Scammed me out of a whole ticket for a cancelled gig

I bought a ticket in early 2025 to see The Crazy World of Arthur Brown on August 2nd 2025. It was cancelled but I wasn't informed of this, though found out from someone else. I asked for a refund and was ghosted. I thought I could use my ticket to attend the rescheduled concert on the 1st of August 2026, but on their website it says my ticket is now invalid. I have had 0 communication from them and no refund. I had to buy a new ticket for the event from another company so I'm a full ticket out of pocket. I have tried to get onto the promoters (Hamilton Hunter Live) who directly linked to this site for the event, only to again be ghosted. I have thus disputed the payment with my bank, hopefully I get a refund. I will never use buytkts again.

Edit: you say you have contacted me about the event being cancelled, but this isn't true. The event on your site still is listed as 2025! The ticket also remains displayed as invalid! I have emailed you, but again to no response. I had emailed in the past and can only assume it was lost or overlooked by your customer service team.

Hi Rakel,

We’re sorry to read this review, but we would like to clarify the situation.

The event was rescheduled from 2 August 2025 to 1 August 2026. All ticket holders were contacted once the new date was confirmed and advised of the refund policy. Original tickets remained valid for the rescheduled event, so there was no requirement to purchase a new ticket.

We have also checked our correspondence and cannot locate any email from you requesting assistance or a refund. Had you contacted us, we would have been able to confirm that your original ticket was still valid.

Please contact us directly with your original order details so we can investigate why the website appeared to show otherwise and help resolve the matter.

Won’t resolve issues / refund

To be fair, I’m sure very few people review ticket companies when things go right, but I note that the companies who have given buyTKTs 5stars have Mark Miller listed as an owner / director… who owns buyTKTs. Other 5 star reviews are from 1 week and two of these are from the same person just days apart… (make of this what you will) otherwise the story seems similar to mine - buyTKTs will not refund even when presented clearly with their error against relevant legislation.

I appreciate they have replied to this regarding their side - but they were found to have acted incorrectly and hence money has been reclaimed after.

Similar to other reviews, I was denied a refund despite being sold a different seat / ticket to what was advertised for the Richard Thompson concert in May - (sold and advertised as category A) and they did not declare I change to lower price band during refund opportunity, going as far as to tell me in writing they were in the same price band. The seat was in a completely different seat band and significantly lower quality. It seems likely that error was in initial sale but, like a similar complaint below, they did not acknowledge the error.

By challenging through credit card company, they agreed consumer rights and trading standards were not adhered to (by misleading through action and omission - trading standards 2008) and a full and complete refund has now successfully been claimed back (an option open to anyone in similar position).

Better honest communication and acceptance of when things go wrong would have prevented this (they could have offered partial refund to reflect difference in price bands or even been more honest and upfront prior to the event that tickets were incorrectly advertised). However it was clear in opportunities to resolve with buyTKTs that they had no intention to resolve issue based against relevant legislation (and continue to not understand their fault despite a 3rd party resolution demonstrating this) .

If using buyTKTs for Mark’s venues and events, I’m sure people will get a great experience - if another venue / artist or consumer of an event elsewhere, I would look at the venues own ticketing or a larger company with more understanding of wider consumer responsibilities to avoid potential later issues.

Hi Alistair,

We’re sorry that you remain unhappy, but this review does not accurately reflect the attempts made to resolve your complaint.

When the issue with the original seating arose, you were offered alternative seats. Although these were within a differently named seating band due to their location in the venue, they were sold at the same price point as your original tickets. When you confirmed that you were unhappy with the alternative seats, we offered you a full refund.

You chose not to accept the refund offered directly by us, attended the event and then raised a dispute with your card provider, through which the payment was subsequently returned. You have therefore received a full refund.

We appreciate that the alternative seating was not satisfactory to you, but we do not accept the suggestion that we refused to resolve the matter or would not provide a refund. Both replacement seats and a full refund were offered before the payment dispute was raised.

Ghosted on a refund

They changed the tickets I bought (a downgrade. As far as I can tell, the reason they gave was a lie.). They said they would refund the difference, but never did and subsequently ghosted me. Only reason my rating isn't a 1 is because the tickets were actually legit.

Hi John,

We’re sorry to see this review, but we would like to clarify that you were not ignored.

You were advised that we could refund the difference in ticket value and were asked to provide your UK bank details so the payment could be processed. We have not received the requested details, so we have been unable to issue the payment.

Please reply to our previous correspondence with the requested bank details and we will arrange the refund of the difference.

