Where do I begin...

This is from a former employee of Box Office Ticket Sales. 

This company uses SEO generated leads, and tricks unknowing and unwilling people into using their services. Using high pressure sales tactics and flat out lies, people are manipulated into using these people as a "good" source for buying their tickets to events. 

They have their headquarters in Omaha, NE. They hold an office of sales representatives in Chicago IL and both the owner and co-owner are both currently running an office is Miami Florida. 

When I say SEO, I mean search engine optimization. This company pays outrageous amounts of money to have their phone number pop up first in all major search engines such as bing or google. This number then leads to one of their call centers. The employees are literally taught and forced to misrepresent themselves. They may not outright say that they are NOT the venue you are trying to call, but they will use very clever and manipulative measures to get you to trust them (which you absolutely should not). As soon as you call, the tickets you found online are suddenly "gone" or "those seats are not together, don't you want to sit with your children?!" Or some other shady sales line is used to trick people into paying far too much for seats to an event.

they then collect your information and credit card number, with a promise that your tickets will arrive soon. A few problems with this..

Many, MANY venues have banned any sales from this company. Meanibg, that any tickets you pay inflated prices for, are often unattainable for Box Office Ticket Sales. This causes them to purchase large amounts of visa gift cards, both in Canadian and American dollars. They then will use YOUR NAME AND INFORMATIONto register these cards and buy tickets to your event, all while paying a small fraction of what you paid them, thus turning a profit, and ripping you off. And that may very well be some major form of fraud or identity theft. 

 If they were able to buy tickets themselves, then they just edit their names off of the tickets. In fact, there's an entire department paid to edit tickets, so as not to give up the identity of the actual purchaser or the real price of the tickets. These people teach every person in the organization to be a liar, con artist and a fake. No single person in this company should be trusted. 

Need more proof? American Express has dropped them as a vendor. If you call this company and try to purchase with an Amex, they will come up with some bogus excuse as to why they can't accept Amex anymore. The truth is, they literally cannot process anamex  because they are far too risky of a company to work with. AKA they are a HUGE risk for chargebacks. 

Meanwhile, this owners if this company hold their sales representatives at fault for these issues and literally make them PAY ($$$$$) for these mistakes, but that is another issue completely which I plan on taking to the right people. 

 A long story short, this company is complete fraud. Always, always ask the person on the other line if they are who they say they are and make sure the call is recorded. Say the right things and you won't get burned.
