticket would not scan properly at the venue, so we had to wait while the box office tried to figure out what the issue was...they were able to print a paper ticket somehow (I’m guessing they somehow made a new barcode?), and that did scan, so we were eventually able to get in... I recommend the creators of this app fix the facebook login issue and make sure users don’t need to login each time they need to access their account in the app. Adding tickets to Wallet is a must, and sending/revoking needs major help.
I had a problem with my purchase and tried for a week to get it resolved through their customer service. After 4 phone calls and 5 emails, I sold my tickets to a friend. I bought it for the wrong day and I was trying to move the tickets. The reply I got a week later was their FAQ cut and paste. Which also meant I'm doing the work to resolve it. None of which addressed my problem. I don't believe it should be this hard to get some help. I will not be using AXS again. Too much work to have fun! I got a survey request my reply: Since no one was there to help with moving my tickets I had to spend time writing and calling numbers that didn’t resolve anything. I was very frustrated when if someone answered my call or ticket request this could have been resolved within a few minutes. I managed a box office and work for a ticking software company in my experience I would not use axs again and feel like if I made a purchasing mistake it would be taken care in a timely manner. Since no one read my emails before I have no faith that anyone one cares about this one. Looking forward to another automated email…NOT! Have a nice day! I will now that I’m not using AXS. Thanks for wasting my time again! ✌🏽
I’ve used the Flash Seats app for years with no problems. Recently, after making a purchase I was informed that AXS would be taking the place of the discontinued Flash Seats app effective 8/30. I didn’t have a problem with the transition until I downloaded AXS and attempted to login. It was explained that if you had Flash Seats then you already had an account in AXS waiting for you. Understandably, you’d only have to reset your password and then you’d have access to all your account content. Unfortunately, after I downloaded this horrible app, it wouldn’t allow me to sign in. I requested a password and followed the instructions, but that didn’t resolve the situation. Every time I try to sign in, after creating a new password with my already existing email address on file, I’m told that There is an account error and I need to be redirected to the help page or live chat. At that point I’m told it is “cookie” related and I can’t proceed in Safari without changing my settings. The only problem is, I’m not using Safari so it should make a difference. I’m annoyed with this application and don’t even care to resolve the issue. I’m going to really miss the easy use of Flash Seats. Too bad it makes you give this app at least one star on the review. This app is absolute garbage!!!
The monopoly that AXS holds in the ticket and entertainment market creates an environment at AXS where customer service is not only an afterthought but non existent. You don’t care about customers or their needs and it shows in all of your actions and words. I am a 58 year old professional male who, on a normal year, spends thousands of dollars on event tickets through AXS. I recently had a knee surgery which will preclude me from attending a few concerts over the next two weeks. I asked AXS for a refund and they said NO go sell your tickets on our aftermarket app. This decision was 1) not customer oriented, 2) self serving as AXS would stand to make more money if I sell on their aftermarket platform, 3) glutinous because they already have made significant fees on my original purchase and now want me to sell with them again to gain even more fees. AXS’s lack of integrity and non existent concern for its customers is appalling and disappointing. I will do everything I can to NOT buy tickets from AXS in the future.
I ordered tickets online to a recent show. I kept being redirected back to the beginning to try again with the prompt saying saying “Something went wrong. Let’s try again.” So I kept trying and the same thing kept happening. Then I received 2 notifications from my bank for 2 separate large transactions. Yet I do not have my tickets or any co formation. I emailed AXS 2 times trying to resolve the problem and find out in in fact I do actually have tickets. I received an auto response on 2 separate emails and have not heard from AXS and still do not have my tickets. It has now been over 9 days and I still haven’t heard from a real person and still do not know if I have my tickets. I am concerned as the show is coming soon. Second hand retailers have them available, but now the cost is through the roof and I don’t know if I need to take a chance that I will actually get my tickets that I have paid for, or if I should try from an outside source. Please help me with my situation. I am going to be extremely upset if I can’t go to the TOOL concert. Cheers!
