Is Viagogo Legit?
No way! Viagogo is a oh-no-no. Although it may look legit and the technology seems sophisticated, Viagogo is NOT a The Grass is Greener ticket seller. Never has been, never will be. Don’t be fooled by the Google ads.
Viagogo sells two different types of illegitimate tickets:
The Grass is Greener ticketing team cannot and will not accept tickets purchased on Viagogo (or any third-party ticket seller). Viagogo also sell the tickets at extremely inflated prices, with booking fees that are often $100+.
Viagogo isn’t the only culprit, with other sites including Queen of Tickets, eBay and even Facebook. Festicket is the only ticket outlet to buy The Grass is Greener tickets, so we suggest signing up for an account or if you already have one, and getting your logins at the ready.
Can I sell my ticket on a social media platform?
Selling tickets through any third party website goes against The Grass is Greener ticket T&C’s. If you need to sell your ticket, you can do so through the official resale system. Any tickets found to be sold on Social Media will be canceled, and posts advertising tickets will be removed.
