Viagogo lied to me the other day, so I am very happy to see Google do something about this...
I searched for an event and I was in a hurry and I made an honest mistake where I tapped the first item in search result on mobile without checking (tapped a paid Google Ad by Viagogo; normally I am more careful to avoid scummy ads!).
Paid a premium for "D reserve" seats but was given "E" seats many rows back from D section. Scummy switcheroo. Also worried if we would get into event since tickets were bought in someone else's name. And bookings two seats means you pay 2 booking fees - uggh. The worst part was that you pay more, but the UI for Viagogo is really really shitty!!!
Lesson learned: avoid scummy Viagogo unless no other choice...