I’ve had the app for about 3 weeks now and have not yet been able to get my tix through it. It keeps putting up an error message and won’t even let me log in, while at the same time, I can log in to the website. Only problem with that is you can’t access or print the actual tickets for there. I’m currently on hold with AXS after 3 dropped online chats over a period of about 2 hours. It’s a continuous loop of chats, call attempts and e-mails with no resolution yet. At the last show I had to show the guy at the booth my original confirmation email so he could put the tix back into their system and print them. Not only was the app useless, it caused us to miss the show opening due to the time it took to do this. I’m actually considering not going to venues that use the AXS service
I bought tickets in May but the catch was apparently it wouldn’t be processed until the end of July two months after I bought the tickets. So the email said it wouldn’t be in my account until July 22 at 10 am. Here I am July 22 after 10 am and they still haven’t gone in my account and the concert is in a week. I should add I can’t go to the concert anymore. No big deal I can just sell the ticket. Except I can’t because there’s NO TICKET. it says “it will appear here there might be a delay” my guy I’ve literally already waited over 2 months there shouldn’t be a delay. It’s already going to be risky trying to sell it a week before the concert which is whatever— but I still haven’t gotten my ticket. Customer service is nonexistent. It’s a self help thing that just has FAQ but no number to call and it says you can’t ask for help from a real person until you only have 48 hours until the event. What was the big fee they add on for if I don’t have my ticket and I can’t have any customer support? And the fact you have to have this stupid app to even get your ticket is ridiculous. I will NEVER buy a ticket that requires AXS I regret buying this ticket and y’all need to give me my $200+ ticket now.
This is literally my first app review ever. Never have I ever had to jump through so many hoops to purchase a ticket. Isn’t their job to make a transaction simpler. First making me download the app just to grab the tickets is simply annoying. Every other ticket purchase site can let you do it without having to download the app. I was annoyed, but I did it nonetheless. After that I had to verify my email phone number multiple times. and then they told me that I would be able to transfer my tickets to either a phone number or the email address of my choice. I tried doing that, but they keep saying that something went wrong on their end. frustrated I tried to contact their customer service. I didn’t get a follow up in a timely manner. and when I did get the follow up, they told me to I have to disable the Wi-Fi or VPN should be disabled .If that did not work, I have to reinstall the app. I was like are you kidding me? Even after doing that, I could still not transfer my tickets to my phone. Now I cant even get a refund. If I ever have to use your service again to go to any shows, even if this was like my dream show, I would rather not go to that show.
Zero stars !!! In February 2024, I bought tickets to a Bret Michaels Band concert for a Las Vegas show and because it was a special anniversary for my husband and I (our 5th wedding anniversary plus our anniversary is also Bret’s birthday (3/15) and the concert was the day after(3/16)). I also paid for the additional commemorative tickets. Since I am an international customer, the email as well as when I was ordering the tickets online said I would pick them up at the box office. When I got to the box office I was told they don’t have any tickets and never do and that this is an issue with AXS failing continuously to deliver these commemorative tickets. I have emailed AXS, tried to chat message and get no response. I hear the commemorative tickets are really nice from others in the US that had theirs mailed. I’ll continue leaving an honest negative review on AXS everywhere I can until this is rectified. **PLEASE NOTE** this has nothing to do with Bret Michaels nor Bret Michaels band, only AXS for their failure to provide what I paid for. Bret Michaels Band always provides the BEST shows and all the members of the band are so personable and always willing to take pics and chat with you before and after the shows.
This app is absolute trash and i implore any venue considering to use them as their third party ticketing app (Billy Bobs Texas) to reconsider. I purchased tickets and created an account using my Facebook. I follow all of the prompts and when i am finally signed in it tell me i must “verify my email” and when i click on the link i get a message “oops something went wrong, try again later”. I have been trying to get access to my tickets for 3 days i have chatted with three different “customer support” individuals and after explaining this very issue i received the response “have you downloaded the AXS app and login with your email”. I have created multiple reports and have received only that they have forwarded to their support team and have received nothing since. The concert is in less than 24 hours and their only resolution so far is “you have digital tickets so you can use your card and an ID to enter the venue”...yeah right and have them refuse me at the door. I do not understand where the difficulties lie in this process and am very unhappy with this service. I should have used the print at home option but this was the “recommended” option. I will NEVER try to get tickets thru these frauds again. Extremely disappointed. AWFUL!!
