Warning! Terrible exchange policy
I bought tickets to visit wimpole christmas lights, entry time 5.30pm Friday evening. It says on the website that tickets can be exchanged up to 24 hours before. We need to change the date as one person can no longer attend and tried to do it via the app as it states. When I looked on Wednesday evening there was no option to exchange. I emailed them at 10.30pm Wednesday night. They have contacted me today (Thursday) to say it is less than 24 hours to the event date and therefore I cannot exchange the tickets!!!!
Wednesday night when I contacted them was 43 hours before the event time and even if you count midnight Thursday as the start of the event still well over 24 hours before.
Update: Approx 7 emails, 2 phone calls and lots of stress later I managed to get the exchange but did not hear until just before the time of our booking. The reply they gave to this review shows they cannot seem to understand that Wednesday evening is more than 24 hours before Friday!!!

Hi Kirstin,
Thanks for your feedback. We understand your frustration!
Our exchange policy states that exchanges cannot be made within the 24 hours before the event, and unfortunately, once an event is within then we can't offer a exchange.
Please contact us via email and we will review your case and get back to you as soon as we can.
We appreciate your understanding and apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Go anywhere else if you can
Bought a pair of tickets to a cinema screening and paid a decent chunk extra to make sure they were refundable.
Turns out claiming a refund (something normal companies offer for free) is near impossible due to the insanely specific circumstances you need to claim. For example needing to travel for work is only a valid reason if you have to relocate for at least 3 months...
The process involves going through and deliberately unintuitive process and submitting a form to their own third party, effectively allowing them to wash their hands and claim it wasn't their rules.

Hi!
Thank you for sharing your feedback.
We are sorry to hear about your experience with the Refundable ticket option. We understand how frustrating it can be when the refund process doesn’t meet expectations.
To clarify, our refund process is provided by Refundable, an independent third-party service with their own terms and eligibility criteria, which we unfortunately cannot amend or override.
We truly value you sharing your experience, as feedback like this helps us highlight customer concerns to the relevant teams and improve where possible.

Customer servce doesn't exist.
Their customer services are non existent. When I did finally get a response they told me I was in New Zealand and they only dealt with the UK. Now. I know us Derbyshire folk speak a little differently, but last I heard it was in the centre of the UK, Literally. Im still waiting for a response after a month of trying. Would never recommend nor use their service again. Use alt-tickets. Really good communication. Helped me within 24hrs.
I have contacted 3 times through your website. Like I said rubbish customer service. Ts bad enough I'm to ill to attend without the stress you are creating me.

Extremely poor support and no clear solution
I had tickets for the Christmas Light Trail at Dunham Massey, which was cancelled due to bad weather. The app clearly states that cancelled tickets can be exchanged at no extra cost—even if the new session is more expensive. However, the app has shown an error for days, making the exchange impossible.
I contacted Ticketek several times and received contradictory answers. First they told me to exchange through the app (which isn’t working), then to buy new tickets and request a refund afterward—but this would cost me £25 more. Each reply avoided the key question: Will the price difference be refunded if I am forced to rebook at a higher cost due to their system failure? I still have no clear answer.
Poor communication, contradictory instructions, and no real support in resolving a simple issue. Very disappointing experience.

Hi Aml,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and we’re genuinely sorry for the frustration you’ve experienced!
The cancellation at Dunham Massey and the issues you encountered with the exchange function clearly created an inconvenient and confusing situation, and we understand how disappointing this must have been.
We apologise for the conflicting information you received while trying to resolve the issue.
We’d like to look into this further and ensure you receive a clear and accurate resolution. Please reach out to us with your booking details so we can review your case directly and confirm the correct next steps, including any applicable refunds or adjustments.
Thank you again for your patience—we’re committed to getting this sorted for you.

Hi Andy,
Thank you for sharing your feedback!
We understand that not everyone uses a mobile device, and we appreciate you highlighting how this impacts purchasing tickets for elderly family members.
While many events use digital tickets for security and efficiency, some venues do offer alternative ticket collection options. We’re always working to improve accessibility, so feedback like yours is incredibly valuable and will be passed along to the relevant team.
If you ever need assistance with a specific event or booking, our support team is here to help.

Dreadful experience …
Absolutely horrible experience trying to select seats. You can’t select seats if it leaves a single however there were dozens of single seats? I could have had perfectly good seats but due to the fact it would leave a single I had to sit further back once I finally managed to get them. Every time i selected my seats it told me they had gone, but they hadn’t, if you load the screen too many times it kicks you out and thinks you’re a robot and have to clear your cache and web pages to reload it and then sit back in a queue.

Hi Gary,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, and I’m really sorry to hear how frustrating the seat-selection process was for you!
We know how important it is to secure the seats you want, and the issues you described—single-seat restrictions, seats appearing unavailable, and being kicked out for refreshing—can understandably make the process feel stressful.
The single-seat rule is in place to help reduce isolated empty seats in the venue, but we appreciate that it can sometimes prevent customers from choosing seats that would otherwise work perfectly. Your comments about the system showing seats as “gone” and the bot-protection triggering are also really valuable feedback, and we’ll be passing this along to our technical team to review.
We’re sorry for the inconvenience this caused and appreciate you sticking with it to complete your purchase. If you need any help with your booking or have further concerns, our support team is here to assist.

Booking for Dunham Massey cancelled due…
Booking for Dunham Massey cancelled due to weather. Fair enough. Offered a refund or exchange. The app, website and customer service options are diabolical. The exchange process in the app does not work. Customer services impossible to contact.
Thanks for the reply, but there is no contact number in existence and you know it.
This company is a fraud.
The app clearly states:
EXCHANGE YOUR TICKETS
We have matched your current tickets with those available in your newly selected time. For cancelled events, tickets may be exchanged to another session at no extra cost where the new session is of higher value. Refunds are not provided if tickets with a lower value are selected.
I have followed the instructions of customer support and bought new tickets which happen to be of a higher value, but rest assured I should have been refunded at no extra cost to me.
Nope, customer service has refunded my original order and not made up the difference between the old order and the new one as state in your app!
This is fraud plain and simple.
I managed to get a customer phone number and they couldn't sort it out so asked for a full refund of both orders.

Hi John,
Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we’re really sorry for the difficulty you’ve had after the Dunham Massey cancellation!
We understand how frustrating it is when you're offered an exchange or refund but the tools aren’t working the way they should.
We do have an exchange tool available, and our team can also assist with exchanging or refunding your booking directly. If the in-app process isn’t working for you, please reach out to our customer support agents by phone — they’ll be able to look into your booking and help complete the exchange or refund.