My gig was cancelled but I never…

My gig was cancelled but I never received any correspondence from buytkts. I tried their online form which doesn't work and says it's temporarily out of order (has been for two weeks that I know of) and there's no phone number so I emailed them two days after the gig was supposed to take place on 5/01/26 and still haven't received any response.

Hi Michael,

We’re sorry to hear that you did not receive the event update.

All ticket holders were emailed using the address provided with their booking and advised that the event had been cancelled. Occasionally these messages can be filtered into spam or junk folders, but we appreciate how frustrating it is when an important update is missed.

We’re also sorry that you experienced an issue with the online contact form. Please email us directly with your order number and the email address used to purchase the tickets so we can locate your booking, check the correspondence sent and resolve this for you.

SCAM! Avoid using at all costs.

I never received tickets I purchased for a gig so I missed it. Contacted the company and all I got told is it's not their policy to refund tickets after a show.

Paid for service.
Didn't receive service or a refund.
Scammers.

Thanks for your review Rob.

Sad to hear your experience but as all ticket outlets, we cannot refund a ticket after the show date has taken place as per our sales policy. From your purchase date until the show date if you contacted us we could re-issue your ticket should you need but after the event has taken place we have no control over your ticket being used on the event date.

Sad to hear you weren't happy with your experience but we directly sell tickets on behalf of venues and ticket promoters as per our sales policy, certainly not a scam.

Disgusting service

Disgusting service, booked tickets for an event in March. 1 month later, received an email saying the event was postponed due to illness and they would be in touch with further information. No further emails or information were received, so another month later I emailed asking for information, and 5 months later, no response, no refund. 1 star is too good for these con artists!

Hello Nicola,
I’m really sorry to hear you weren’t satisfied with the service you received. I’ve checked our records and couldn’t find any email from you at support@buytkts.co.uk.

Whenever we’re informed by an event promoter that a show has been cancelled or postponed, we immediately notify our customers. As soon as we receive updated information or new dates, we send another update.

If you could kindly reach out to us at the email above, we’ll be more than happy to look into this for you and provide any assistance you need.

Absolutely shocking customer service

Absolutely shocking customer service. I never received my ticket and despite trying to contact this company on numerous occasions I have had no response. The event is now sold out, so I have no option of picking up another ticket. Money has left my account, I have no ticket and no explanation. This company is an absolute scam artist! Avoid at all costs!!

Hi Heather,

We’re sorry to hear that you had difficulty accessing your ticket.

Tickets are automatically emailed immediately after purchase, and our records show that your ticket was successfully sent and later resent to the email address provided with the booking. Unfortunately, ticket emails can occasionally be filtered into spam or junk folders, or blocked by an email provider.

We’re also sorry that you felt unable to reach us. Had we been made aware before the event, we would have been happy to confirm the booking and resend the ticket again to ensure you could attend.

Please contact us with your order details so we can review the correspondence and investigate what happened.

Hi,

We’re sorry that you experienced difficulty locating your ticket, particularly when travelling from Northern Ireland for the event.

However, our records show that your e-ticket was issued automatically to the email address provided at the time of booking and was subsequently resent. We therefore do not believe it is accurate to suggest that no ticket was supplied.

Unfortunately, automated ticket emails can occasionally be filtered into spam or junk folders, or blocked by an email provider. Your original ticket remained valid for entry, so there should not have been any need to purchase a second ticket.

We appreciate how frustrating the situation must have been, but BuyTkts did issue and resend the valid ticket connected to your order.

Scammers

Scam. They are located at a fake address in Glasgow and scammed me out of £75 worth of tickets. DO NOT BUY.

They don’t respond to emails and have no means of contact

Hi Lewis,

We take allegations of this nature seriously, but we do not accept the claim that this order was a scam.

Our records show that the £75 worth of tickets purchased were issued to the email address provided with the booking. The tickets were valid for the event and the order was successfully processed.

BuyTkts is a legitimate ticketing business, and customer support is available through our published online contact channels.

Please contact us with your order number and booking email address so we can confirm when the tickets were issued and investigate any correspondence you believe went unanswered.

Con artists…

Took over a week for someone to reply to my email. Didn't even answer my question and then never got back to me before the event. Buy your tickets from Edinburgh Fringe direct, these are con artists!

Thank you for taking the time to review Claire. Sadly as per our ticket terms which all customers agree to prior to purchase we're not able to change the date of tickets incorrectly purchased. This is clearly laid out on our website and in the terms prior to purchase and we're sorry you purchased tickets to the wrong date. We hope you have a better experience in future!