On the 4th of July I purchased a ticket for an event. The app told me transaction failed, so I put in another card. That one went through but then 15 minutes later it had showed that 2 tickets were in my account as if that first failed one ended up going through. I called immediately after seeing that (and this was still before the event) to get a refund because I only needed 1 but because it was 4th of July they were closed. Called the next day and talked to a representative and she had put a request for a refund, later come to find out that because I wasn’t able to get in touch with a representative before the event, they couldn’t issue me a refund… but they were closed on the day of the event. So how is it my fault that not only did your system fail then somehow process a transaction, but also were closed on that day so I wasn’t able to speak to them. Also the event stopped and headliner only played a song before a storm came. So not only did I not get my refund but didn’t get to see the artist. As a veteran, thank you for ruining my 4th of July. I have a big social media following on Facebook and Snapchat and will be sure to share my story.
I’ve never had such a terrible purchasing experience. The biggest issue was that I had no ability to toggle between sections to see available seats and had to start the entire process over each time I want to view seats in another area. I could see the option was there to move sections within the seating view but it did not work. Several times I had tickets in my cart to purchase, only to be given an error message that my session had timed out and was taken to the beginning of the process once again. I think I was sent back to the beginning at least 25 times in my endeavor to purchase tickets. I eventually tried to switch to the web browser but it never loaded. Did I eventually get my tickets? Yes, which seems to be more than some people have experienced. But I ended up paying more for them because the ones I wanted were gone by the time I was able to finally purchase. With the amount of terrible reviews on this app for years, you would think something would change but the system seems to be as bad today as it was 4 years ago. If I could give zero stars, I would.
When I went to purchase tickets off this site, I was informed that the ticket sale didn’t go through so I proceeded to look for other seats and was able to get those. The next day when I went to check the account I noticed that both sets of tickets went through. I then called their customer service and was told they’d follow up. Well a day goes by and I haven’t received an update so I call again. After a several minutes of discussing what happened with the customer service rep, I was hung up on. I then immediately called back and explain that I was hung up on and would like to speak to a manager. They said they couldn’t do that and didn’t show any sympathy at all. This customer service rep did say he would speak to his manager and get back to me shortly. I requested a phone call back from the manager and he said okay. A couple hours later I received the most cookie cutter email from a manager saying that they can’t do anything about a refund and that includes the service fees. If they didn’t control the market at a certain stadium, I would never use them. Most disrespectful company I have ever dealt with.
I had bought three concert tickets this morning unbeknownst to me the website had charged me an additional three tickets including the ones I had already purchased the first time around. So I had paid $181 including the $181 for the three tickets I bought the first time (the ones I did not want) When you are on the final page of this website they will ask you if you want something called ticket protection which is basically an insurance if something goes wrong your tickets are protected. Their website did not inform me I would be charged $25 for this service. This charge is per ticket (s) If you are looking to sell your tickets on their app DONT. They will charge you $18 and keep a certain percentage of the sale. Don’t even get me started on their customer service. No contact number just an auto chat which is completely useless. They gave me a # that wasn’t even verifiable. Lastly, when I was on the final page getting ready to complete my purchase, there is a pop up window for ads that promise free things do not click on this. Exit out Of the window immediately. This is how I was tricked into buying more tickets. I was not aware I had already completed my purchase and was charged $181. So naturally I assumed the ad closed my window browser and did not complete my purchase. Nope. Looked on my bank statement sure enough I was charged $181 twice three tickets I did not intend to buy. These tickets are non refundable so I am out $200…. What a waste.
They trully live up to their name and will ax you and slaughter you. This is the second time I had to deal with AXS and both times I had bad experience. The first time, was for. Joel Osteen event couple years ago when I paid with my credit card and I bought 2 extra tickets for my son and his friend, but they could not attend. AXS could Not reimburse me due to I did Not want to provide them with my bank account routing and checking # which I consider DANGEROUS for my financial security since the bank info can be stolen and my account emptied from all cash. WHY can’t they just refund my credit card and WHY is it they don’t want my cr card #? My account w AXS shows The second time around, my experience was even WORSE - I purchased 2 tickets for Joseph Prince in Dallas for Oct 2019 for a total $42+ dollars and then could Not attend. To sell the tickets on the AXS app (No option for refund or credit) - I was FORCED by the app to set my sale price at $10/each which is the AXS price for their GA ticket. Thus, if anyone wants to buy a ticket - there is No reason they would want to buy my resale ticket when they can get a “brand new” ticket from AXS.
