“Do not buy tickets from them!”

Katja S.
5/3/24

Lousy. They don't worn you how common it is that the games are re-scheduled and no return or compensation policy, even they have not even delivered the tickets; that happen only 1-2 days prio the match! " We received your request to cancel the order. According to our Terms and Conditions, no cancellation is possible. The seller like the club is not cancelling the paid and confirmed orders.We regret but no cancellation is possible at this stage. Tickets will be delivered as ordered."

“Appaling Seats; shocking correspondence”

Andrew S.
6/21/24

Bought tickets from New Zealand, in 2023 for a game in Rome in 2024. No tickets arrived until about 2 days before the match - which was worrying as we were en route by then. FootballTicketNet advised by email the day before not mention them if we were questioned about the tickets, instead to say "they were given to us by a friend". This was equally worrying. When we arrived, no one questioned them - but they were appalling seats. Right behind a glass panel and several steel bars; I had not paid for obstructed view seats. We also discovered that the €115 (each!) that we paid for tickets was significantly higher than a local would have paid. (I was quoted about €50 for a much better area of the stand) I strongly recommend not using this site. Instead, contact a club directly, if you can.

They advertise that you can buy electronic tickets and then you are advised that the tickets have to be delivered and that you may not get them until the day of the game. When you try and get money back they will not reimburse. Review all the negative reviews across sites this happens to a lot of people. You will lose your money and you will not have a ticket for the day and in many cases they get a ticket but then it does not work to get you into the game. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY.

Tip for consumers:
The company sells electronic tickets separately from paper tickets and even charge more for this, but there are no electronic tickets and then they insist on an address to deliver the tickets to and advise that it may not happen until the day of the game. So many reviews about this happening to people

Products used:
purchased electronic tickets for a game in madrid to be told can only be delivered and may not happen until the day.

Bought 3 tickets for Euro 2024 (France - Belgium). Tickets were 'guaranteed up to 4 seats together'. Finally received the tickets the day before the game, turned out 2 of the seats were together and the third in a completely different block. Immediately contacted them, but no response from them whatsoever. I had to sell the tickets to a least recover some of the money that I spent, because their service fees are absolutely through the roof. Right before the game starts they contacted me to send the tickets back to them to see if they could provide me with new tickets. Since the tickets were sold because they provided no assistance at all, I could not send the tickets back and now they are claiming that I 'refused their assistance' because I sold the tickets. I didn't ask for a full refund, just a refund of their service fee (€225 for 3 tickets!) because they did not provide the correct tickets, but in every email they send me they are basically laughing in my face.

Absolutely vile, criminal organization. Avoid at all cost!

Purchased 2 VIP tickets for the Real Madrid vs RB Leipzig match on 06/03/2024.

However, we were declined entry, because of cancelled or fake tickets.
We contacted support, of course and they cannot help and tried to offer us another tickets, but it was very late and without guarantee that the new tickets would give us access to the match.

We asked for an immediate full refund, but they sent us several emails, like we will check and so on, so on.
Unfortunately, they didn't answer until now.

Fraud! I got a ticket that didn't work. Stewards in the stadium said "it's fake". And I didn't get a refund for it. They just stoped communication. Cheaters!

I purchased 5 lower longside (near the pitch/playing field) tickets to an English premier league game five months in advance. The tickets were delivered about 23 hours before the game. They were completely different - upper seats behind the goal. I complained and was told that these seats (and included access to hospitality suite) were better than the ones I originally purchased.
At the time of purchase the tickets I chose were more expensive than the ones I received. Between the time I purchased and received the tickets, the Liverpool manager had announced his departure and the price of tickets skyrocketed. I did not get the seats I paid for.

Read all the negetive reviews here, I was very concerned if I will get my tickets or if they will be Vaild or not. I got my tickets 1 day before the FA cup semifinal Man city vs Chelsea. Had no problem with it. I would recommend getting only E tickets. Price is quite high as well.

I was scammed, I could not get into the tickets I bought for the Brenford game. Neither of the 2 tickets worked at the box office, an error appeared making a queue and the stadium staff had to intervene, they asked where we got the tickets from. The salesman stopped writing me back, I will not leave the matter like this, I feel strongly cheated by football ticket, I do not recommend to anyone. If you do not want to have stress then do not buy from them.

Tip for consumers:
I feel cheated, I could not enter the game,the company does not oidpisuje on the complaint

Be wary of this website as they sell illegal tickets and when you cant use them at the stadium, they will come up with all sorts of excuses not to refund your money. Luckily i purchased the cheapest ticket for the Arsenal Liverpool FA Cup game on 7 Jan 2024 at £99 and true enough could not gain access to the stadium. My mistake also for not reading the reviews posted here before booking the ticket. Pls be forewarned.

