TD Place's website doesn't give you a direct number for the box office, instead it's to a ticketing hotline. I called them, and over two days of speaking to three different people, it seems they were only taught to say "we don't give refunds and there's nothing we can do" which is of course total bullshit since Ticketmaster does refunds all the time. They can shove their own policies especially when the Nightrain password didn't work on their site. I decided to test them and say fine, upgrade me to Paradise City so I get the pit tickets anyways. "Sorry we can't do that" is all I got. They don't want extra money either? So finally after an unnecessarily long phone call they told me to call guest services. Guest services? "Oh no problem here's the direct number to the guy who runs the box office." Why was that so difficult? In the mean time I verified with Live Nation's fan number that yes, a refund can be done but that technically they can't access TD Place's ticket sales so it needs to be done by them. They too were greatly confused why nobody on TD's ticketing hotline would offer the direct box office number. The guy I spoke to direct at TD Place said he's got to run it through the promoter (I assume he means Live Nation) and will get back to me ASAP. He was easy to talk to and got it. He was equally confused why nobody would give out his direct number. Basically, this was the TD ticketing hotline: I've also been bitching on the Nightrain about it. There's already a bitchfest there about how Ottawa's website sucked for the password so it seems I'm not alone. After all this, I hope to see you guys and girls in the pit! im trying the same thing now but w/ my montreal ticket--I wonder if they have same policy as you've been thru? But of course since it's Montreal I expect more difficulty. I purchased Zone 1 on presale (as they had no pit left; I bought it after 30min the presale started as I bought other concert tix and I wasn't 100% sure I'd go to Montreal as well)...then for General Public I ended up getting pit. so Now I have an extra Zone 1 that I'd like to refund. So far the "customer service" said they don't take refunds. I asked for the Box Office/Guest service # and they said this was it...she checked w/ her supervisor but they gave an excuse like the 1st and 2nd ticket purchase were a few days apart...as if that would make a difference anyways. I explained the 1st was pre-sale, 2nd was general public. I will try calling again but I am doubtful...she just told me try to sell it to someone else...

Typically I find upgrades and changing seats are no problem, especially through Ticketmaster, but flat out refunds might be a different story. In my case, the ticketing hotline wouldn't budge but when they finally gave me the number for the direct box office it was done the same day.

BigD62 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Last year i bought an upgrade for the Orlando show. I tried to refund my original ticket and they wouldn't because i bought it in the presale. So i had them refund my upgraded ticket and kept the crappie presale ticket. I think if you bought it in presale you are stuck with it. This was my experience anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually get presale tickets and a few times I've checked and get this runaround. I've had once where they let me upgrade presale tickets.

BigD62 Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Can't wait for Ottawa. Anyone else in the pit? I just bought a ticket for Detroit in November since it is right in my backyard. That should be cool seeing them at the brand new arena. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah their website is garbage.

It will be my 4th show this tour but I am a pit virgin. Should be great. Coming up from Windsor on the train and my train gets in around 3pm. Leaving the next morning. 10 hours each way on the train will not be fun. Edited July 20, 2017 by BigD62 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunners fan Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 We just bought 3 tickets from Stub Hub....Floor 5 The tickets I bought for $150 Canadian but the face value on each ticket says $275 (they must have originally been price at 275 and reduced to 150?) I have dealt with Stub Hub 2x now...Springsteen and Motley Crue...never had a problem. This time around for GNR...I am taking my 13 year old son to his first rock concert and my wife. What are the chances of getting fucked around with the tickets...my nightmare scenario is walking thru the gate and the door guys goes to scan the tickets and I get a "uhh ohh..

BigD62 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I guess there is no pre party or after party for this show? I am not from Ottawa so I have no idea where to go before the show.