Never once, *literally* not one time, in the MANY years of being forced to buy tickets from this company, have I had a smooth ticket buying experience. They are basically the monopoly, so they know they can get away with being trash. The app and website don’t mirror each other when it comes to functionality, for example: an artist sends you a pre-sale email, it’ll take you to the mobile website (no option to “open the app”), yet the mobile website is complete trash because they want you to use the app - but the app doesn’t open the link for the specific pre-sale page. This is just skimming the surface of the problems within this god awful company. The fees are outrageous (and never stop rising), they pretend to be against scalping, yet actively support it with their second hand ticket market, the app and mobile site are both full of bugs that have gone unfixed for years, they won’t remember your password and will make you reset it constantly, even when it was correct to begin with (which is a real fun time when trying to beat the cart-clock).
Both app and website stall and never open needed pages
Please get some designers or UX researchers to research how customers utilize this app. I am a UX designer and I’ve had to re-log into the app when I’ve already been logged in multiple times, so I went to the browser on my phone and it never logged me in even though I sat there waiting. When I tried to sell my tickets on the app, the request would constantly time out. My internet connection is fine and I can connect to anything else I need to connect to. The issue is the app and website. There are multiple axs websites which is not made clear by the content of each page, so I tried logging into what I thought was the AXS customer website (assuming the others were for vendors or artists) with no clear indication I was at a different website. The visual hierarchy needs to be improved and so does the messaging and branding. I only use AXS because I am forced to for certain shows that I want to see. Please fix all the bugs and the poor, poor UX. AXS to me feels very unreliable and untrustworthy because of all the reasons I listed above.
tl:dr - Crashy app. Save your emailed tickets. Hour long customer service wait with no live person interaction. The app keeps crashing right now every time I tap the menu bar. Have had a variety of other problems in the past, particularly with tickets not displaying. I go to at least 10 shows a year, not necessarily all through axs, but probably a fair split or slight majority. Save the pdf email that comes with tickets attached, as that email bailed me out a couple of times after other encounters with their poorly working app. Speaking of poor service, called the customer service number, took several minutes just to get through the automated prompts, then waited for an “operator”. And waited. And waited. After several more minutes, I thought hmm, I’m just going to put my phone on speaker, do a little work on my laptop, and set a timer to start truly counting the minutes. I got to an HOUR solid, no kidding, without EVER getting a live person on the phone. And that was after the minutes that passed by before I actually set the timer. Boooooo Axs. How you have this market largely cornered is beyond me.
For the past three days I’ve been trying to purchase resale tickets and get the message “Whoops!” when it tries to process my credit card number. I’ve called customer service and they were extremely arrogant and unwilling to REALLY listen to me and what I’ve been experiencing. I tried the AXS app on my Apple iPhone and on my laptop computer. I tried using different credit cards and still couldn’t purchase tickets. I looked at complaints on the internet and MANY customers are experiencing the exact same issues - they can’t purchase tickets. If I weee someone with resale tickets I would be appalled because AXS is not providing a platform that’s dependable and working. People are going to eat their ticket costs because people who want to purchase resale tickets can’t. This is AXS’s business yet it’s totally dis-functional as a ticket platform. I’m trying to purchase $360 tickets and can’t. Unbelievable! Whoever’s running this company should be embarrassed beyond belief. As a retired CFO, I have never seen a more poorly run digital marketing platform.
I would give this app no stars if i could. do not use this app to sell tickets. The absolute worst and most unprofessional app i have ever used. Their customer service is also by far the worst i have EVER experienced. I was on hold for over an hour and one of their representatives hung up on me so i emailed them and then called back immediately after and was on hold for yet another hour. The email response i got didn’t answer a single question of mine so i sent a response asking for them to actually answer the question that concerned me and they neglected to respond. Save your time, use a different app. They also neglect to send you confirmation emails so you have no idea what is going on with your tickets when you buy them and when you sell them. UPDATE: received a developer response that pretty much blamed me for their negligence. I checked every folder in my email because i assumes that for sure they would be more professional then that, but again, I received no confirmation email and then my intelligence and common sense was questioned by the developer because of their negligence, again, DO NOT USE THIS PLATFORM.
Our team was in Vegas for a soccer tournament over MLK weekend. I saw a large section of $30 tickets in the mezzanine for a David Blaine show, which was a great price point since every family doesn’t operate on the same budget. We needed 20 tickets. The max ticket purchase was 12 tickets; I completely get it from an anti-scalping perspective. To buy more than 12 tickets, you have to email AXS (no phone number). I had no idea what the turnaround on emails would be given it was the night before the show. So I buy 12 tickets at $30, and I presumed that my wife would be able to buy the other 8 tickets on her phone for the same price. Nope. The moment my purchase completed, the surrounding tickets jumped from $30 to $69! We emailed AXS, and their only response was the “sale” was over. There was no mention of a “sale” on the site. They claimed that it ended at a specific time, but it’s not a coincidence that the “specific time” was immediately after our purchase. Ultimately, a few teammates were priced out, so we had an incomplete team outing. Thanks for being so shady AXS!
