BBB Warns Consumers: Stay Away From TicketsMyWay
The complaints about TicketsMyWay—the Las Vegas-based ticket broker that doesn't actually deliver the tickets it sells, then threatens you with litigation or fines if you attempt to get your money back—have reached a high enough level to earn a Consumer Alert from the Better Business Bureau:
[Parent company] Event Tickets LLC has an unsatisfactory rating from BBB due to its performance, which includes nearly 100 instances of non-delivery of tickets, nearly another 100 complaints involving refunds and exchanges, and on about 200 occasions, the company has failed to even respond to BBB or consumers to resolve issues.
Remember, avoid this company when buying tickets. We've heard only bad things about them, and have yet to hear of any sort of resolution or follow-up story that would make us change our minds.

these guys are such transparent criminals, it's amazing that the DA of Clark Co. Nevada (which their terms and conditions page helpfully informs you IN THE FIRST PARAGRAPH ON THE PAGE is the jurisdiction where you'll have to bring any legal proceedings against them) hasn't charged them with fraud yet.
@davere: agreed. the 'security badges' on the right hand side look like they were made with construction paper and a glue stick.
I work for a phone company and handle the BBB complaints when we get 'em (about 1 a month or so). The BBB is useless, and as long as I give a half-decent response they give us a OK rating. In fairness most complaints to the BBB (for everyone, not just me) are "I didn't bother reading the fine print, and now i'm mad".
BBB complaints only really work if:
A) the person who reads them has the power to fix things or
B) the company is an "accredited" member of the BBB. You have to pay for that, so they work on keeping their reputation good.
More amazing is how hard these scumbags work at keep the negative complaints to a minimum. The website pissedconsumer.com is a total mess with real complaints, fake compliments and even fake stories about being sued by TicketsMyWay and losing over $3000!
These scam artists are really working hard at trying to keep their criminal activities to a minimum and they are failing miserably at it.
@mmcnary: Unfortunately, doing that would probably be against the rules, and is unsporting anyway. Sure, they're probably not going to come through, but you didn't even give them a fighting chance.
I'm pretty wary of the BBB since my company periodically receives complaints obviously meant for a large and well-known company that isn't located in my city (just because the first few letters of our company names are the same). I know if we don't respond we'll get black marks at the BBB even though they haven't even tried to contact the correct company.
Getting an alert issued does take quite a few complaints though.
@Canino: If you have time to shoot me an email and let me know your company's name, I can touch base with your local BBB and hopefully clear up the confusion over misdirected complaints, apreszler[at]council.bbb.org
Obviously the site is being run by an individual trying to scam the innocent. What kind of merchant account is this individual using? And why won't he get shutdown due to high complaint volume? The site seems very unprofessional and fishy. "Will beat ANY brokers price"... Very shady sounding. I hope everyone gets their money back.

I am glad the BBB put out this alert but...
the company has failed to even respond to BBB or consumers to resolve issues
I think it is funny that the BBB gets upset when people have the audacity to not respond since, they have no greater power over these companies than the consumerist.com does.
Although public shaming does hold power over those companies who care about their image.
