It is fairly easy to book, however it is not immediately visible what is the seat number after you select the number of tickets. I used the mobile app. Otherwise, easy to check out.

Reasonably easy booking service. However you've got to get on with it otherwise you will get timed out. I had to clear it with my bank for the transaction to take place which took a few minutes.... See more

I hesitated to attend

I hesitated to attend, in the way that one hesitates before an event that will cause extreme pain . The information laid bare in all of its raw power was so sensitively curated, not to sensationalise the horror , but to develop a true narrative of the Nova festival’s being attacked, and each individual story of the participants . Humanity at its very best, contrasting with extreme anticipatory devravity.

Easy Enough

Booking was easy enough, hard to find tickets but once I got them every thing was easy and quick.

rip off fees

being forced to use your app for tickets and then being charged £2.50 processing fee for the privilege is a complete rip off

Extremely stressful

I luckily got tickets, but the ticket system ( on the eventim website)is way too confusing and complicated, it’s completely different to ticket master or axs ( and i mean thats when choosing/clicking on tickets) this made it very difficult to differentiate between ticket options ,there is two seating options of circle seated, when choosing this, you dont know where you are sitting, there was a option to choose tickets on seating chart but when clicking on chart no tickets were available! I think the ticket choices need to be more clear on what is included and what the views are etc. So i was forced to do circle seating, one is more expensive than the other which im assuming more expensive means closer view. I dont know if the tickets didnt show up on seating chart due to the constant update on ticket availability but this made it 10x worse than it actually should’ve been.
I thankfully got tickets after refreshing the page for 27 minutes. Because of this process i am now going to be very hesitant at trying to get tickets that are held at this venue, typically i always attempt to buy tickets directly with the venue as typically it is an easier process however i shouldve opted for axs - giving the fact the structure of the ticket purchase process is way more straightforward,
Obviously as you all know, buying tickets is stressful enough, going in the queue, getting a number , clicking on the available tickets when out of the queue, and this ontop of all the shenanigans with the purchase process for eventim, i think it just magnified the stress, eventhough you dont even have to queue to attempt your purchase on tickets like other big companies.
i hope this can be taken into consideration at eventim and this is no hate to them, this is just my experience and opinion and i really hope this can be improved by the time i want to attend a different concert and i need to purchase tickets.

Hello,

We're pleased to hear that you were ultimately able to secure tickets, but we're sorry that the booking process felt stressful and confusing. We appreciate that purchasing tickets for popular events can already be a high-pressure experience, and we understand how frustrating it can be when ticket availability is changing rapidly in real time.

The seating options and availability shown during the booking process are determined by the event organisers and can change continuously as other customers complete their purchases. This can sometimes mean that seats shown on the seating plan are no longer available by the time customers attempt to select them.

£10 Forced bag check in SCAM

Eventim Apollo now believes it is okay to force customers to pay £10 to check in their bags over the size of A4 when it HAS NEVER DONE THIS IN ALL HISTORY BEFORE. It's a blatant rip off and completely bad for business. I will think twice about ever coming to the Apollo again and have told all my friends who are very angry and shocked too. This is NOT ON.

You don't see the seat immediately as you select the number of tickets.

It is fairly easy to book, however it is not immediately visible what is the seat number after you select the number of tickets. I used the mobile app.

Otherwise, easy to check out.

This will display the seat numbers before you proceed with your purchase.