If I could give it zero stars I would. I try to stay away from events that use this method to deliver tickets to concerts. I was sold fraudulent tickets to a concert that I flew to Vegas for from Houston only to be told that I had NO tickets in the app. I tried calling customer service and their convenient hours of operation were closed. I had an email from AXS saying that tickets were being transferred but nothing in the app. I had to buy tickets at the box office for an almost sold out concert… nose bleed section cost me over $700. This is my 2nd time and my cousin is transferring tickets to my account and it’s been 2 days and I have nothing in my app. I got the email saying that tickets were transferred but I got nothing in the app. I submitted a ticket to customer service and it has been 3 days and I have no response. The chat is automated so I don’t speak to real people just AI robots. My event is in 2 days. Hopefully I can resolve something soon. I will try their customer service phone number again. Good luck everyone. Did I mention I HATE this app and their service.
Forced to download just to access what I already paid for
Just an insulting and obscenely bad customer experience that the folks at AXS should be ashamed of. After already spending hundreds of dollars on tickets (around $150 of which was convenience fees for the awesome and futuristic privilege of using a credit card online!), and obviously selecting mobile ticket delivery justifiably assuming that i would be emailed a ticket I could add to my Apple wallet, I instead find I am forced to download a buggy app with questionable security to access the tickets I just spent $400 on. And not only that: you can't even add the tickets to your Apple wallet after you've downloaded this sick joke of an app. Even Ticketmaster will let you do that - and will even let you access through a browser! If Ticketmaster is doing customer experience better than you, you have a real problem. Deleting this as soon as I'm done being forced to use it to access my own tickets and then never purchasing anything through AXS again. This is a completely out of touch person's idea of CX.
Ok originally I gave this app 1 star and decided to upgrade to 2... I purchased my tickets on the Tick Pick app and then received an email saying I had to download this app to get them. Downloaded the app... no tickets. There was a message saying if I don’t see my tickets to “verify my email”. Clicked the verify button “oops something went wrong”. I tried this for a couple days until I decided to email support. I received an email back immediately letting me know they received my request. Then I heard nothing else from support. Call me impatient but when I pay hundreds of dollars for tickets I expect to receive them with no problems. Something told me to go on the actual website. Went online and I saw that my tickets were available but I still didn’t see an actual ticket. I went back to the app and they were there. I figured this out all on my own no thanks to their “support “ team. I will continue checking the app to make sure my tickets remain and if I have no more problems maybe I’ll upgrade this app to 3 stars.
I purchased tickets recently and was having trouble seeing them in my queue got really nervous because these are out-of-state event tickets and I needed to book flights and hotel. After 24 hours of worrying I called the 800 number which I found online. and someone actually answered the phone a real live person within 60 seconds. I was very impressed and will continue to do business with AXS. The gal that helped me out was very quick and found that it was actually a mistake I made on my email lettering missed one letter, but she found my ticket purchase and was able to correct the problem within less than a few minutes. Happy with the customer service😃
Garbage app, doesn’t work with WiFi or VPN, NOT user friendly
On top of the app not working with WiFi or VPN, the layout of the app is not user friendly. My tickets couldn’t be found because they weren’t where the instructions said they would be. And btw, most people would look for tickets under “order history” because that makes sense (I ordered the tickets, and it was done in the past, so that would make it “historical”). I had to call customer service and deal with a rude representative who kept talking over me telling me everything I already mentioned to her in the initial stages of the phone call. After a few minutes, she was able to walk me through where I could find the tickets. Would it not make sense to make finding tickets on the app easy and effortless without having to go through the tech issue checklist and calling customer service to only have to deal with someone’s attitude for no reason? AXS app developers need a good talking to. Retrieving purchased tickets shouldn’t be this difficult.
