Before I decided to buy my ticket for Big Bang's MADE 2019 World Tour, I've done quite some research on the internet about which is the safest way (based on reviews and personal experience) to buy tickets. Because of my limited budget, I had no choice but to get second-hand tickets through a reseller site.
After doing extensive research based on experiences posted by other users in various ticket-selling websites and forums, and reading lots and lots of reviews (both positive and negative), it all boiled down to two sites: Etickets and Viagogo .
At first, I was planning to purchase through Etickets because they seemed legit from their website; however, after hearing news about Etickets cancelling orders without any proper explanation (search it up, I'm sure you will find articles about this) and receiving poor reviews from other users, I decided to purchase through Viagogo instead.
Doing research on the price of Big Bang's tickets, Etickets had the cheapest price (P18500 for VIP). Both sites were almost identical in terms of pricing; therefore, I chose the website with cheaper prices. Unfortunately, Etickets turned out to be a big disappointment.
Heck, they didn't even bother to make a proper reply nor did they apologize for their actions. To add more insult to injury, they actually lied because I read online some reviews from people who had issues with Etickets and got their money back after filing disputes on Paypal . They also stated that at least one of Big Bang's members' tickets were already sent out but according to this article (June 23rd), none of them were sent out yet.
Anyway, what they did to me was unfair and I decided not to let it go without a fight. And since they made me wait for almost three weeks before even replying my emails (while still charging me the full amount) is basically money wasted on their part. After filing my second dispute with Paypal , it only took a day for them to send my tickets via FedEx (June 30th).
When it comes to purchasing concert tickets, there are many different options that come into play. It's important to be aware of all the risks and differences between these sites so you can make an informed decision about where you want to purchase your Big Bang tour tickets. To start off, Etickets is a site that offers affordable prices with some great benefits like VIP seating arrangements; however, they also have poor customer service which resulted in my experience being less than satisfactory.
