A very helpful experience!

I had some difficulties with purchasing in the need to exchange. Sam the customer rep was absolutely wonderful! He understood the problem and tried various options. He was very thorough, understanding, and helpful! Unfortunately, there are not a lot of Sam’s in this world of technology, but he was really great. Thank you.

Stopped sweating bullets

I had somehow deleted my e-tickets for my late April Broadway show. These tickets are a birthday present for my wife. After an online chat first with the an AI assistant and then with Sam I was sent a new email confirmation of my e-tickets. Thank you Sam I am no longer sweating bullets.

It was not a good experience

It was not a good experience. I bought tickets for Tuesday, April 7. Five minutes later I realized I had made an error and meant to purchase them for the 8th. There’s no way to get help with making that change. All I could get was a chatbot telling me final sale. I don’t want a refund. Just to change to one day later. It’s insulting to get no genuine help.

Frustration

After ordering my ticket I didn't get the confirmation email and when my eticket disappeared it took a frustrating 2 hours to get through to a human being (Jessica). She was finally able to email the confirmation to my husband's address but apparently never figured out why mine didn't work.

This site popped up on Google and I thought I was buying directly from the theater. I realized later I paid $30 per ticket more than if I had bought directly on the theater’s site. Fooled by Search Engine marketing and not pleased.

Thank you for your feedback. We regret that you are not satisfied with your recent purchase and appreciate the opportunity to clarify our pricing. Our tickets include a booking fee to cover operational costs, as we do not retain the ticket price itself. These fees are included upfront to ensure transparency at checkout. While we strive to offer discounts whenever possible, some tickets are sold at full price, including the booking fee. We appreciate your understanding, and our Customer Experience team is available if you wish to discuss this further

I just bought 2 broadway tickets for April 2026.I accidentally bought them through New York Theatre Guide. Never have I ever bought tickets through this site. I also foolishly paid for the protection plan. I thought I read “for full refund” and I would lose the payment for the protection plan. We are from out of town and I was being cautious. When I realized I made a mistake, not even 30 minutes, I tried to cancel but instead and like everyone, I was offered a voucher. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? How is this legit? I didn’t want to lose my money (overcharged tickets) so I rebooked and guess what the original tickets were no longer available and suddenly new ones were available. Is this a scam? I don’t even have the tickets. Apparently, they will be emailed to me 24 hours or the day of. It doesn’t sit well with me. We are from out of town and I don’t know one company (unless not legit) who would do that. Once paid, I should have my tickets and also we should have the right to a full refund.

PS: no confusion and the situation hasn’t been resolved. I asked for a number to call but you couldn’t provide me with one. However, you only can call me. I’m forced to accept the tickets that I tried cancelling 5 minutes after purchase again thinking the protection payment was for full refund. Any organization big or small would refund or would provide a customer service nhmber. The conversation was via chat. I kept all the screenshots of the conversation with Marika.
At the very least, I hope to get my tickets asap.
