Fab customer service

Had to ask for tickets to be exchanged due to the fact I had double booked myself. They sorted this out for me within 3 hours of my form submission! Truly outstanding.

No switching to a less busy date... still unsure why

I had tickets booked for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child and needed to switch them from a Saturday afternoon date to a weekday date. You'd have thought this wouldn't have been an issue as the amount of seats still available for the weekday date is vast. However, the customer service staff were really unhelpful and blunt. This would put me off purchasing from the site in future.

Hello Kate,

We're sorry to hear you were unhappy with the service and understand your frustration.

Our tickets are sold on a non-refundable and non-transferable basis but we understand that there will be times when a customer can't attend the date they have booked. In these cases, we will always reach out to the theatre in question to see if an exchange is possible; please note that an exchange is never guaranteed. However, we do require contact at least 2 working days before the performance, this is stated on our exchange request form. If we are contacted less than 2 working days before the performance, a theatre won't allow an exchange. Sadly on this occasion, we weren't contacted in time and the theatre could not allow another exchange.

We do offer customers the option to purchase Refund Protection when ordering their tickets. This is a personal cover designed to protect against unforeseen circumstances that might prevents a customer attending the show they have booked. Unfortunately, we can see that this was not purchased alongside the tickets.

We appreciate you taking to time to leave feedback and we do apologise that we could not provide a more positive outcome.

Best experience ever - the only legitimate site!

DO NOT USE ANY OTHER SITES! This is the official site for London Theatre tickets. not a private enterprise that will elevate prices. Bought tickets for Cabaret and Les Mis and had made a huge mistake with one set of them; I somehow accidentally booked for a date I wouldn’t even be in the UK. . Emailed them using the link and Danielle spent days working to get me a new set of tickets for the correct date and no cost to me. Best experience - customer service was above and beyond.

I booked tickets for The Mousetrap…

I booked tickets for The Mousetrap following marketing from Mastercard Priceless and paid the premium for “insurance”. Within days of the performance I underwent a medical procedure that, ultimately, left me unable to drive on the verbal advice given by the Dr on discharge. There was no reference to this on the hospital discharge note and, in addition to umpteen requests for documentation the so called insurers asked for a Dr letter to confirm. Cost of letter £40 and no guarantee that the “insurer” will pay out. I need to drive because the end of the show is too close to the time that my last train departs Victoria Station.

In short the insurance is not worth the paper it is written on, the attitude of all parties - Mastercard, Official Theatre and the insurer stinks.

DO NOT WASTER YOUR MONEY BUYING THIS EXCUSE FOR COVER.

Hello,

We're disappointed to hear that you experienced difficulties with TicketPlan, the refund protection provider.

TicketPlan have their own set of terms and conditions that need to be met in order to qualify for a refund. These are available to read during the booking process and customers have to confirm that these have been read and agreed to prior to purchase. Sadly, there isn't anything we can do if you are not eligible for a refund with them. If you have any specific feedback regarding TicketPlan's terms, we would advise contacting them directly.

We can see that our team offered to request an exchange with the theatre to a later performance. Sadly, we did not hear back from you to make this request for you.

We appreciate you taking to time to contacting us with your complaint and we are sorry we could not have resolved the situation for you.

Box Office Marvels

I booked a birthday treat to Kinky Boots.
After booking I realised I couldn't make the original date.
The box office staff ( in particular Amy) couldn't have been more helpful in organising another date and refunding original payment.

Superb Customer Service from Amy

I had a problem in that I was using a Theatre Tokens card and purchased 2 tickets to see Oh Mary on February 14th. Later that day, I needed a 3rd but there wasn't a 3rd seat showing as available next to me. I asked if OLT could help me to get a 3rd ticked (limited options) so we were all together. Amy of OLT immediately came to the rescue, sorted it all out allowing me to get my 3rd ticket. Amy went above and beyond which was very noticeable as we live in a world where great customer service was seemingly lost to Covid. Great support Amy - thank you.

What a fabulous experience

What a fabulous experience. When illness struck our party for theatre, the customer service was excellent. Communications good despite there being no guarantee of a ticket exchange.
Well done and wholly recommended.

Great customer service

The new year sale allowed me to access performances at great prices. The customer service team were able to support me with answering questions about altering tickets. They responded quickly with clear options and ways to support me.

Great service

It was really easy to book theatre tickets through them online. Also, Amy from Customer Care was superbly efficient, courteous and respectful in sorting out a cancellation due to ill health. I would use them again to book theatre tickets, as a result of the service provided on this occasion.

Very quick Exchange of date and Money back

Very quick answer to e-mail all the time!
Perfekt solution of the Problem (change of date) - I bought the new ticket and got all the money from the old ticket booked back on my credit card immediately.
I really didn't expect such good and friendly Service!
