I would never purchase anything through … I would never purchase anything through these guys again . I bought a ticket to an even in August the event was in October ( my bday weekend) I got an email the event was cancelled and would receive a refund . Well here it is November and still no refund. I found out I wasn't the only one out here so now we are all looking into a class action lawsuit. Oh and there's no one you can talk to either the only department that has actual people working is sales yea go figure.

False Advertising!!! I took the time to do a demo with a Ticketbud sales rep. He swore up and down that we would be able to rent POS credit card swipers to use with their app onsite during the event and that the fee would be waived after 5 uses. He even went so far as to say he could throw them in the mail in the next day or two for us. With such solid promises, we felt confident moving forward building out the ticketing site for our charity benefit. Two days later, when we asked to order the dongles for onsite registration, we were told that they were not available. They did not provide any explanation as to why. My experience with Ticketbud is that it was a complete waste of my time. They jerked me around and forced me to scramble to find a site that did suit our needs, one which is actually free to charities. I do not recommend Ticketbud to anyone and will not use them in the future.

I still have yet to receive my refund … I still have yet to receive my refund for the scam event that was hosted on TicketBud's website. I would steer clear of using their service as their due diligence is clearly still in it's infant stages. Furthermore, they decided to create 7 transfer phone lines that all lead to a voicemail so you could not communicate with a real person. All things said and done your platform hosted a scam event. It's now December 8th and I have not received a refund nor any follow up from you or the aforementioned vendor.

I would strongly recommend everyone to… I would strongly recommend everyone to not purchase any tickets distributed by ticketbud. They are nothing but only support scammers who would not take any form of responsibilities for our securities. Just last week for NYE ticketbud has distributed tickets for a 2 day event in Australia called 'Psynapse' under 3P productions. All the attendees, a good 500-600+ were present at the right time only to find out that the event was called off at the last minute. Now we understand that due to a lot of unfortunate events, things may not go according to plan which is understandable. Nonetheless all the festival goers need was a refund for the money we all spent. The event planners were not responsive to anyones requests, rather they just ran off deleting their fb page and ticketbud has denied any form of assistance to help us get our money back. We emailed, called and tried reaching out to ticketbud to cooperate with us all in helping us getting a refund or to get any form of update about a potential future event, only to get no response at all. Once again, along with the 500-600+ who has been subjected to a scam from ticketbud, I would strongly recommend no one to purchase any tickets through this agency. Cause once you make that purchase they will not take any form of responsibilities

Cheap, but has significant issues We've used TicketBud for two events now in the 200-250 person range. On the upside, they're cheap. However, the downside is that they feel cheap. The last time we used them, I think we reported half a dozen bugs, most of them obvious. But they seemed like they were just getting started, so this year I figured we'd give them the benefit of the doubt and try again. On the upside, the basics do seem to work. You can put some tickets up for sale, send people off to PayPal, and get money. Last time we successfully used their android app to check people in. But the edge cases are rough. For example, we had early-bird tickets and regular tickets. When we were down to 1 early-bird ticket TicketBud would still let people try to buy up to 20 of them. Then the attempt would blow up with some sort of error. When they came back to the page, it would show that the early-bird tickets were sold out, so they felt cheated. We've got a half-dozen people upset on our Facebook page because of this. I finally had to just reduce the number of early-bird tickets by 1 so that people trying to buy in pairs would stop getting hit with this. We had a similar problem when the event was almost sold out: mysterious site failures and angry attendees. Another big problem: they don't appear to have waitlist functionality. I just had to go build something with Google Forms and stick it half-assedly in the page. Speaking of which, their supposedly WYSIWYG editor ends up with the content looking fairly different on the two pages. I had to spend a bunch of time messing with the raw HTML to get the page to come out right. And there are a number of other issues that, at least to this software developer's eye, look obvious. I thought using TicketBud was a way to save money for my guests, and I guess it did. But next time I'm going to try something else in hopes of finding something better built.
