| - I purchased 2 sets of tickets through these guys.
First, Circus 1906. Didn't love the show but that's not TIx4Tonight's fault. No problems with the tickets. All good.
We also purchased tickets to WOW and here's where the problem kicked in. We asked for the 9:00 show, which is what we purchased (and confirmed via the printed receipt). Per instruction, we left the Fashion Show Mall booth and headed to the LINQ promenade, as we were told we'd obtain better seats by doing so (as opposed to presenting to the box office an hour before the show). We picked up our printed tickets to WOW a day ahead of time at around 11:00 in the morning.
So, day of WOW comes and we arrive at the Rio at approximately 7:45. We pull out the tickets to see which theater we need to go to and realize it says a 7:00 showing. Um... Not okay.
After a kind and professional lecture that the tickets were booked via a third party and we'd need to contact them directly for assistance, the Rio staff finagled a way to adjust our tickets and get us into the show. (They were awesome!) We had the good fortune of being there on a night when seats were still available and meeting people who were willing to help. I would guess on another night our luck would have not been so great.
As for that need to go to the LINQ promenade to get the better seats, we had the worst chairs in the house. And, before you say but they squeezed you in, we were booked in the EXACT same seats for both shows. Sham it was.
Who knows. The lady at the LINQ promenade seemed like she was not enjoying life, so perhaps we just ran into a crappy situation. It was not pleasant. It was stressful. Will I use Tix4Tonight again? Hmm... don't know. I'd probably try other resources first. That being said, a budgets a budget... Sigh.
