I bought a pair of tickets online at TicketWeb.com for a concert in Downtown Boise (at the Big Easy concert venue). The tickets were to be held for me at Will Call. When I arrived to pick them up I was informed that, since I had not brought the original credit card used to purchase them online, I would not be allowed to recieve the tickets I had already been charged for. The girl behind the glass told me, however, that I could receive a refund through TicketWeb. Because a friend and I were meeting several other people inside, I was forced to purchase two additional tickets to be admitted.

TicketWeb has been completely unhelpful in my efforts to find an acceptable solution to this situation. They have responded that "all sales are final, " though I believe the definition of a "sale" is the exchange of money for goods or services and in this case no goods or services were provided. I was put in a position where I had to buy a second set of tickets for this concert because I was not allowed to pick up the tickets I had waiting at will call and the company refuses to compensate me in any way for the $58 I paid for the original set of tickets which I never recieved. Here is some of the communcation I have had with the company:

I arrived at the venue to pick up my tickets but I had forgotten to bring the original credit card I had used to purchase the tickets on Ticket Web. The girl at the box office said she could not give me the tickets. She said I could a refund through Ticket Web.

This is the third time I have contacted you regarding the tickets I paid for but was unable to receive. In your reply (see below) you indicated that you would not refund or exchange because "all sales are final." However, a sale is an exchange of money for goods or services. Since I recieved no goods or services from you, there was no sale. I demand compensation from you or will be forced to take legal action. Sincerely, Eric Ellis
