This is an awful company! They allow tickets to be listed for resale that sellers don't even have yet. Stay far away from these guys and use Stubhub. 15 years with Stubhub and never a problem. Used Gametime ONE time and they screwed me!

Purchased tickets for a family holiday experience six weeks ago. I checked in several over the last six weeks to make sure everything was secure since holiday plans are potential memories in the making and budgets and calendars are tight. Couldn't afford a misstep. And then, on the day of the show, gametime "hit a snag with the seller." They'd taken my $ six weeks ago, and despite my regular check-ins, they still broke the promise. I was offered inferior seats, some of the worst in the venue, but that's not what I paid for. And I planned far enough ahead to have good seats. Not sure how or why I would trust them again.

Never Again!
December 26, 2024

Tickets I purchased from Game Time came out INVALID during the event resulting for us to repurchase new tickets at the event center. They denied my claim and did not offer any resolution. They do not take responsibility at all stating they are " third-party ticket marketplace that does not have ticket inventory, and as soon as they transfer it to the ticketing link to be delivered to your phone/account that no one could access it. Well obviously that is a big fat lie! Because from the event center investigation, our tickets were resold to other customers! It is incredibly frustrating because of the inconvenience
And delay it has caused plus now the time consumed calling/emailing a complaint to NO AVAIL! I lost $502 but I wish they will lose business from being a scam!

Hope destroyers
October 25, 2024

We purchased tickets with the app and by morning received a msg stating the tickets could not be delivered for a show the 10/25 show (we did not purchase anything for 10/25).I then received a msg that the ones purchased for 10/26 could not be delivered. I called as I didn't understand how you can sell tickets that you do not have. They explained it was the seller and they are only a 3rd party. So basically they allow people to screw people over and take no blame. They said they looked to see if there was tickets the could provide us to "make up" for it and said there was none... there were still tickets for sell in the same exact section of the stadium they just cost more. This seems rather standard practice based on a lot of the reviews i have read on different sites. I wish i would have done more research before my wife and daughter got there hopes up.

I wouldn't even give this group one star if possible. Purchased tickets in April for a football game. We may not be able to attend so I wanted to sell the tickets, or at least list them. Gametime would not sell the tickets, because the say tickets will not be available until 24-72 prior to the game. Yet they sold me these tickets in April.
I asked them to contact the original owner of the tickets, I was told he was aware of the sale. Which doesn't help me at all.

We've been to two NFL games this year and had tickets in hand months before the game.

I would avoid this group at all cost.

Tickets not delivered. Suggested I got to the concert and when it starts if I still don't have tickets to call and I'll get other tickets or a refund. So, drive to the concert, pay to park, wait and see if you get tickets.they are thief's.

Never again!
September 26, 2024

I chose 2 seats to a concert at Madison Square Garden. The seats were costly but I wanted to attend the show. Once purchased they then sent me the seat information which WAS NOT what I had selected The seats they gave me were behind the stage! I paid almost $700 for this! I immediately reached out to game time. Ultimately they would not correct the issue even though I snap shot the seats I had picked before confirming purchase. They would not refund me either. I fought with my credit card company which I had also contacted immediately. Bottom line I had to pay for the tickets and I never attended the show! I thought if I didn't attend maybe it would give me some leverage to get refund but it didn't. I will never buy from game time again and I urge anyone reading this to stay away from this site! 😬

Gametime bad experience
September 29, 2024

Hello,

Horrible experience, seems like everyone I spoke to was clueless to how to resolve the issue and at the end I didn't receive my concert tickets which I paid $1,104. I missed work, booked hotel and drove 7 hrs and everything else that I spent on meals all for nothing when Gametime said to go to box office and I would get my tickets which that was not true.
Box office at Vegas sphere said tickets where under someone else's name and that person needs to be present to get tickets. My daughter and I missed the concert. I called Gametime to let them know, I sent pictures of proof that I didn't get my tickets transferred to Ticketmaster nor email and investigation would get resolved in 14 days when I had already contacted Gametime 2 weeks prior the concert day and they never resolved they waited till day of concert 30 min to concert to say it will be investigated and will be resolved in 14 days unbelievable this should've been handled immediately. So unprofessional. I did already several reviews on different websites with my bad experience and also with BBB because GaneTime should have trained customer service representatives to resolve issues immediately but all were clueless or gave me wrong information.

