Joe Tuner Gone is garbage and the seats are terrible uncomfortable. I would not suggest this to anyone.

My representative alex was very understanding and compassionate to my horrible situation. I was readmitted to the hospital for a 2nd spinal fusion surgery 5 weeks after the 1st as 3 screws became loose. The 1st person was not nice at all. We live in NYC and attend theater and Lincoln Center events all the time and I have always experienced compassion for my unfortunate situation. But your 1st rep was not nice and Alex was Great1

Great Service!

This is my first experience using NY Theater Guide
The process was seemless, quick and efficient
While I would have liked storing the electronic tickets in my Apple Wallet, short of that, I would definitely use this service again.

Fail by the venue and ticket sales

Fail by the venue and ticket sales. This was our one show while on vacation in NYC as it came recommended by friends and family. We arrived as a family of 4 with our daughter age 20 with her parents and we were not able to attend the event. Very disappointed. Hope we can at least get refunded. Maybe we will try again next year.

Hi Joleen, thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear you weren't able to attend the show. I've checked in on this and can confirm that our support team was able to provide you with a full voucher amount of your order. Don't hesitate to reach back out to our team if you have any further questions or concerns.

The seats were not as advertised

The seats were not as advertised. They were in the back of the theater, in chairs that had been clearly added and were not raked. Also next to light/sound booth. These should have been marked as obstructed vision seats!

Voucher Was a Game-Changer for Me!

I am splitting time between New York and Florida for family reasons and because my schedule changes unexpectedly, I need flexibility with my ticket purchases for NY shows. I had a great experience with NYTG’s easy voucher system when I had a last-minute schedule change recently and using the voucher, I was able to see the show on another date. It was a seamless process - total game-changer. I recommend it all the time now!

That is fantastic to hear! We know how unpredictable a split-state schedule can be, so we're thrilled our voucher system provided the flexibility you needed to see your show.

It's great to know that a last-minute change turned into a seamless experience rather than a headache. Thank you so much for the recommendation!

Top Tier Customer Service!

When I needed help with an issue related to my order, I reached out to customer service. Engaging with customer service can often feel daunting. However, NYTG made the entire experience smooth and stress-free.

I was initially skeptical when my first point of contact was an AI bot, but I was pleasantly surprised to be connected to a live representative in under a minute. Within 60 seconds, I was speaking with Cheyenne, who provided exceptional service from start to finish.

She was courteous, knowledgeable, and genuinely attentive. She took the time to fully understand my concerns and thoughtfully addressed each one without rushing our interaction. Her patience and willingness to go above and beyond made a big difference.

After our conversation ended, I realized I had one more question and had to reach out to them again. By chance, I was connected with Cheyenne once more and she was just as helpful, patient, and efficient the second time around. She quickly got me what I needed and made the process completely painless.

Every company needs someone a Cheyenne. While I can’t speak for the entire team, having her as my first point of contact reflects very positively on NYTG and the kind of people they have representing their brand.

We know the transition from an AI bot to a live person can sometimes feel uncertain, so we’re thrilled Cheyenne was able to jump in so quickly and provide such attentive, patient service. Making a stressful situation "painless" is exactly what we aim for, and we’ll be sure to share this glowing feedback with Cheyenne and the rest of the team.

Extremely easy to find and purchase our tickets online. The seat view feature was a bonus. Added security in requiring a “handshake” with our payment partner was greatly appreciated in a time when one is never completely sure of what they’re buying through a website.

I purchased tickets and then learned that my partner had purchased tickets for the same show on a different day as a birthday surprise for me. It was a wonderful surprise until I discovered that I could not cancel my purchase without giving up 20 percent of the value. Shame on me, I guess; even though the cancellation was less than a day after
The booking.

Thank you for your feedback! It’s wonderful you both had the same great idea, though we understand the frustration of losing 20% of the value so soon after booking.

While our policies help us balance flexibility for guests with our commitments to the theaters, we understand your concern. We truly hope you have a fantastic time at the performance despite the booking hiccup!
