We purchased 6 adult and 2 child 3-park pass tickets for Universal Studios Orlando. The website advertised free tickets but we needed to purchase one at regular price in order for the sale to go through, which we of course did. Everything processed, the cc was charged and we received our e-ticket confirmations. The next day we received a call stating there was a glitch in their computer system and those tickets were no longer available. We called customer service and complained stating their computer issues were not our fault and that they should honor the sales price on their website.
The customer service was horrible. We asked to speak to a manager and after a considerable wait time, a woman got on the phone who was clearly the same rep we had just spoken to, not a manager! She stated there was nothing they could do and they were not going to honor their website, we would need to purchase all the tix at the regular price. We were told we should have called because those ticket prices were obviously a mistake! Well, I'm sorry, but it's not my job to call and make sure they are doing their jobs and reviewing their own website! They were not even willing to give us any discounts on those prices to make up for their incompetence. Although we would have been willing to buy the tix at a discounted price we feel they should have offered something to rectify the situation, as it was their error in the first place.
When something is advertised at a certain price, it needs to be honored, otherwise it's considered false advertising! I am completely dissatisfied with my experience with TAW and will be telling everyone I know to run as fast as they can from this company. Beware of what is advertised because those prices are subject to change even after you purchase and pay for them! They feel they have the right to cancel orders and make you repurchase at a different price which, if you ask me, sounds a bit like bait and switch!

After two failures with Tickets at Work for event tickets, we decided to use them for a hotel. We reserved the hotel and paid in full. Once we proactively tried to validate the reservation, we were told the room was not available. This is another horrible experience where Tickets at Work sold us a service that was not available - this to us is fraud. The solution from Tickets At Work is a refund, not room. We almost drove to Florida to find out that we didn't have a room at the hotel. Tickets at Work is a scam - do not trust what they sell to you and charge you for.
We were happy to speak with you recently and share more of the background that happened with your reservation, along with our sincere apology. This is unacceptable and we have taken great strides to make sure this will not happen again. We rely on vast network of vendors and suppliers to bring unique experiences and exceptional value to our members. In this case, even though we were advised from our hotel supplier that there was availability, the property was oversold, and a reservation could not be confirmed. We understand that your time is important and even though we provided you a full refund, this may have impacted your plans. Again we share our sincere apologies and we hope you will give us another chance.

We were embarrassed and treated like criminals in front of our kids. It was a horrible experience.
We recently saw your post on consumeraffairs.com and would like to apologize for the unpleasant experience you had with us. At the time the product delivery for the park switched ticket types, causing confusion at the gate. Our manager worked to understand the problem, and then spoke directly with park managers to accommodate all impacted guests. We regret the impact this had on your trip. It is rare that errors like this occur, and we try to do our best to work quickly to resolve them. We are pleased we were able to reach you and share our apologies.

I purchased movie tickets for my grandparents for Christmas and they can't remember where they placed them. I contacted support at Tickets At Work via email to see if we could get them reprinted so they could go to the movies. After a long two-day wait for a response I get an email stating they can't reprint them because they aren't etickets. Now I am out money because they can't help two elderly people that want to go to the movies. I know that it's my grandparents fault they can't remember where they put them but seriously if they look at them it clearly shows they haven't been used so they should be able to send another set out...

I bought two tickets for a Chichen Itza tour in January. I mistakenly booked the wrong date of 1/13 and I am not arriving in Cancun until 1/18. I rang first the hotel pick up reservation on the voucher to see if I could change the date per the above and make the pick up reservation at the same time. On the voucher it stipulates "Must call 72 hours in advance to make your reservation." Not only was the rep at the end of the line rude and unhelpful, he completely contradicted what the voucher said and couldn't confirm a reservation until I arrived there!
I then contacted the Customer Service Ticket At Work line. After being placed on hold for 40 minutes, a woman answered and when I explained my situation, her answer (like everyone else it appears) is that all ticket sales are final and they are non-refundable, non cancellable and non-exchangeable. I bluntly said that I am not trying to exchange it for another product, nor am I trying to get my money back or cancel the tour, I simply wanted to change the date. And from what I saw on the website, that date was still very much available. Per their website, changes to reservations are not guaranteed. That does not mean that they cannot do something about it. After much persistence, they finally allowed me to change my tour date for an additional $25 fee... Should have waited till I got to Cancun just to book the excursion. Albeit it would have been far more painless.

