TicketsNow Review

TicketsNow belongs to the National Association of Ticket Brokers. TicketsNow has over 300 employees and is based just outside Chicago, Ill. Although TicketsNow pricing is a little higher than industry average, you will find that their customer service will make up for the slightly premium price.

A unique feature of TicketsNow is they offer groups, companies and organizations a buying facility for their clients and employees through their "Corporate Programs". With this program group members can access special discounted tickets and easy order access. These are all great things.

Tickets Now is one of the major players in the online ticket business and their customer service is excellent. However, you will find that TicketsNow focuses primarily on major events in North America and internationally, which means that their selection is not as extensive as their peers. Furthermore, the categories they've chosen to divide their offerings into are awkward (look at Concerts & Theater below under "Markets" to see what we mean). Their refund policy is a little awkward, but overall TicketsNow is an excellent choice for your event tickets purchases. Highly recommended.