I’ve purchased tickets for years from multiple ticket sellers, both original and resale and have never had an issue until now. I tried buying tickets on the website, got an error with payment. The tickets I had tried purchasing were gone, but then appeared later so I tried purchasing from the website but on a computer instead of my phone - still received an error. Did the AXS live chat and they suggested to use the app and I tried again - still got an error. Asked again in the AXS live chat and they said to use the app, but not have it connected to wifi or VPN… odd but I tried again and it still didn’t work. The AXS live chat recommended I call customer support, but I gave up after being on hold for an hour. Sent an email about the issues because I ended up with multiple charges going through on my credit card, but no tickets and they were no longer listed. So purchasing through the website and the app doesn’t work - even with all their tips.
I never write negative reviews but this is the worst app I have ever tried to use. I tried to get tickets for a t was in demand… found a couple of good seats and tried to check out. I needed an account. I used my Facebook account, which needed a re-login, but that’s fine. I then had to log into my Facebook account two more times. Then the app froze, so I killed and restarted it. My tickets were gone and there was no shopping cart I could fish them out of.I waited out the presumed five minute reservation period, searched again, and found the same seats. Hooray! But it forgot who I was and told me to create an account again. I linked and logged into Facebook, and then I got a page to verify my account. I did so and the app froze again. So I relaunched, and now I was blessedly logged in, searched for my seats again, somehow got them, and now I am on a checkout page that has no mechanism to check out, no functional buttons at all, and I’m watching my reservation timer dwindle one more time.
Second time using the app to purchase tickets, last time was over a year ago, and still riddled with the same bugs and issues. AXS apparently don’t care about their products as long as they still make money. Purchasing tickets was easy and honestly quick. Afterwords however the same issue of being unable to log into the app, even after resetting password and verifying my device. Now though my confirmation email says I purchased tickets I have no way to access them and can’t print them for whatever reason. Can log into the website fine but once again can’t print tickets so it’s useless. I’m betting the same thing as last time will happen where 5 people till they check my ticket in line it will finally work causing me much anxiety. Having problems such as these with a product you use should warrant a suing. It’s gross that companies get away with pushing out apps that a toddler be taught to make better. 10/10 would actively not recommend anything AXS to anyone.
I attempted to use the AXS site and app to buy tickets to a highly-sought after concert at a smaller venue. I got in line on time and waited for the ticket release time. When I got to the front of the line, AXS forced me to sign in again (after doing so prior to getting in line less than 30 minutes prior), and after I did so, it threw me to the end of the line. When I finally got an opportunity to buy resale tickets (it sold out, obviously), I used the map to find seats. When I went back to view the list of tickets instead of the map view, it again threw me to the end of the line. Very frustrating to use this app and the UI is awful. Not intuitive at all. Hitting back shouldn’t put you at the end of the line, I should still have the opportunity to purchase tickets. I reached out to their customer support team, no reply, then I followed up and still no reply. So not only is their app terrible, but their customer support is incredibly poor. I will be avoiding using AXS whenever I can.
Ordered tickets online. Got an email saying I had to download this app to access my tickets, which I already hate doing. It seems every event uses a different app (seat geek, AXS, stubhub, along with all of the orgs that host their own apps like insomnia… I’ve got 6 or 7 apps on my phone with accounts passwords and email spam from each one… I just want to purchase tickets and receive a barcode. Anyhow, I download the app and have to verify my email address. Sent the email 3 times.. no email. Checked the help website “make sure to add our email to your contacts so emails don’t go to spam” did that, still no email. So now I have to contact customer service which is not available today (Sunday). Thankfully the event isn’t for several weeks so I can find some time during banking hours to stumble through the text based support system and hopefully get the tickets I paid $80 for. Ridiculous and completely unessecary. But judging by the OVERWHELMINGLY negative reviews in the App Store. No one cares.
This app wasted a lot of my time trying to buy tickets. It doesn’t even have a cart or some sort like when something goes wrong, like the app goes into blank screen, in purchasing tickets, and you will have to go through the steps again. Even worse is it holds the seat for a certain number of minutes, which means you will have to wait for it to timeout and release the seats before you can choose the seats again. Although it has a edit payment button when it said something is wrong with the payment that it can’t process, it doesn’t go back to the form to let you modify the information. Finally when I successfully selected the seats and checkout again, it skipped the payment info entering screen and went straight to the screen with submit button. Of course payment couldn’t be processed again. Never been this frustrated just trying to buy tickets, but what can I do because this is the exclusive vendor for the events we wanted to go?