I bought tickets from ticketsatwork.com to watch Cirque De Soleil Kurios in San Francisco at Category 2 for $61 per ticket plus almost 12% of service fee. When I received e-tickets two days before the show time, I realized the assigned seating would have price of $53 if I have purchased from Cirque du Soleil official website. When I called to ticketsatwork.com customer service, after long waiting, I was confirmed the seating’s are Category 2, and all sales are final. They cannot do anything. On ticketsatwork.com website, they have Categories 3 and 4 at cheaper. Since I am bringing 5 kids and friends, I want them to have better seats, so I bought Category 2 and thought the seats won't be best, but should be okay. We were sat on the section 206 row L, number 4 to 12. There were no one in any row had to sit farther than number 12. I immediately realized these seats would have been Category 3 if they are not Category 4. Some of my kids were blocked by the huge pole on the stage. I just wish tickets at work would have been correctly posting their pricing at their website. At minimum, they could have offer to change to another day for the price I paid or do the price adjustment, not just told me all sales are final.

We used Tickets At Work 9 days ago to purchase tickets for a Cirque Du Soleil event happening in San Francisco, CA, since they presumably give 'discounts' on such events. Tickets were 83$ each. They said we should receive the tickets by email in the near future. The show is tonight and we still haven't received our tickets. We tried to call customer service for more information 2 days ago, stayed 30 min on the line then abandoned. Sent 2 emails to their customer service within the last 3 days, no response. When we finally reached someone this morning after waiting 45 min on the phone, the person plays dumb and says we should have already received them, and acts like she is doing us some kind of favor by sending us our 166$ worth of tickets. Just to point out that this is a repeating pattern in all the reviews for Tickets At Work and they basically do things like this to everybody.
Reviews by Elliot of Phoenix, AZ on Nov. 3, 2014 and Kevin of Ashburn, VA on Nov. 11, 2014 below state the exact opposite experience, and are obviously bogus reviews made by the company, whoever is in charge of this 'consumer affairs' website should do something about it (Hint: Nobody uses the term 'TAW' to discuss 'Tickets at Work' except the people working there, as if it was a well known and respected organization, which it isn't). I am not sure how this fraudulent company was able to convince major events to run with them, but there is obviously something sketch and an investigation should be made. In other words, you will probably save time and do good to the community by calling the cops directly rather than giving away your money to Tickets at Work.
We recently saw your post on consumeraffairs.com and apologize for your previous experience. However, we looked in our system and we did not have any records of an order with your information. We would like to discuss your experience as there seems to be some concerns, and in representing Cirque du Soleil corporate sales, we can assure you that our pricing is the most favorable pricing available. We also take our customer service very seriously so we would like to better understand what happened. We look forward to hearing back from you to discuss your specifics- can you share your order ID or what name you placed an order under? Thank you

I live in Canada and my employer has an affiliation with Tickets at Work. I notice their Best Rate Guarantee when I book a hotel. My mistake was thinking the price was in Canadian dollars, so I thought I got the best price. I did the conversion to Canadian dollars, and the price ended up being higher, in addition to their taxes and fees (which doubled the hotel's taxes and fees). I called asking about their Best Rate Guarantee, as there is no mention of their policy about it on their website as far as I could tell, and the person on the phone had me on hold for over 40 minutes waiting for a manager. I busied myself while I was waiting and apparently missed my opportunity to speak to the manager unless I wanted to be put on hold again. I asked for the manager's name and phone number, and the woman said she couldn't give me. I asked if there was a head office number I could call and she said she could give it to me. Now it's been over an hour and I have yet to receive any confirmation of my booking, but I do know my credit card was charged. If this is the kind of sketchy service they provide, I'm extremely concerned as they now have my credit card information.