I will never use Gametime again. Spent $1,000 on tickets. Received a confirmation at 11:00am that tickets were purchased and would receive an email to download them. Well I never received the download email. When I called to ask where my tickets were they said I downloaded the tickets and then resent them to myself. Since I did that they couldn't resend me link. Good excuse there but Why would download and resend to myself. I do not have one other email from them with anything about my tickets. I disputed it and they said the ticket download link was sent at 10am on same day I bought them at 10:43am. So let me get this straight you sent me the link to download tickets 43 mins before I bought them. That's your defense. This company is joke with horrible customer service. Pay the extra money and use a real company.

Bought tickets for a live music event six weeks prior and was never sent the tickets. After contacting customer service the next day I was told the tix would be transferred 48 hours before the event. When I contacted them two days before the event I was told they would transfer the next day. When they didn't transfer that day either I was told they would transfer a few hours before the event started. What a scam! Who would do business that way? They had my money for six weeks and never sent me the tickets. I had to file a dispute with PayPal (where I paid for the tix) in order to get a refund. Horrible company.

Dishonest and deceptive purchase practices. Showed one price then charged another without letting me know. Contacted immediately refused to acknowledge my contact through chat and email. Requested an immediate refund they ignored it till the day later and said that it was too late. And that I should try to charge him back because I won't win really bad attitude as well. Hell has a special place for companies like this.

Within minutes of purchasing 4 tickets for a show, I found the same tickets (same section and row) $300 cheaper. Reached their customer service and asked for price match but they only gave me Gametime credit of $200 quoting that their policy caps at $200. This is ridiculous if you are buying tickets in bulk as in my case. They did not agree to price match completely. Highly disappointed. Will never recommend or use them again.

Me and some friends bought 7 tickets for the Bills/Steelers playoff game in Buffalo in January 2024. We live in Florida. 3 days later a huge snow storm came through causing a State of Emergency in Buffalo. A full travel ban issues by the Mayor and ALL flights were cancelled in and out of Buffalo. Our flight was cancelled Saturday, Sunday and again Monday. It was so bad they even moved the NFL game from Sunday to Monday and that NEVER happens. Obviously, we couldn't get there. Not that we didn't want to. We physically couldn't! Airports were closed! We got our money back for airlines and hotel but not from GAMETIME! They literally used the opportunity to take advantage of people and show me their return policy. Nowhere does it say if the city is in a state of emergency! Another obnoxious company only worried about the bottom line and not actually trying to help people.

This company uses the definition of bait and switch tactics to sell tickets. I feel completely duped. No need to go into particulars. Plan on their Advertised price to be $50 less then their actual price. Pictures speak for themselves.

Scammers
September 25, 2023

I was attempting to find out how much this company charged for an additional fee, and instead of going to an inbox, it immediately purchased the tickets, adding $30 per ticket. After being told there was no way to reverse it, I rec'd a text stating an IP address in Las Vegas accessed my account. I called their number, and the phone was answered in Punjabi. They switched to English. After 30 minutes on the phone, all I was told that everything was ok, and not to worry. As a result, I've cancelled my card to protect my account. Whatever you do, don't use this company for anything, EVER!

SCAM SCAM SCAM
August 3, 2023

My friend and I bought tickets to Taylor swift, including one for her 13 year old daughter who has been listening to her since she was a baby. The tickets never came through. For days I continued to call and text. I kept ending up speaking with people clearly living in Asia, each who assured me that I had nothing to worry about, that the tickets were guaranteed. The tickets will be replaced! Don't worry!

It's now hours before the show. We have our outfits. I have my sitter. We paid for a hotel. But we don't have tickets! I am continuing to receive their scripted excuses and promises. However I am not receiving my tickets. So now I am beyond frustrated. I do not know how they intend to profit from this but I have already reported them to amex. I will also live out my life with the main goal being to destroy this company and find everyone who has ever so much touched a phone for them. Sadly it doesn't help get the kid into the show. This company needs to be shut down!

Expensive Tickets
September 28, 2023

You would think tickets are cheaper on Gametime

Nope. Bought a raptors ticket for 280. Checked Ticketmaster, the same section cost 200. The ones that cost are in row 16, mine is in 32

They don't offer me a refund, they keep saying they can't do anything

It's a scam. Least they can do is show some respect to their customers

Disappointed son!
April 26, 2022

Wow, purchased tickets only to be told later the tickets are no longer available. Now my son is completely devastated that he can't go to the game. Why do you put tickets up for sale and charge people, then decide you don't want to honor the sale?
Beware of horrible business tactics.
