  • It’s saying 9.95 shipping and handling for me

    • sorry taking the $9.95 fee off now. Try again :)

  • wow this is ridiculously cheap

    • Bargain!

  • Got charged an extra $9.95, how long does it take for the email to come through with the tickets usually?

    • Hi tickets will be emailed when our office opens in the morning :)

      Thanks

      • Thanks, any chance of refunding the 9.95 too?

        • Sure - apologies we've taken it off now and will refund the $9.95 on sending

    It's either a dreadful business name or a scam. Tread carefully.

    • That's not very nice Gav!

      • +3

        You have a name that's a blatant rip off of a major brand, and you make regular mistakes (as shown in this and previous "deals"). To top it off, this is a charity event where you're offering heavily reduced price tickets. Everything adds up to shoddy. Viagogo is technically a "secondary resale site" too!

        • We have been in business for 10 years. We are an authorised partner of the AFL, Australian Grand Prix, NBL and a number of other sporting bodies. Anyway - good day, your loss is another persons gain!

    Is this a scam? The official website lists Ticketmaster as the official ticketing agent

  • Still showing the $9.95 delivery fee - can this be removed - dont want to have to chase a refund…

    • Can't seem to remove the $9.95. Will need to get our IT team to fix it. We will refund the $9.95 component on sending the tickets to all customers :)

  • Just ordered and was charged the $9.95 fee. Will you just be refunding everyone in bulk?

    Based on reviews it sounds like Ticket Blaster is at best unethical, and at worst a scam. I’ll be avoiding this deal to play it safe.

      Every negative review complains that Ticketblaster sold tickets above face value. You barely need a pulse to know that even a nosebleed section ticket for the Comedy Gala is worth more than $33.

      • How can they afford to sell tickets at below face value? Something seems a bit off

        • +3

          Doesn't surprise me that 2 days before the show they want to sell off all remaining tickets, given that it is filmed and they will want to ensure a full house. However, oxfam/the organisers won't want to do that through Ticketek, because they might still be able to sell dress circle tickets at full price.

            @xyron: Hey we found someone who understands supply and demand!

  • Just purchased 2. Thanks OP!
    Is the seat selection at random?

    • Hi Nathan yes it is. All seats in the dress circle up the top unfortuantely but for $33 its a steal!

  • Hi Ticketblaster,
    Just purchased 7x tickets - Let me know when the confirmation email comes through :)

  • Well, it's nearly 10.30, can we get an indication on when the tickets are going to come through?

  • +2

    Just confirming for others, my tickets were just emailed through along with the refund for $9.95 for the shipping. I ordered about 11pm last night.

    • Ordered mine at 10:14PM, no sign of them yet, fingers crossed ;p EDIT: ARRIVED :)

    • Good seats? Could give them an upvote at least!

      What time did they send through?

      Still waiting for my tickets and refund. :(

      • +1

        Orded 10:14PM last night, received them 10:42AM no sign or indication of the $9.95 refund (I payed through PayPal) this morning 2 x Tickets, seated together, Dress circle so up top, and I'd say from the row/number near back, but at 33 a ticket for this hard to get into event, I'm not fussed.

        Checked seats, in the middle, about two thirds from front row

        • Just got mine too, no refund of the $9.95 fee yet though.

          We're in Row Z.

          Impromptu OzBargain meetup? :D

    • Received my tickets but no sign of a refund of shipping fee yet.

      • Update: I received notification that a refund has been processed on the shipping fee.

  • So if I want to take a date, I mostly likely won't be sitting next to her? Thanks

    • No, if you request two tickets you will be seated together

  • I bought the tickets but like others they have applied a shipping fee…Did anyone get any refund of the shipping fees??

    • I asked and they said they would be processed today - I'm still waiting for mine

      • Bought the tickets as well and said they would process it when they send the tickets. Got the tickets but no refund yet.

        • I emailed them and got the refund today. Very happy with the service received.

  • Received tickets and the shipping fee refund within an hour of purchase

  • Hi OP I have not received the shipping refund as yet, but it seems new orders are receiving it?

  • Got tickets for about six rows from the front of Dress Circle (in the corner though) and they appear to be Ticketmaster tickets, seems alright. If any issues that's what chargebacks are for. $9.95 refund received (I mentioned ozbargain in the order comments).

  • anymore tickets available?

  • Still no refund for my $9.95 shipping…can a rep please contact me about this?

    • Just contact them direct via [email protected] with your order details.

      • Just got the refund then. I already emailed them yesterday afternoon to no response.

        Really looking forward to the show!

  • Tickets worked fine, no issues with this seller

  • So bought these tickets and got rejected at the door saying that tickets were manipulated. Don't trust ticketblaster !

    Any idea on how I can get my money back ?

    • Did you ask to have them scanned off your phone? Your print out might have been bad.

      Email ticketblaster, maybe the ticket generation messed up on ticketmaster's side.

      • Printed out the ticket and when box office looked at the tickets they immediately said that someone had changed them. Both tickets were apparently manipulated. I'm following up with ticket master plus the palais theatre gave me a form stating that my tickets were cancelled tickets

  • Tickets worked for me..

  • Tickets worked for me, plus I got refunded the shipping. No complaints from me

  • Tickets worked fine for me