Attempted to purchase tickets to Medieval Times in Dallas, TX area. The site kept saying my credit card was invalid. I used two separate ones and tried 3 times. Looked at my account and they charged $1.35, $1.10 and $1.85. Called customer service no answer. Sent an email through their "contact us" and no response. I'm going to count the charges as fraudulent and never use their site again. Bogus website and crooks!

I have used Tickets At Work in the past through my employer and I have never had any complaints.. except this last time. I reserved a hotel in Orlando. When I got to the hotel, they asked me in the front desk for a fee of $107.00 for a suppose "cleaning fee". I am meticulous at all times when I book online to check multiple sites and read every dropbox small letter I can find in order to avoid hidden fees! Nowhere in the website did it mention anything about any extra fees. I was stuck paying the $107.00 fee. I told the front desk I was not aware of this fee and they said to contact Tickets At Work. When I contacted Tickets At Work, they had HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. I eventually spoke to a manager MIRANDA who was extremely rude and barely let me explain my situation. I will never use them again..they just lost a loyal customer who travels a lot! Not to mention when I called, I was on hold for 30 minutes. BEWARE OF HIDDEN FEES.

Booked a San Francisco Explorer Pass for my son and I with TicketsatWork last winter. Great visit and my experience of printing out vouchers for my son and I and then submitting it in SF to get our passes was actually fairly easy. When I called TAW to get a little more information on the pass, I had no trouble reaching someone and didn't have to wait on hold forever. I've only used TAW once, but for the time that I did, I don't have any complaints.

Had a refreshing, actually positive customer experience with Tickets At Work. My family and I have been wanting to go to Universal Orlando Halloween Horror Nights forever and finally this year, we ordered tickets. Easy point and click experience. The Horror Nights advertisement was right on the front page of Tickets At Works website and when I called TAWs helpline to get a little more information on the event, the TAW rep was more than helpful. Easy experience and there's no reason why I wouldn't want to use their website to book a more extended vacation/trip.

It is truly rare that a company works so hard to resolve a problem. Ticketsatwork reached out to me, apologized, and made it right. I am 100% satisfied and now I will resume using Ticketsatwork. Wow, I am really stunned how much they care, I guess I was wrong in my initial review and wish I could take it back.

The problem I was trying to solve was minor and doesn't even really deserve comment. What was so appalling was the customer service. Miranda, evidently a manager, was combative right off the bat, and only got worse. She was so bad that there is no way that management doesn't know about this. It leads me to believe that there is a culture of being rude to the customer as a way of maximizing profits - be rude and hopefully they will just give up their complaint. It reflects on the whole company. NEVER USE THIS SERVICE! It is simply not worth the chance that you will have to call this horrific customer service. I know that seems like a over-emotive word, but it was truth horrific, I have had days of being upset at how rudely, and unjustly rudely, I was treated.

