  1. [R1] MLB Ballpark 1/5 · US Can’t transfer tickets: This app is super buggy and is far less efficient than ticket master. I’ve been trying to accept transferred tickets for the last 45 minutes. I’ve quadruple checked that my email is correct and I’m still facing issues. Horrible experience.
  2. [R4] MLB Ballpark 1/5 · US Terrible App: App is sluggish. Does not load pages or contain any information from your profile. Tickets won’t load to app.
  3. [R9] MLB Ballpark 5/5 · US Purchased Ticket Access: Often unable to access and transfer purchased tickets for home and away games. Little said about how long such processing should take. Too much clutter on the app obscures ticket procedures. The virtual “Ticket Assistant” is a cruel joke. You should be able to access what you paid for when you pay for it.
  4. [R11] MLB Ballpark 5/5 · US Tickets: Can’t find my tickets
  5. [R6] MLB Ballpark 1/5 · US Unnecessarily difficult: Booo
  6. [R12] MLB Ballpark 2/5 · US Glitch: Needs work
  7. [R39] MLB Ballpark 1/5 · US Horrible App: Avoid if you can. Their tech support is nonexistent and they totally control communication at their leisure.
  8. [R45] MLB Ballpark 1/5 · US Purchased but can’t receive tickets: I bought tickets and downloaded the app and made an account. Still can not access my tickets and trying to use the help function on the app is terrible.
  9. [R50] MLB Ballpark 1/5 · US Trash: I ordered 2 tickets on the Reds website. I checked my account to see the tickets. The homepage doesn’t load and only shows an error. The tickets don’t appear even when I verify my email. I contacted customer service who did nothing except tell me to contact the Reds organization. I don’t know what the Reds are going to do about fixing your trash app! Update: the game is tomorrow and I sti
  10. [R3] MLB Ballpark 3/5 · US New senior experience: It’s my first try on the app, it’s overwhelming so I may need a video tutorial
  11. [R18] MLB Ballpark 2/5 · US Annoying: It’s annoying to have to use an app once you already bought the tix. I use this app frequently but every time I purchase new tickets I always have to verify my address w a two step verification reset my password update the app., etc. Luckily, I know better to check to make sure the tix were delivered before I go into the game or I’d be fumbling on my phone at the gate for ten minutes ju
  12. [R22] MLB Ballpark 1/5 · US Tired of the Hassle: Tired of all the aps and passwords. Ticketmaster, MLB Ballpark, white Sox…..not worth the aggravation!!!! Just give me 2 physical tickets. I know, I’m old.
  13. [R43] MLB Ballpark 2/5 · US A lot: There is a lot to do if you are just visiting the city for one game- even entering this review you have to add a nickname and they are all taken which stops the submit lap - too much to do all the way around
  14. [R10] MLB Ballpark 1/5 · US Jr: I paid for parking as well as game tickets. I see the game tickets but the app doesn’t show me the QRCode for the parking
  15. [R14] MLB Ballpark 1/5 · US Why?: I was told to give screenshots of tickets to my guests but when I attempt it your app complains that I am break v some rule. Please figure it out. You are making the ballpark experience worse.

  19. [R54] Ticketmaster－Buy 1/5 · US Worst support team ever: I got an error message while trying to buy tickets saying there was suspicious activity. I followed the instructions it told me including switching from WiFi to cell data, using a different browser and turning off private relay. Doing so got my account completely blocked from browsing. I called support and waited on hold for 30 minutes for the guy to tell me to re-do all t
  20. [R65] MLB 1/5 · US Junk app: Bought subscription, downloaded app. Guess what? App is broken and won't let me login, so no baseball for me. MLB, FIX THIS APP. Update: Developer said to reset my password. Too bad the ids.mlb.com URL won't load in whatever JS pop-up this app is using, therefore I STILL CAN'T LOGIN.
  21. [R66] MLB 5/5 · US The Best: My favorite for following baseball.
  22. [R67] MLB 3/5 · US Connection loss: Buy this channel every year and I lose connection loss. It doesn’t stay connected. It’s hard to maneuver, but I love the MLB follow the Yankees.
  23. [R68] MLB 1/5 · US Tx: Hard to find already purchased tickets
  24. [R79] TickPick 1/5 · US Fraudulent: I have been trying to work with tick pics for four months. Purchase tickets through tick pics for a two day event. I was allowed to access The first day was not allowed access the second day have been fighting to get a refund. I was told that there was nothing they could do because they couldn’t prove that the seller was at fault. I don’t care who’s at fault. The fact that I was denied
  25. [R80] TickPick 4/5 · US Poppy: Pringles
  26. [R81] TickPick 1/5 · US Hate this app: I have had no luck on getting tickets on this app and no customer service support had been provided as I have spent more than 1000 dollars with the benefit of doubt. Shame on me
  27. [R82] TickPick 5/5 · US T: Nice
  28. [R93] Gametime 1/5 · US Account: I had a credit in my account of 100 dollars I was going to use it to get some tickets and the credit went away. I haven’t had any luck getting in contact with customer service.
  29. [R94] Gametime 5/5 · US Lowest price: I downloaded all of the big name ticket apps just to see who had the lowest price on an MLB game and this one beat all of the other competitors. I am thrilled with this app.
  30. [R95] Gametime 1/5 · US Bad 3rd party reseller: I would NEVER buy through GameTime ever again. I went to purchase tickets that came up as "sold" once I hit the final "pay now" which then came up on my account later as the purchase being complete. GameTime refused to investigate this and I was essentially scammed into double purchasing with ZERO customer support or care. They did not allow me to refund my purchase from TH
  31. [R96] Gametime 5/5 · US Awesome app!: Purchased was fast and all the fees were included in tickets so no hidden fees!
  32. [R107] BASEBALL 9 1/5 · US Literally ragebait: It’s a fun game when you do good, but the outfielders can make a 30 ft diving catch and still catch on the easiest difficulty. Every time it goes to the outfield they catch it this game is the dumbest thing ever
  33. [R108] BASEBALL 9 5/5 · US Peak game: This is the best baseball game I have ever played! It is so satisfying to hit homers. The bats are cool. It is challenging but, not impossible. This is peak baseball!

  35. [R110] BASEBALL 9 1/5 · US Nothing for the WIN: I played this game, no cheating for 10+ months. I finally beat the game and there’s no final win reward. NOTWORTH. thanks.
  36. [R86] TickPick 5/5 · US Love it: Favorite ticketing app usually cheaper than Ticketmaster and I love the no service fee
  37. [R89] TickPick 5/5 · US Cheaper than Ticketmaster: Cheaper than Ticketmaster. What else matters?
  38. [R92] TickPick 5/5 · US No fee really means NO FEE!: Hated the sticker shock on the checkout page with every other ticket website but this one. And nope, they don’t try to hide fees by jacking up ticket prices either. The site allows you to clearly see seat locations, select by price, location, # of tickets… it’s TickPick for me every time!
  39. [R69] MLB 5/5 · US Great app: This app shows me all I need to know having missed the games I want to see. Great job.
