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.

Reasonably easy booking service. However you've got to get on with it otherwise you will get timed out. I had to clear it with my bank for the transaction to take place which took a few minutes.... See more

Brilliant performance let down by lack of customer care

The Clair Obscur symphony itself was brilliant and a 10/10. However, the experience was significantly let down by Eventim’s handling of the event-exclusive merchandise. Receiving an email just an hour before the show stating that the merch was unavailable was a major disappointment, especially as this was the only UK performance, meaning there won't even be another opportunity to get this merchandise again (excluding the fact that the show sells out in seconds).

While I understand that logistical issues can happen, Eventim have yet to respond to myself, and multiple others who have contacted them directly to enquire about this, who is responsible for it, or anything is being done to make it available to ticket holders, for two weeks now.

It is disappointing to see such a lack of interest or care toward customer queries.

Hi there, thank you for your feedback - we’re glad to hear you enjoyed the performance, but sorry the experience was impacted by the merchandise issue.

Just to clarify, we don’t organise or manage events or merchandise directly, only the selling of tickets for the event. We simply pass on information provided to us, which is why the update was shared ahead of the show.

I think it’s ridiculous that you’re charge £4 something per ticket as a booking fee when booking as a group not individually.

Hi there, thank you for the 4-star review!

We understand your frustration regarding the fees. The fee is applied per ticket, as it helps cover the costs associated with processing each individual ticket transaction, including payment services, systems, and distribution. These fees are agreed with promoters and venues and can vary depending on the event.

We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback.

tickets could only be bought from agents and not at the box office. the agents were charging a total of £10.50 per ticket which thought was horrendous. We were willing to go and buy them in person but found out we could not. This is not DONE.

Hi there, thank you for your feedback.

We understand your frustration. For some events, tickets are sold exclusively through authorised agents, as determined by the promoter or venue, which means box office sales may not always be available.

We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

Looking for Jonny Cole events to attend locally I found it difficult to negotiate so had to settle for Central Birmingham. However I was impressed with the affordable prices.

Impossible to get hold of

We bought tickets for a birthday present. The event got cancelled. They said we would receive a refund. They refunded the tickets and kept £30 of extra fees (not sure how the extra fees came to £30) I know they would keep these fees if we had to cancel and couldn't make it however I had paid for ticket protection. I don't see how it is fair to make us out of pocket for the fact they cancelled the show. I had filled in a help form from their website as there doesn't seem to be any other way to contact them. They have not come back to me and it seems impossible to get hold of them to speak to someone.
Very disappointed with the customer service. I won't get tickets through them again in worry I'll end up out of pocket with no show to go to!

Hi there, thank you for your review.

When an event is cancelled, refunds are processed in line with the terms and conditions agreed at the time of booking. As outlined there, certain fees are non-refundable, even in the event of a cancellation.

Regarding Ticket Protection, this is provided by a third-party insurer (TicketPlan) and covers specific circumstances as set out in their terms and conditions, which are shown and accepted at the time of purchase. Unfortunately, event cancellations or postponements are not covered under the policy.

Our customer service team are available via email Monday–Friday 9:00–19:30 and Saturday–Sunday 11:00–16:00, and will be happy to help via the contact form on our website.

Hello,

We understand your concerns regarding ticket availability and resale. Allocation of tickets across presales or priority sales is decided by the event organisers and promoters, and not all tickets are released in one general sale.

We do not support ticket touting, and where possible, organisers may provide official fan-to-fan resale options to help ensure tickets are resold at fair prices. Tickets listed on unofficial resale platforms are not always guaranteed to be valid.

View from chosen seats

Good presale information and I love the fact that there was a 180° view from the chosen seats at Hammersmith Apollo so I could make an informed decision!

Glad I got a ticket but very stressful

I am glad that I was able to purchase the ticket to my dream band concert but the system kept crashing and throwing me out of the cue. I was not able to pick the seat I wanted, so in desperation I just chose the randomly assigned option… I am grateful to get a ticket in the end but I felt I didn’t had much control to pick and it was a very nerve-wrecking experience.

Hello,

Thank you for your review.

We’re glad you were able to secure a ticket for your event, though we’re sorry to hear about the difficulties you experienced during the booking process.

For high-demand events, the system can be very busy, which may result in slower performance or limited seat availability as other customers are booking at the same time. In some cases, this means customers may need to select alternative or best available seats.

We understand this can feel stressful and appreciate your feedback. If you need any assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact our customer service team at customerservice@eventim.co.uk