I just returned from a trip to Florida 10/16/2014-10/21/2014 where I stayed at the Wyndham Orlando Resort International Drive (8001 International DR, Orlando, FL 32819). I exhausted all my usual resources for hotels but since I was booking late in September my choices were limited. I decided to look at Tickets At Work for hotels and prices and was amazed at how low their prices were. I chose the Wyndham Orlando Resort International Drive because it was one of the "choice" hotels and the price was $91.80 per night. The total was $459.00 Hotel Recovery & Fees were $207.38. Total Price was $666.38. Hotel Recovery almost doubled the amount of the stay. But the fees weren't completed at check in, another $17.95 per night in resort fees would be charged at check out for various things like internet access, local and toll-free calls, turn down service and other inclusive amenities (Direct quote from the receipt).
Turn Down Service. If I paid for turn down service then I certainly did Not get money's worth - There was No Turn Down Service At All. The floors in the rooms are not carpeted (not sure if it's a plus or not but they did not look washed). The day of check in I found a plastic tag holder (for new clothes) that should've been swept up and mopped up. The bottom of the shower curtain had mold on it - without question needed to be changed. I found a Palmetto Bug crawling up the wall on another day and had the disgusting pleasure of killing it. The walls are paper thin, no exaggeration - you can hear everyone's conversations on both sides of you and if you are blessed as I was to have someone above you forget about sleeping because all you'll hear is the pounding of their feet or the rolling of their suitcase - I think the person above me was the worst. I have stayed in many hotels and have never experienced such a lack of soundproofing.
On Monday it was 2:15pm and my room still had not been cleaned, there was also no housekeeping cart in sight. When I spoke to someone about it, they passively asked if I would like someone to go there now to clean it? It's 2:15, when did he think I wanted someone to come? At Checkout?
There were Never any towels at the pool. Never Ever. Resort Fees? Last but I feel was the most important - The first night when I got to my room I decided to ask for more blankets, I picked up the phone to call the front desk and there was no dial tone, nothing. I jiggled the wire and still nothing. I called the front desk with my cell phone alerting them of the problem and of my request for blankets. They returned with a replacement phone. The phone was still intermittent as far as I was concerned. The eve of checkout I wanted to call the front desk to request a wake up call and the phone was not working. I had to repeat the whole cycle from the first night. This phone seemed to be working but of course I now have huge reservations as to it's dependability. Funny thing though wasn't the phone part of the resort fees? Some people would say that the phone really isn't an issue since most people will use their phones to set an alarm. That should not be the only option available. There was an alarm clock but funny thing, the alarm function would not work at all - the hotel probably knows the walls are so thin that the alarm would wake up the rooms next to yours!!
My parents do not have a smart phone and rely on alarm clocks or wake up calls. What about in the event of an emergency a guest should be able to push one button and have the front desk on the phone. Are all of these issues the reason why the line item is called Hotel Recovery Fees? The hotel knows of these issues and needs to overcharge guests in an attempt to start fixing these issues? No matter what or why their reason as you can see from my experience I feel robbed of my money, my trust in any Wyndham hotel and have learned my lesson regarding booking through Tickets At Work. For Tickets At Work to state that this was a "special low rate" and then have the audacity to blast you with such exuberant fees is disgraceful.

Tickets @ Work is NOT a discount site. They simply do not show the resort fees that will be due upon arrival. If you call Tickets@Work and ask, they will play dumb and tell you that "they aren't sure, but don't think there are extra resort fees." I am calling to cancel right now and will refuse to pay the $25 cancellation fee. DO NOT USE TICKETS AT WORK. Priceline, Kayak, etc. are all better.

I purchased 8 tickets for Aquatica in San Diego at 0840 AM in September 2014 to treat my relatives during their vacation. Unbeknown to me, the park was closed that day! To their disappointment, we had to do other activities (which were not as fun as the water park would have been). I emailed them the same day pleading and begging (money was tough) to request for either an extension of exp date, or a refund. The response I got from "Maddi" was "we are unable to make any changes, cancellations or provide refunds for any tickets purchased."
So basically, they took my money in exchange for nothing? I got no service or product for $273.12! Granted I should have checked the site first for park schedules (it was hot in San Diego and it was a Thursday so I had not reason to think), and I admit that responsibility, it would have been good customer service to just extend the exp date to more than 4 days to enable me to give them away or give as gifts. Why are they still in business with poor customer service? This company would only benefit you unless you are absolutely sure you are getting exactly what you want and what you are paying for!!!

This place is a total scam as others have stated. We purchased tickets to a Dolphins game for $69.00 each that were suppose to be $134.00 tickets in the lower level. What I got were tickets 5 rows from the top in the upper level with a printed value of $60.00 on the ticket. I checked online and can buy tickets 20 rows closer for $40.00 each. On top of that I paid $70.00 plus in taxes and fees! They will be of no help if you call, as stated in all the other reviews. Bottom line, STAY AWAY! There are many more reputable places out there to get your tickets!