Bought 2 premier league soccer tickets on Oct 7 for an Oct 8 match. Never received order confirm or tickets. Provided 2 email addresses. After several long holds, online chats, and customer service discussion with at least 5 different reps - issue never resolved. Disputing charge now. Do yourself a favor and buy from a reputable firm NOT FootballTicketNet

I ordered ticket for the away fans section, Crystal Palace v Arsenal. They sent me home fans "hospitality" tickets, claiming they were more expensive and won't refund me since it's an "upgrade".

I was only interested in the away fans section. I had to cancel my whole trip, as the price for away seats had gone way up on other sites since I first ordered.

They ruined my summer vacation, and didn't even try to help. Please stay away! I have ordered on other websites before without fail, and this is the first real scam site I have come across.

We bought Manu/Newcastle tickets for Dec 26. We live in Canada and when the date changed for the match, we could no longer attend, we have to fly home. Instead of doing the right thing and re selling our tickets (which they could and make more money) they offered us 50% of our money back. That is criminal... DO NOT use them... The guy on the phone actually suggested that we change our flights...

Hi, my name is Ben.

Last month i bought 8 tickets for me and my family to a champions league match in madrid. The service we got was great, and the seats were even better.

Would recommend footballticketnet.com any day...

We paid approx $500 for an FC Barcelona game and were guaranteed seats together via email. Instead, FootballTicketNet booked seats with consecutive numbers but in different sections. This was confirmed by two staff members at the stadium when they forced my girlfriend to move. When we complained to FootballTicketNet, their customer service rep (Max) stated that we were mistaken instead of taking accountability and refunding us. Shameful. Avoid booking with this company.

Warning. Warning. Stay away from this company. We bought 4 x tickets to 149 pound piece and got tickets for 55 pounds apiece. So stay away. So we could say goodbye to 400 pounds.
They guarantee seats couple of ways. It was also correct in the first case. My son aged 9 years had to sit with a man he does not know.

First off I must say the service from this web page alternates between neglect and intense focus. I was able to buy tickets to Arsenal v Sunderland, and the tickets were amazing but until I got the electronic version I was on edge wondering when I would get them. If you order more than a week in advance you should be fine. They do what they can, given how difficult it can be to obtain tickets and the prices are relatively fair. As a note prices can fluctuate with time, so keep that in mind when purchasing.

The tickets are legitimate, any issues that could exist are a result of the flexibility of football scheduling and policies that the website could not foresee.

I would wish that they give you the option of reselling the tickets to them so that you could cancel your order and have the possibility of a refund.

I needed to purchase tickets for myself and three of my friends to attend two games in London and Barcelona. I did some searches on google and came across footballticketnet. Although the website did not have the best reviews, I decided to give it a shot. I gotta say that I was really really really impressed. They delivered the tickets right on time. They always picked up the phone and answered my emails whenever I had a problem. Yes they are a bit pricey but given the service they provide, it is worth it.

I have twice been let down by this company and had one good experience. I flew all the way from Sydney to Madrid (at great expense of time and money) on the basis that I had purchased a ticket through Football Ticket Net. On arrival they informed me there was no ticket. The money was refunded but the promised compensation has never been paid.
For a different game, at Wembley, I was told to meet someone at the stadium - they arrived late and the "ticket" had already been used so I could not get in. These are "once in a lifetime memories" destroyed by unreliability, delayed delivery and promising things they don't have. Even my good experience (Istanbul derby) was nerve wracking as the ticket was only delivered on the day of the match and I had no idea if it would arrive.

I purchased four tickets for Man Utd V Fulham 9th Feb 2014. I am sorry I read any reviews about football ticket net as they all had me up the walls and was expecting the worst. I need not have worried as tickets arrived in our hotel the night before game as promised and seats were in Alex Fergusson stand. The only problem I had with ticket net was trying to get them on phone. Like a lot of businesses today email is how it is done. All emails were answered quickly. Tickets were a bit pricey but it was the only way I was going to get tickets. I would use the services of football ticket net again. Experience would have been a lot better if Man utd had won.

So I looked at all the different websites for buying tickets for the Euros as the official channels let me down and I went with FootballTicketNet. Ended up paying 5 times the face value on the ticket and probably 3 times from when I applied on the official Irish FA portal. Some of the reviews filled me with a lot of fear but I decided to take the gamble. They kept me well informed throughout the process and the tickets (Ireland v Belgium) at Bordeaux were delivered to my hotel a week early. Tickets were genuine and no issue except I should have probably specified which end I wanted to be in. I would use them again if I was in the same position.
