### 1/5 — Frustrating UX

*2026-07-10, version 3.6.7*

App still won’t autofill addresses, to make a purchase the same information has to be manually entered three times, it won’t save payment info - terrible user experience. Looking at other reviews these seem to be persistent issues.

### 2/5 — Won’t  update

*2026-01-31, version 3.5.5*

Won’t update on iPhone 8- unfair programming. 
Should not have to buy a new phone just to use the app.

### 2/5 — Poor search and confusing ticket pricing

*2026-01-11*

The search experience is bad. I did not grant location permission, and searching by date and city name alone often fails to return the shows I’m looking for. A basic search should not depend on location access to function properly.

Ticket pricing is also poorly designed. All seats appear in the same color, so there’s no way to understand price differences at a glance. There is no price filtering, and you have to tap seats one by one just to see prices. In some cases, tapping a seat doesn’t even show the price — you have to add it to the cart to find out.

Overall, browsing and buying tickets feels unnecessarily slow, opaque, and frustrating.

### 1/5 — Cannot complete purchase

*2025-11-25, version 3.5.1*

I set up the payment card, but everytime I click on my payment card in the purchase page, it just stuck on the "use another card". Btw this is just a ticket app, why my phone gets hot when I use this app.

### 3/5 — Always logged out

*2025-08-18, version 3.4.1*

It’s so frustrating I’m always being logged out, every day and multiple time a day.

### 1/5 — Pointless app

*2025-08-08, version 3.4.0*

In an age where literally everything seeks to harvest private and personal information for corporate gain at the expense of your privacy, you really would have thought that this app would at least allow you to save routine information you have to enter every single time you book a ticket. 
Design and optics of the app are fine. But every single time I make a purchase I have to re-enter my details even when I select to save them.

### 2/5 — very frustrating

*2025-07-27, version 3.3.5*

won’t save an address on customer’s profile so has to be resubmitted for every purchase.
can’t choose my credit card as an option to pay even though it is current and set as default payment method on profile. support team replies with ‘supposed to work, ‘ but the concerns have not been fixed

### 1/5 — Now it is awful

*2025-07-01, version 3.3.2*

I’ve had this app for years and this year it no longer keeps you logged in. When you do log in it does not save any of your information so you must reenter address and credit card every time you use it. Also it’s lost the functionality to pay via apple wallet. Basically it’s now a nightmare to use.

### 4/5 — Too many glitches

*2025-05-28, version 3.2.8*

Used to be a really good app that would leave me logged in but lately I have to log in everytime.

### 1/5 — Not replacing the Showpass dashboard app

*2025-03-14, version 3.2.0*

This app is not supporting event organizers. Why disabling the dashboard app for this one?