We purchased tickets to Radio City Christmas Spectacular in NY City for a date in December. There were two options available when purchasing: $65 for "side orchestra", $75 for "orchestra." Having never used this vendor before, I called the vendor directly to inquire the definition of side orchestra and orchestra to know which sections equated to which ticket prices. Also how the ticket allocation worked and we completely understood that we do NOT know the seat numbers or rows, etc. beforehand. We purchased the $75 tickets since the lady told us it would be in section 3, 4, or 5 (the middle sections), and that the lower priced tickets were side tickets (Sections 1, 2, 6, 7). I wish I had of gotten her name but I didn't, I only wrote down the pricing and sections.
Me: "Hello, I purchased tickets to a show in New York and I just received my e-tickets now and they are wrong."
Rep: "I have to inform you we do not offer refunds or exchanges."
Me: "That's fine, I don't need a refund I just paid for higher priced tickets and got the lower priced ones."
Rep: "Let me repeat, we do not offer refunds or exchanges."
I was dumbfounded at how this is the response a customer service rep would give to the issue that wrong tickets were issued. No offer to look into the issue to see if it is legitimate, no offer for what I can do to verify the tickets, etc. I had to ask for a manager (obviously) and the manager said she cannot look into my account and she would create a request to the 3rd party company that issues the tickets (this in itself is super sketchy) and it would be 3 business days for them to verify if my tickets were correct. I tried to explain that it said $65 on my tickets, offered to forward them to her email along with my invoice for the $75, explained the side orchestra and orchestra and she just said there is nothing she can do (this is concerning if the manager can't even look into any potential issues). 3 days later, no call back as promised but new e-tickets sent to our email. We opened the tickets, and they are still the wrong section - but NOW they have posted $75 on the ticket instead of the $65 that was there before.
I do see a lot of complaints about people purchasing the wrong tickets and therefore the customer is at fault, etc. But I can assure you that I have the invoice for the correct seats purchased and separate from that I directly talked to a sales rep at the vendor to get all of the information before making the purchase. I was never trying to get a refund or anything else against their policy, I simply was looking to get the tickets that I had proof or purchase for. Since this company is through corporate work perks, it never occurred to us that it could be a fraudulent scam type of website. We now know that we were fooled, and we have contacted the corporate perks to inform them to remove this vendor.
It is very appalling how this has been handled. If you work for Tickets At Work: I completely understand that you have multiple customers a day complaining and arguing with you, people who purchase wrong things and then try to get a refund, etc. It is too bad in my instance that you would not give it the time of day to realize someone on the ticketing end had messed up, and that the customer was not at fault. I understand it is natural to take the defensive approach but if you work in customer service, especially if you are a manager, you should learn to treat each case differently and you should uphold customer purchases with the correct tickets issued. I'm not even asking you to be apologetic like in real customer service, but to just issue what was paid for.

They don't post any extra information about the products they are selling or representing. Their policies are not suitable for the companies they want to represent.

I did not want my money back or to cancel the tickets but just to change it for what I thought I had purchased which was 2 Adult tickets to the Zoo. It would have been more money and I was happy to pay the difference to get what I originally wanted, but when I spoke to the manager, she did absolutely NOTHING!

Tickets At Work is deceitful and can catch the unaware shopper off guard.

I had no problems the one time I used Tickets At Work. I purchased some Disneyland 4-day passes, they worked, and when I asked someone at the Disneyland ticket booth if we could apply the credit to annual passes they said "yes" (iirc - we didn't actually get the passes). All fair and good, and we saved I think about $10 each for the tickets.
That's not the problem. The real problem is that T.A.W. presents itself as providing major savings when, in fact, it does not - at least not for Disney passes. Take their current offer of $465 for a Disneyland Deluxe Annual Pass. This seems to compare quite well to Disneyland's own site's offer of $499. That's $136 savings if you're buying passes for a family of four. The difference is that if you click through to buy the passes at Disneyland (try it - enter bogus info if you must) you'll notice that Disneyland adds no taxes or fees of any kind - $499 means $499. Click through to buy at Tickets At Work and you'll get a "taxes and fees" surcharge of $32.23, making your total savings $1.77 per pass. To make matters worse, you've now inserted a middle man between you and the Mouse.
Some defend these charges as taxes that Tickets At Work must pay in its home state of Florida. Not true. Click on the "taxes and fees" explanation and read the fine print: "For purchases of admissions in jurisdictions outside of the states in which our Company operates, the 'taxes and fees' may include a tax recovery charge equal to the amount billed to us by our travel suppliers for any sales taxes and/or governmental fees assessed. ANY REMAINING AMOUNT INCLUDED IN 'TAXES AND FEES' AFTER SALES TAX AND/OR THE TAX RECOVERY CHARGE EFFECTIVELY REPRESENTS A SERVICE FEE CHARGED BY US (emphasis mine). For a detailed breakdown of 'taxes and fees', click here." If in fact you do 'click there,' you will find that there are taxes of $0.00. All the extra money is for fees. All of it.
This isn't to bash what may be a fine company. I have no complaints about it. The fees may very well represent T.A.W.'s only source of income. All I'm saying is caveat emptor. Check those other sites to ensure you're really getting a good deal, and if you do have customer service problems (and again, I'm not saying you will), remember you can always threaten to take the issue up with your employer's H.R. department.