This app is a hassle to get tickets, first off I had to login multiple times and it made me worried that my tickets will not be there. I constantly had to check everyday because it would log me out everyday. I even had to have the app open all throughout waiting in line for the show because I didn’t want it to log me out. Second, the app doesn’t have a history of the event. I would like to see all tickets I have used in the app and have my pasts orders in the past events tab. I went to a concert and it stated that a freebie will be included with the tickets, I never received the freebie and I thought maybe because i used axs instead of Ticketmaster, but why would axs clearly include that statement? So I emailed their support team and I haven’t revived a response. I will not be using this app again, it’s not worth it. I rather print out my tickets or use primary ticket apps. Mind you I used this back in December of 2019 and I’m still having trouble with it (March 2020).
I bought tickets to my favorite band through this company, and treated myself and a friend to VIP meet and greet tickets. The tickets did not say the time of the meet and greet on them, so I called the ticket service and the venue roughly 10 times a week prior to the event. Sent to voicemail every time, no calls back. I show up to the event very early, just in case, and no one at the venue said anything. I assume the meet and greet is after. Dope concert. After the concert I ask a staff member what's up, and they say the meet and greet was before. So not only did they not respond to voicemails/calls after not posting the time, but their staff didn't notify me where and when to go, despite my ticket saying VIP MEET AND GREET in 100 point font. Apparently only 2 people actually made it to the meet and greet that day. I call and ask nicely for a refund of a service they did not provide, and they refused, lying about every detail. I fought the charge on my credit card, and they finally credited me back a full 9 months later. The end.
I bought tickets through Vivid Seats and had to download the AXS app and create an account to get my tickets. Later when I decided I wanted to sell a couple of my tickets I listed them for sale on the AXS app. When I went to search for my tickets on the app to see if they were visible, I realized their app made it really difficult to find tickets. You had to select them from the seating chart without any pricing info. This was frustrating because I wanted to lower the price so they would sell. So I decided to try listing them through other apps, Vivid Seats, and Seat Geek, and found out you can’t list them because they are digital, not downloadable as a PDF. So the tickets I purchased from Vivid Seats were locked in the AXS platform and you can’t sell anywhere else. Comes across as shady, trapping people into a platform they never intended to initiate business with in the first place.
Twice this week my family has tried to transfer tickets from one AXS account to another. My daughter ending up unable to transfer her tickets, so lost over $100. I just needed to transfer tickets to my son, but I kept getting the message that something went wrong, but it turns out the transfer worked, kind of. After several attempts, all the tickets were transferred out of my account t but one didn’t end up in my son’s. After 30 minutes waiting to “chat” (ONLY option available for customer support), they couldn’t help. Gave my son a number to call: 45 minute wait. They said he had 6 tickets ( I only had 5!) they couldn’t figure it out and he had to leave for the show. They told him to go to the “resolution desk”, but didn’t have any idea where that was at Red Rocks. Once there, it was another 40 minute wait (missing one band), before they could get in! I’m going to recommend Red Rocks find another ticket vendor!
I wish that I could give it zero stars and it honestly pains me to give it the one. This review isn’t even going to allow me the amount or words I have to say about this cursed app but here goes, First off it will not verify your email account no matter how many times you try to resend it, so expect to not be attending the show that you paid all your good money for. The main major problem that tipped it off for me was the FALSE ADVERTISING!!! I bought VIP tickets to meet one of my favourite bands and on the tickets it said that I would get to meet them, get a picture, and hang out with them after the show, so after reading that I bought them because I thought it would be worth it if I could get some 101 time with my favourite band but flash forward to the show, AXS used false advertising on their tickets and I only got to take a picture with the band for over $500+ I then filed a lawsuit against the godawful company that is AXS! I WILL NEVER USE THIS APP AGAIN AS LONG AS I SHALL LIVE!
