- [R20] AXS Tickets Excellent App: It’s so easy to use and very impressive with all results of all the events
- [R71] Fandango Obsessed with Fandango: Fandango is the perfect app. Wanna see all of the theaters where a movie is chosen, bam. Want to see all of the movies playing at a theater of your choice, bam. Want to save your favorite theaters, bam. Need to cancel your tickets right before the film? No prob, you have a credit to use at any theater on a future date of your choosing. Fandango is the only way to visit the
- [R65] Fandango Great customer service!!!: I had to call customer service to help me with a promo code problem. They were super helpful and easy to work with. They got me all squared away quickly. They walked me through everything step-by-step. It was a very good experience. The app is super easy to use. I would definitely recommend this to everyone!!!
- [R68] Fandango Great to have & pays for itself: I love having fandango. The discounts come in handy, saving anything these days helps. You get $10 off every month plus reward points & they waive fees at checkout too. I love having all the movies in one place to see and also being able to watch all the trailers too.
- [R7] AXS Tickets Can’t even use the app because I’m stuck signing in at every click: I just want my concert tickets. This create a passkey prompt will not allow you to click maybe later. I’ve spent 20 minutes trying to log in for my tickets. I JUST WANT MY TICKET. A password should suffice. WE DON’T NEED AN APP FOR EVERYTHING!
- [R41] AXS Tickets Purchasing tickets: I’ve tried several times to select and purchase tickets. Then once i finally was able to and wanted to go back because I forgot to get parking or add another ticket, there was no back button which caused me to have to start all over again. And then waiting for confirmation of tickets or purchases is a pain as well. Definitely requires patience.
- [R81] Fandango Buggy!: This app used to be great. Now it’s buggy as hell. Took forever just to buy a ticket and get through the menus. Very unoptimized. Apple Pay does not work. Please fix it.
- [R113] Fandango Tickets: Easy, fast,
- [R39] AXS Tickets Service Not as Described and NO Customer Service: I strongly recommend to avoid using this app to purchase tickets if possible. Recently attended an event through this company and they oversold the event. I was cheated out of $350 dollars in upgrades. When I reached out to customer support to ask for a refund, the company not only did not refund me for their mistake, but they completely ignored
- [R61] Fandango No Help: Account was hacked and they wouldn’t cancel the tickets even though I told them it wasn’t me. They said I would be contacted in 5-7 business days and never received anything. I had to call to repeatedly to get anywhere. I never had any issues until I signed up for the FanClub, which required my Credit Card to be saved.
- [R64] Fandango “Convenience fees”: This whole this is the new scam. The scam is the theaters getting full because most went out of business. So here’s fandango to save the day. Make sure the seats get reserved. For the privilege of buying a 20 dollar seat you also get to pay a 3 dollar convenience fee. 15 percent. Don’t worry just pay a 10 dollar per month membership fee to skip that. Forget than a 10am matinee
- [R93] Fandango Too expensive: This service is very convenient, but very expensive after adding the senior fees. The price went up a little over 20% all for work that a BOT is doing in the background.
- [R96] Fandango Horrible customer service!: I bought tickets for a 6:45 showing, 15 minutes in we decided it was just too hot to sit in the movie theater, and it was. I had sweat dripping down my face and back so we decided to just try and get a refund. I have tried three times to get a refund because it’s ridiculous to have to sit in a movie theater so hot you can pop your own popcorn in it and fandango would no
- [R33] AXS Tickets Horrible Company: Their customer service does the impossible- they make Ticketmaster look good. Their app touts easy transfers so when I bought two expensive tickets to gift to my wife and daughter I was surprised that the were non transferable due to “ artist request “. Would have been helpful if that was stated up front. Five emails to resolve came back with the same canned response. Stay away
