Scam tickets

Purchased tickets for a concert in Hobart (The Darkness). Barcodes never arrived and wasn't allowed entry to the concert. Door staff said several other groups had the same issue that night. Contacted for an explanation and got a brush off, no apology and no refund. A scam.

Reply from Ticket Merchant

Hi Laura, thank you for taking the time to reach out to us.
We’re really sorry to hear about what happened on the night, and understand how disappointing it would have been to miss out on the event. After reviewing your order, we can confirm that your tickets, including the barcodes required for entry, were successfully sent to your email on 3 February 2026. As noted in the order confirmation, this email cannot be used for entry.
It appears the ticket email may have been missed at the time, which is why entry wasn’t permitted. We can also see that our team has since reached out to gather more information and assist further. We’d really appreciate you getting back to us so we can look into this with you and work towards a resolution. You’re also welcome to contact us directly on 03 9498 1554 or info@theticketmerchant.com.au.

Great show but pushy staff.

Show was fantastic with incredible sound and lighting. Ushers were pushy from arrival until leaving. Treating me like I’ve never been to a stadium before to barking at me that I can’t take a can in when I was nowhere near ready to enter the hall. Drinks expensive. Nice short lines though.

Great concert experience and fantastic…

Great concert experience and fantastic venue for live events. The atmosphere was excellent and the show itself outstanding. The venue was well organised though having a few more staff on the floor to help guide queues to less crowded bars and toilets would help improve the flow. The team could also engage a bit more with patrons. More seating options would also be appreciated. As BEC is quite far from the city, many people arrive early to make a full evening of it, so improving comfort during that time would make a big difference and improve sales for the venue!

Wonderful experience

Had no trouble getting our tickets, had no trouble getting to our seats for the show on time even though the show we were at was over 4000 people. We had a great night and a wonderful experience!

Jimmy Carr Cairns

The ease of electronic tickets, and regular text and email updates of show changes made attending Jimmy Carr easy. The location was excellent given the small town of Cairns and staff were helpful. The only thing that could be improved would be the long wait times for food and drinks prior to the show starting.

Great experience at Jimmy Carr!

Got the tickets I wanted for Jimmy Carr in Cairns. Loved the show and ticket merchant made it possible to get the section I wanted when it was sold out by Ticketek. I’m so glad I went with ticket merchant! No hassle, no problems….could just relax and enjoy the show!

The venue was Aweosme

The venue was Aweosme . It was open air , plenty of space to spread out and dance - plenty of places to sit down. The food trucks were great - toilets are an issue at every venue but there was enough while the time we were there I don’t think we waited too long. I love this venue

Mumford & Sons concert Melbourne

Buying the tickets for this concert was an easy process. Communication from Ticket Merchant was great, keeping me updated with information as the date approached.
The concert itself was amazing! The quickest 2 hours of my life. Loved every minute.