I purchased 2 Annual Power Passes to Universal Studios through Tickets at Work. There is a Florida Resident Promotion that includes a three month extension on each pass and when I called Tickets at Work they told me I could contact Universal Guest Services to apply the extension. I purchased their passes then called Universal Orlando to confirm they would apply the 3 month extension. No luck! Shame on me for not verifying with Universal first.
This is when the fun begins... First, Tickets at Work tells me there is a NO REFUND policy so they can't help. Once I speak with a manager and threaten a charge back, they are suddenly able to cancel the tickets... with a 10% penalty. Really???? I called them 10 minutes after I made the purchase before the tickets were ever issued so there is absolutely no reason why a full refund shouldn't be processed. I then had to ask Crystal 3 times before she agreed to send me an email confirming the cancellation (at the 10% penalty). Tickets at Work's customer service is poor at best. Steer clear of this company!

I made a reservation by phone for a Fab Deluxe Room at a hotel in Las Vegas NV. There were 3 rates presented at various prices. I usually stay at the less expensive room, however since it was my wife's birthday the agent suggested the more expensive which would be nicer. At the hotel they advised me there was only one Fab Deluxe room regardless what price I paid. Therefore I paid the highest price plus an upgrading price for a better room. I originally chose TicketsAtWork because I was quoted a price of $504.82 for the stay. The hotel quoted a price of $540.00. However, the confirmation showed an additional charge of $106.08 for a hotel recovery fee. The hotel was not aware of any fee except for a Resort Fee which I paid. On return I called and was advise this was the travel agency fee, so the room ended up costing $610.90 plus about $140.00 for an upgrade. What a deal! I hope this prevents this happening to someone else.

The firm I work for, steered me to Tickets At Work. In August 2013, I ordered 8 Cinemark Theatre (movie) tickets & a Lion King on Broadway ticket. The Lion King ticket ($118) was printable so it did not need to be mailed. When I saw the play in late September, the ticket I was given at the box office showed a price of $112 including all taxes & fees so there was a difference of $6, no big deal. The 8 movies tickets (8 x $7.50=$60) were shipped to me by UPS with a shipping/handling fee of $8.95; that's a 15% charge for shipping/handling! I mean couldn't they just put them in an envelope and mail them by the USPS for 47 cents? I receive gift cards in the mail all the time worth far more the these movie tickets! It's Tickets At Work's way of inflating their profit! Besides that on top of $6 & $8.95, I was assessed another $17.29 for "taxes & fees" or 14.7% on the $178.00 subtotal! If you're still following me, that's a grand total of $32.24 on a face value of $172 of tickets or 18.7% for "shipping/handling" of 8 movie tickets & "other taxes & fees." Sounds pretty expensive to me & literally wipes out any savings by using this company! I will not use them again!

I see that they are adding their own personal taxes and fees. I was about to purchase 2 adult and 1 child 4-day pass to Disneyland with a magic morning. I found that it cost over $53 in fees. So my total went from $758 to over $811. When I went onto the DLand website to purchase them directly, the taxes and fees are built into the price of the ticket. So would you like to know what my grand savings would have been if I had went through TAW? $23.73, that's it. It's not even enough to purchase a meal for three at Baja Fresh. Certainly not worth the stress and disappointment of worrying if they would screw up my entire family vacation... I have noticed that customer service is either non-existent or they operate in opposite world.
Save yourself the trouble and just purchase from the source or a reliable broker that can set up your vacation for you. That's the route I m going for. Too bad TAW is so deceptive and worthless.

