SCAM - They Steal From Sellers- 1 STAR
DO NOT SELL YOUR TICKETS TO TICKETCRICKET. This is a documented scam operation.
I sold tickets to TicketCricket based on their website promises of "instant payments," "cash on the spot," "prompt communication," and "trusted professionals with over a decade of experience."
Every single one of those claims is a lie.
What Actually Happened:
1. I transferred my tickets to them under a completed agreement.
2. PayPal held the payment for 21 days (standard platform protocol), so I immediately refunded it because their entire business model promises INSTANT payment. That was the deal - I took less money than I could have made elsewhere specifically because they promised immediate cash.
Once they had my tickets, everything changed.
They ghosted me for hours despite reading every message (Instagram read receipts). When I finally called out their unprofessional behavior and demanded payment, they suddenly claimed they "cannot send PayPal to different accounts" - which is completely false. That's literally how PayPal works.
They then offered to "return the tickets" as if they could unilaterally back out of a completed transaction. When I refused and demanded they honor the agreement (the same way they force sellers to honor agreements), they BLOCKED ME on Instagram.
They now have my tickets, owe me $240, and have cut off all communication, and have threatened me with a lawyer, for what? For them stealing my tickets?
Pattern of Behavior:
Multiple reviewers document the same tactics: fake urgency, shifting excuses, broken promises, and most disturbingly, legal intimidation. When I pushed back the owner threatened me with a lawyer when I literally am being the one stolen from!
This is not business conduct. It is bullying. It is the weaponization of legal threats to silence legitimate complaints.
Their Real Model:
1. Target fans who need quick cash.
2. Promise instant payment.
3. Get the tickets.
4. Claim a “payment issue.”
5. Ghost and block when confronted.
6. If you push back, unleash the lawyer.
What I’ve Done:
• Filed FTC fraud complaint
• Filed BBB complaint
• Filed police report for theft
• Sharing documentation publicly
Documentation:
I have screenshots of every conversation, proof of transfer, transaction records, and their website promises.
Warning to Others:
Their entire brand image; “friendly, real-time support,” “trusted professionals,” “instant cash offers” is a facade. What you actually get is silence, manipulation, and potential legal threats for standing up for yourself.
Save yourself the stress, the lost money, and the intimidation. Use anyone else. TicketCricket is a trap disguised as a ticket broker.
