It is fairly easy to book, however it is not immediately visible what is the seat number after you select the number of tickets. I used the mobile app. Otherwise, easy to check out.

I was very happy with the price range that was available
Choosing the seats in the area I would like to be was okay although it took a while for them to show as taken
Confirmation came through quickly and the tickets are showing in my app awaiting the QR code to be allocated nearer the event

Non existant customer service

Non existant customer service. Just a series of standard emails. Found a phone number online (03333446250) but the people on there are just as useless!

I've had to make my way to the O2 the day before the event to get info on why I cannot access my tickets. Lo and behold, its Eventim who havent sent the necessary details to the venue, even though their representative (when I did finally get a response) said it was a technical issue with O2!!

I have emailed to lodge a complaint. Not holding out much hope for a response!!

DON'T USE EVENTIM!!!!!!!!!

Update 26/6/26: Tickets have just arrived. The response from Eventim again tries to place blame on O2 app. As I was told yesterday, the actual fault was with Eventim not processing correctly. And sending an email to them if you dont receive by doors open? No chance of seeing your event...

Hi there, thank you for your review - we’re sorry to hear about the frustration this has caused.

We’re aware of a current connection issue affecting ticket visibility in the venue app and our team is actively working to resolve this as a priority. The tickets should appear in the O2 venue app before doors open for the event, so we’d kindly ask you to keep checking closer to the event time.

If you are still unable to access your tickets by the time doors open, please contact us via our contact form so we can assist you directly: https://www.eventim.co.uk/contact-form/?lang=en_en

We appreciate your patience while this is being resolved and apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Terrible customer service

Impossible to get through to customer service. Emailed them and used their online contact form - no response. Called their customer service number and the line just disconnects after the recorded message. Have an event on Tuesday at the O2 and cannot access my tickets. Really not sure how else to contact them for help!

Hi there, thank you for your feedback.

We’re sorry to hear you were disappointed with your experience, particularly regarding the notification and seat availability. For high-demand events, ticket availability can change extremely quickly once sales open, which can affect the seats remaining even shortly after the on-sale time.

We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and will take your comments on board.

Rip off venue pricing

Despite logging on as soon as tickets went on sale there were very few left on both presale & general sale. Also I think £9 per ticket booking fee is excessive as when buying tickets at the same time it's only 1 booking. £3 per ticket venue levy fee, £2.50 to have tickets sent to you mobile & a processing fee added over another £26 to the cost of the tickets. Obviously the venue knew that there would be a high demand & wanted to get as much revenue as possible.

Hi there, thank you for your feedback.

Demand for popular events can be extremely high, which can result in limited availability shortly after tickets go on sale.

The various fees applied help cover the costs associated with ticketing services, payment processing, and secure ticket delivery systems. All charges are displayed during the booking process before payment is completed so customers can review the total cost before confirming their order.

We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

A little shocked with cost of the additional booking, transaction, ticket delivery, venue fees totally £12.54 (nearly as much as the half price tickets !!)

Lots of extra charges

I’m just a bit disappointed in the amount of extra fees you charged … booking fee … venue levy… processing fee … and delivery/transaction fee … which became around 20% extra on top of the ticket prices … and you’re meant to be the reputable company we need to get the tickets through.
The positive was it was easy to choose the tickets I wanted.

experience regarding the purchase of Donny Osmond tickets

I wasn't able to choose the two seats I wanted to buy from the seating chart.
Your computer chose them for me!
Now that I have my order confirmation, I can't resell my tickets for February 6, 2027, because your resale service requires the barcodes You haven't sent them to me.
How am I supposed to resell them?
I need your help.
Please reply.

App only is annoying

It’s ridiculous to only be able to access tickets via your app. What happens if the app crashes or if someone without a phone wants to buy tickets. There should be print at home and collect from venue options

Thank you for your feedback.

We understand that app-only ticketing may not suit every customer. For some events, the ticket delivery method is chosen by the event organisers and venue as part of enhanced security and anti-fraud measures. This helps reduce unauthorised resale and counterfeit tickets through the use of secure digital tickets and dynamic QR codes.

Where alternative ticket delivery methods are available, these are shown during the booking process. We appreciate your comments and will pass your feedback on internally.

Thank you for your feedback.

We’re sorry to hear you experienced issues during the booking process. For very high-demand events, heavy traffic can sometimes cause sessions to time out or tickets to be released if the booking process is interrupted before completion.

We understand how frustrating this can be and appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

Thank you for your review.

We’re sorry to hear you missed out on the VIP tickets you wanted. For high-demand events, tickets are not secured until the checkout process has been fully completed and confirmed. While tickets may appear available initially, they can unfortunately sell out during the payment process if other customers complete their purchases first.

We understand how disappointing this is and appreciate your feedback.

Thank you for your review.

We’re glad to hear that you found the purchase process easy and stress free. Presale allocations and seat availability are determined by the event organisers and promoters, and not all seats may be released during presale periods.

We hope you enjoy the event.

My experience was a bit stressful as it kept saying my presale tickets were not available but after several attempts i managed to book my tickets to see Donny

The staff were helpful as I actually thought because I had booked via Donny.com I thought it was a scam but I got a confirmation email to say it was genuine so I’m very happy