This company is a scam. They don't give you a refund or they take a huge percent off from the price as a cost of refund!!! They get some cheap tickets and sell it for a full price. Also, you are not able to pick up the tickets until an hour before the show. You cannot buy it and give it to someone else as a gift. Susan was so rude on the phone and even though I tried to be nice and was quiet she was the one who was blaming me for doing the order with them. I hope someone sues these guys because of these bad business practices.
We recently saw your post on consumeraffairs.com and apologize for your previous experience. However, we looked in our system and we did not have any records of an order with your information. We would like to discuss your experience as there seems to be some concerns, and in representing thousands of corporations and entertainment brands, we can assure you that we take customer service very seriously so we would like to better understand what happened.

I purchased tickets through Tickets at Work for the Las Vegas Cirque Du Soleil Mystere show on July 6. My confirmation showed July 6, but when I showed up to the box office, the date had been input in their computer as July 16 by Tickets at Work. The show was sold out, so the box office had to call Tickets At Work and confirm the issue with them before providing us with seats. This took an hour to resolve, at which point we missed the beginning of the show. They seated us in the very side section of the theater in Category 2 seats, for which I still have to tickets they printed at the box office.
I called to ask for a partial refund due to the error and was informed that they talked to the box office and the box office told them we had been upgraded to Category 1 seats and they would not refund me. I told the manager that this was untrue and I had the tickets to prove it, but she insisted that was because they were my original tickets. This made no sense, as the ushers would never have allowed us to sit in seats we did not have the printed tickets for and she refused to accept that we were not upgraded. When I asked them to provide the seat numbers that they believe we sat in for the upgraded tickets, she would not do so.
This was the worst customer service from a manager I have ever received and will never use this service again. The discount was far from worth it and I don't appreciate a company blatantly lying and blaming it on me.

I suspect she has been through this many times due to deceptive or old websites. Due do deceptive web page, I want full refund for unused tickets/vouchers. Beware - website might entice you with great marketing then change the actual service you receive when you purchase.
Beware - No return policy. Tickets have your name on it so you can't give or sell it to someone else. If you read other complaints on this site, you see they are extremely unreasonable. Also, consider their website pages are not accurate or may lack important information. Consider that as buyers, vendors/sellers must provide accurate details of the services/product they are selling. They cannot create a web page emphasizing one product with bold lettering then casually sell you something else when you go to purchase said service/product. That is called bait and switch.

I recently used TicketsAtWork for purchasing several Go Miami Cards for $336.98. The final purchase price included tax, and service fee was not much of a savings from some public website purchases. The worst part is on cancellation. We had a medical emergency. My son got appendicitis on the day of departure (we live in California). He was admitted to the hospital right away and had surgery next day. We had to cancel the trip to Miami as the winter break was too short for make-up. While I had no problem talking to other travel agencies to re-arrange the booking or getting refund, I had a huge trouble talking to TicketsAtWork on the cancellation, refund, transfer or change of voucher (voucher only valid for 3 months).
Being 1,800 miles away, there is no way to make a trip within three months while kids are in school. I tried to email and call them. First, they wouldn't return my email with all supporting documents in it. Second, when I talked to the manager on the line, he was rude and said he talked to me when he never did. I think he simply prepared to reject me from start. Overall, it was bad experience. The same city pass advertised on other website has cancellation guarantee on it. So it is not worth it to go with TicketsAtWork.

Tickets At Work has horrible customer service! We ordered Universal Orlando tickets trusting that we would get a discount but found the same tickets for less money on the Universal site. The scam is that they save you over the gate price! They also have a 4-hour waiting period for e-tickets. Second bigger issue - we ordered e-tickets and were told when we called it would take 24-48 hours to get them shipped. To any other person, shipping tickets would apply to tickets mailed but they have a rule that says it takes 4 hours to get the e-ticket. That is never stated on any terms and conditions! When we asked, we first were hung up on. Then we were given a supervisor that just kept repeating that the terms and conditions state 24-48 hours, but we should get them in 4 hours. Where is that stated anywhere?
I asked what I should tell my 5-year-old as we sit and wait 4 hours on the only day I am here to visit. I trusted a site that doesn't care about anyone. I even offered to drive to their office to pick them up and was told no because I didn't clearly read the terms and conditions and ordered e-tickets, not tickets to be picked up.