For the love of selling me tickets, please FIX your app! Fix it so I can select the number of tickets I want to purchase. Every time I want to buy tickets for my wife and I , I have to scroll all around T-Mobile Arena looking for 2 seats together I can purchase… make it so I can select 2 tickets together before you show me what’s available. Ticket price selection is far less important to me at the beginning of my search than the number of tickets I want to buy…. I’ve been thinking for about 5 years you would improve your app this way, but still no. Also, guess what… I want it to work when I open it on my same device all the time, not have to login on my same device every other time I open the app. You know it’s my phone; I know you do. My phone scans my face and it know it me too. You’re making a fortune off me in fees every time I buy tickets so please make your app better
WHY DONT THESE SERVICE FEES GO TOWARDS PROVING GOOD SERVICE
Ive finally had it . This app is so frustrating I am going to do something I almost never do and write a review and hope somebody reads it. I’ve had so many issues with this app over the years. Unfortunately to attend events I frequently have to use it . Pages never load, I’ll try to browse tickets for sale but the pages never load. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled many times. It doesn’t help . I check for updates all the time and thinking maybe I need one and there’s a bug fix but nope it just doesn’t work . - i just was clicking on a button that says tickets 25-75 . But when you click no tickets for 25. I wonder why that is . Having to pay an outrageously expensive ”service fee”. after getting through the obstacle course of technical deficiencies is absurd. Calling the 1-800 number for customer service and having to hold for an hr or have them be closed is absurd. WHY DONT THESE SERVICE FEES GO TOWARDS PROVING GOOD SERVICE
I will admit, I do not write reviews very often, but I was compelled to do one for this app after my experience with it. The overall app is fairly nice, but there is a massive problem with it. I noticed that immediately after installing it, my battery life on a daily basis dropped significantly. I never opened the app after the first day that I used it, yet my phone would die half way through the day, when it would normally be fine until bed time. A couple of weeks went by wondering what was going on and double checking all apps were closed for a full day, yet the phone was dead by mid day. I uninstalled the AXS app because it was the most recent app I had installed. Wouldn’t you know, battery life went back to normal. I had all notifications turned off and ensured it was not running, yet for some reason it was sucking down the battery. I would not recommend using this app until they find a way to reduce its resource drain.
Months ago (February 2024) I purchased tickets to a concert. I did exactly as told and downloaded the app. This experience had it’s own headaches. Eventually I had the app and an account. Interestingly enough every time I go to my account it has no history of my tickets being purchased. So I waited, then yesterday (September 8th) I received the email stating that my tickets have been sent to my account. So I went to view them the morning after receiving that email. Still there is no purchase history and no tickets in my account. And yes I did use the same email. Even more frustrating than anything is I can’t talk to an ACTUAL PERSON to help me get my tickets. Honestly I’m very frustrated and worried that I won’t be able to retrieve my tickets before the event in 19 days. I would never recommend this app to anyone. Honestly I wish for the days where I could just receive my tickets in the mail. Super frustrating!!!!
Never got my money transferred after selling a ticket
I tried multiple times to transfer the amount that I got from a ticket that I sold on this app, but I continuously have to keep transferring it because the stupid system won’t transfer my money. I contacted the support team and they keep repeating theirselves, and when I went back on the app to check the money was back in my sales balance and my bank account was removed. I had to add my bank account AGAIN and transfer and when I tried, it said the first transfer hasn’t cleared but it’s been almost a month and I still haven’t gotten the money transferred to my bank and now I have to add my bank info yet again and redo the same stupid routine I have to do with this app, I been trying to transfer my money to my bank after selling a ticket and still haven’t gotten it yet, I’ve waited almost a month and it says 10-14 business days to transfer yet I have to transfer it again. This is horrible, such a terrible app
I purchased three tickets for friends to go to the Joyner Lucas concert. Two of the ticket were bought together and the other was bought separately. I tried to shared all three tickets through the app and neither party was able to revive them. The email sharing the tickets never went through. Then I had to send the PDF tickets to my friends. The first two friend got in no problem with the PDFs, but my third friend was denied at the door because they said the ticket barcode was expired. I got on the phone with AXS customer service, per the venues recommendation, and had them send a new barcode directly to my friend at the venue. He never received the email. I finally had to send him a picture of my ID so they could look up the ticket to print for him. It seems like nothing on this app worked! I buy tickets on other companies and never have problems like this. This is my friend time buying through AXS for other people and I’m not sure I would use them again.
I had a simple question today because the confirmation email for the tickets I purchased stated that transfer is not available for this event. The app indicated that transfer would be available a week before the concert. I wanted to make sure since the tickets were a gift for my nieces in another state. I spent 45 minutes on the app’s chat area and kept answering the initial questions but kept getting knocked off to the back of the queu again with all the info I provided erased. I then called the customer support phone number and got a condescending rep who told me that it should have been clear to me that transfer is not available for this event means right now. He talked over me, wouldn’t listen, argued with me and was really rude. Then, when I called again and waited for a half hour, the rep disconnected the call, saying she didn’t hear me before I had a chance to say anything. What is going on with this company?
