Brown Paper TicketsReviews 124

Stopped buying from other online ticket sites since I started using this app. They still charge you on top of the actual ticket price but their rates are lower.

Needed a refund for a cancelled event and it didn't take long for them to process. They delivered as they promised they would – on the dot. Will buy again when the event pushes through.

It was my first time buying tickets and it only took me minutes. No glitches and no problems, whatsoever.

It has been a wonderful experience collaborating with BPT for our recent event. Trustworthy partner that's very good at handling money. With their services, both on and offline, I felt we got a bigger share of the deal!

I agree with the other reviewer, who said that she would give ZERO stars, if that were an option. We are a small start-up theatre company serving children and youth. Our event ended 30 days ago, and Brown Paper Tickets is still refusing to disburse our funds. Their phone system is shut down. I have sent seven separate e-mails, only one of which has received anything more than an automated response. They cite "covid-related delays" as the cause for this problem. This makes no sense. Theatres are up and running. Pay-outs are done electronically, which means that they can be handled remotely. Brown Paper Tickets had no problem taking our money; they only seem to be suddenly stricken with Covid when it's time to disburse funds to their customers. As a small start-up, I have absolutely no recourse for this. All I can do is take my future business elsewhere and warn others. NEVER, EVER USE BROWN PAPER TICKETS! I am absolutely at my wit's end. It is very unnerving to have a company withholding your own money from you. I am irate.

I used to use BPT for a small monthly event several years ago. I had a good experience with customer support and used that experience to recommend BPT to a family member starting a new business and selling tickets to events. My family member and his business partner hosted events 3 times a week for 4 weeks starting in June and they have not received a single payment. This is a new business struggling to get off the ground and BPT owes them almost $20k. I am so frustrated and angry. Please beware when doing business with BPT.

Yes, a strong word. But well-deserved.
Brooklyn Tavern Theater used Brown Paper Tickets in February 2020 for ticketing for our musical, which ended just before the pandemic began. We sold $2640 in tickets through BPT and they sent me checks totaling that amount. But in early March, I received an email saying that these checks could not be cashed. It was a rough time, March 2020, and understandably with all the cancelled events, their income suddenly dried up. I could understand and waited patiently for payment. At least, for the first 6 months or so. It has now been 2 1/2 years. There is no doubt about the debt—I have the uncashed checks still in my possession. As a side note: my experience with them prior to the pandemic was nothing but pleasant. Apparently a crisis can bring out one's true colors. Read the following before using BPT:
1). They have not ONCE answered my emails with anything more than a mass email and have been unreachable by phone.
2). They have RESUMED business. Apparently our $2640 helped them do this. Why should you assume they will pay you if anything goes wrong.
3). The state of Washington (where their main office is) filed a suit against BPT and the settlement in March 2021 required BPT to contact and pay all businesses and individuals who are owed money, both inside and outside Washington State. There has been no attempt to contact me.
4). Should BPT be allowed to continue on using $2640 of our money (and who knows how much more from others) to sustain themselves while doing business. Is this an indefinite unauthorized loan they are using? We can't let companies do this. They should have to pay us back first by obtaining a loan (for which they will have to pay interest). That's how things work for everyone else. What they are doing is wrong, arrogant and I highly encourage everyone to look elsewhere for your ticket needs.

We've had a great experience, we have used them for 3 events now and their website is easy use and the staff member I contacted was friendly and helpful!

Tried them to get concert tickets and couldn't believe their prices – they were incredibly low! And we got our tickets right after payment. Didn't require much effort on my part at all! Now I know what to do the next time I want to watch a concert again.

BEWARE BEFORE YOU USE BROWN PAPER TICKETS!
Do yourself a favor. If you are a event producer do not use this company! They still owe our organization of $5,000 from the pandemic. Instead of paying us out that have been holding our money hostage along with many other theater groups!

It's easy to create events and sell tickets. There is an option for physical tickets. BPT also provides event promotion and reporting tools.

Awesome website to help me find the event I need! Lots of filters that allow me to find free and discounted tickets for the exact type of event I'm looking for.

Once I had to return my tickets and contacted their customer service reps for help. They have professional and friendly folks who will walk the extra mile to be helpful!

It's a convenient platform to create events and sell tickets. I have a small business, and I regularly organize meetings and webinars. BPT has given me a sense of relief; I know that everything will go smoothly with selling tickets, so I can concentrate on the more important stuff.

I travel a lot and use BPT to learn about the events I'm interested in. Their website is easy to use. I save a lot because they offer the option of finding free or discounted events. The customer service folks are friendly and supportive. I requested a refund twice, and received them without delay.

Satisfied with the ease and efficiency of the ticket ordering process. It was really simple and I am looking forward to buying from them again.

Affordable, valuable, and quality services! They have saved us money, time and precious nerves. The customer service folks are easy to reach and always willing to help out.

It's my second time buying tickets. Simple and secure. I have no problems buying tickets here. Highly recommended!

It's been over a year since I started my cooperation with BPT. They've been a lifesaver for my small business. I no longer worry about selling tickets. No set-up fess and no hassle with long-term contracts. Another great option is that they enable us to collect donations aside from ticket sales.

It was so easy! One time the concert got rescheduled but they informed me about it. Definitely buying tickets from here again.

This is the absolute most disgraceful company. DO NOT USE THEM!
We did 3 shows in 2020 and still have not gotten paid.
No one will respond or speak to us.