These guys are awful. Here's our story (hope you're ready to read): We arrived at the Holiday Inn Waikiki Beachcomber Hotel at 8:50 am expecting our bus to arrive at 9 am to pick us up as scheduled; the Polynesian Adventure Tours bus didn't pull up to the hotel until almost 9:30 am. When it did, the driver wasn't even sure if my wife and I were going to be allowed on the bus and had to call in to make sure we actually had paid for the tour ("They're not organized," I thought - already a bad sign). The bus we got on took us to another half-full bus a few blocks away to the east, and the driver told us to get on that bus instead; once we got on the 2nd bus, the driver informed us that the guy who is supposed to be narrating our drive to Pearl Harbor (an employee named "Buddy") had not shown up for work, so we drove in silence to the Pearl Harbor Visitor's Center (Strike one).
We make it to Pearl Harbor fine, and were told to make our way back to the pick-up area around 12:30 pm for a 12:45 pm departure. My wife and I walked back and arrived at the pick-up spot right at 12:30, where we saw most of the people from our bus waiting as well. 12:45 rolled around, and there was no bus to be found - and the few Polynesian Adventure Tours employees in the area refused to tell us what was going on with our bus (I don't think they knew either). The bus didn't arrive until almost 1:15 pm; they told us that the bus we had come in on had mechanical troubles and had to return to headquarters. Okay, so, you had hours to find a backup bus, and you're still 30 minutes late picking us up? (Strike two). We got on the 3rd bus with a whole new driver; he could tell we were upset because of a lack of communication from PAT (and the 30-minute wait in the heat).
He was a little ruffled, as well: he told us that his shift was over but PAT asked him to work overtime and finish our tour. He was upbeat and happy, though, and had lots of great information - he was trying to turn the day around, bless his heart! - but some people were clearly still upset about having to wait a half-hour in the heat at Pearl Harbor. The driver took us up to the Punchbowl Memorial, then back down to Iolani Palace, where he turned off the bus for 10 minutes while we got off to walk around and see the sights. We all got back on the bus, and - click, click, click, click - the battery was dead! The driver tried everything he could think of, and called PAT's shops to see if there was a replacement bus that could come pick us up at Iolani Palace. They said yes, and that it should be there in 15 minutes. By this point, around half of the people on the bus have just totally bailed out; they called for cabs and started walking, clearly ** off about how screwed up this tour has turned out to be, and were not willing to wait for a fourth bus to complete the tour.
The other half of us who were left and had some patience thought, "We can wait 15 minutes if it means we don't have to walk several miles back to our hotels." Forty-five minutes later, the replacement bus (the 4th of the day, mind you) arrived and took the rest of us back to the hotels to drop us off - more than an hour after we were supposed to be back (Strike three). As you can imagine, this is not how we wanted to spend most of a day on our Hawaiian vacation, where time is already precious and there is so much to do. We drove 90 minutes each way from the North Shore to take this tour, and we felt like it was one of the most disorganized and disappointing parts of our entire trip. Now, you might think this review is about Polynesian Adventure Tours (and it partly is), but here's where TicketsAtWork factors in.
After detailing this awful experience to them - a tour where clearly nothing went right - they refused to give us a refund of any kind. They basically said, "Sorry you had a bad tour. Thanks for giving us your money anyways. Go away now." These guys have screwed so many people out of so much money - why isn't there a class action against them? Any attorneys out there want to take these guys on? Please?

I purchased dinner show tickets and was told immediately after the purchase to call the number on the back of the tickets to make reservations. They have no available reservations during the time period that we are on vacation so we asked the manager to cancel the transaction five minutes after the purchase. He says he cannot and will not. Tickets cost $238.99 and they have no reservations to offer us while we are in Orlando on vacation. This company is a scam!
