Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

I purchased tickets for my daughter’s wrestling tournament and selected the incorrect event. I quickly ordered the correct tickets and attended my daughter’s tournament. Thinking that I can request a refund after the tournament was over (because I would have time to sit and talk to this company). I was clearly wrong. They told me that it was too late to request a refund because the incorrect tournament for the incorrect tickets that I purchased was over. It clearly shows that the tickets were not used but Gofan will not return my money. In a nutshell they just stole money from me and are saying TOO BAD. AGAIN BE CAREFUL WHEN PURCHASING TICKETS!!!!!

It’s so annoying to not have the ability to share a mobile ticket. Every user needs to get the app and create an account to access a transferred ticket. I purchase 15 tickets for different family members for wrestling and many of them seniors so the app download is tricky for them, and I have to run to the event entry to get them every time

Parents should be outraged that GoFan is taking advantage of them by imposing exorbitant processing fees, with no option to pay a normal ticket price. Instead of simply being able to pay a fair price for admission to events, they're being forced to cover a high fee just to attend. GoFan is clearly exploiting the situation, disguising it as a security measure when, in reality, it's just a way to squeeze extra money out of families.
