### 2/5 — Very Unreliable

*2025-07-04, version 2.0.5*

User Constantly has to re log in. Again and again. App crashes as soon as you walk in the building. Suggest putting purchased event on the Home Screen when the user logs in.

### 1/5 — Everyone involved in making this app should be fired

*2024-05-30, version 2.0.4*

Nothing works. The app is just as useless as the website. It is outrageous.

### 1/5 — Payment Errors

*2024-02-11, version 2.0.3*

Been trying to purchase a ticket and getting different error messages ever time

### 1/5 — Constantly shows 404 error page

*2024-02-09, version 2.0.3*

The app seems to be wrapper on the website. However the website works fine on the same device on which the app shows 404 error. Hard restart of the app doesn't resolve the issue.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2023-04-13, version 1.9.4*

No personalization. Doesn’t show ticket purchases. Useless.

### 1/5 — WORST APP EVER!!!

*2022-12-28, version 1.9.4*

DO NOT BUY FROM TELECHARGE...they MISPLACE TICKETS, PUT YOU ON HOLD forever. I bought 2 tickets for $600 and NEVER received the email, but only received 100's of JUNK MAIL selling more tickets. AVOID at ALL COSTS!!!

### 1/5 — Horrible app. Very, very limited functionality.

*2022-11-20, version 1.9.4*

I just downloaded this app with hopes that I could access my account or tickets already purchased. No luck. This app is nothing more than a way to search and buy new tickets to shows. And, if you use this app to buy tickets, good luck if something goes wrong with those tickets. This app will not help you fix problems.

### 1/5 — Worst app ever

*2022-04-14, version 1.9.4*

This app should be a portable version of the website. How can I download tickets to my phone if my tickets don’t show up as there is no account integration
We are better off just accessing the website through the search engine.  Apps should be a way to access your account with a personalized experience.

### 1/5 — Why bother

*2022-03-15, version 1.9.4*

Charges tons of fees, but obviously none of it goes to this app. As others have said it’s worthless

### 1/5 — Completely worthless

*2021-12-05, version 1.9.4*

I was shocked to see, like another reviewer said, that this is only a search engine. What good is a ticket app if you can’t link your account or see your purchased tickets? I don’t need any more search engines. Deleted.

### 1/5 — NO PUEDO COMPRAR!!

*2026-07-25, version 2.0.8*

Horrible app! Estoy queriendo comprar tickets para Chicago desde ayer a la noche!!! Nada anda, pongo para pagar y se queda en Processing y nunca sale de ahi! Pesimo

### 1/5 — The worst

*2026-06-07, version 2.0.8*

This app is a disgrace.  Buggy, glitchy, a terrible customer service experience.  Shame on you.  It's not like the tickets are such a deal that we ought to put up with this.

### 1/5 — Best Price, Worst App

*2026-02-15, version 2.0.8*

The app is almost unusable, so many glitches, blows my mind. On my my iphones, all new versions, updated, 15 pro, it constantly cancels my order, gives me a white screen, won’t even load up the home page. it feels like an app from a decade ago. No backwards navigation either. it’s like they had some make a modified version of their website and didn’t realize how cumbersome and frustrating it is. Best price tho, but i have to use their website.

### 1/5 — App does not open

*2026-01-19, version 2.0.7*

App does not open. Redirects to website.

### 1/5 — Telecharge is on nobody's side

*2025-12-14, version 2.0.7*

Not the people who want to buy tickets, not the theaters who want to sell tickets. Someone else said it best, 6 years ago: still making people cry.

### 1/5 — Everyone knows it’s the worst app

*2025-08-21, version 2.0.5*

Use any other ticketing app. I recommend TodayTix even if it is slightly more expensive Telecharge is not worth the headache.

### 1/5 — Terrible App

*2025-07-15, version 2.0.5*

Doesn’t work.  Painfully slow.  Can’t download tickets.  For such a large company, this is so much worse than apps for small non-profit organizations doing the same thing.  Very bad job.

### 1/5 — Will Not Add Tickets To Apple Wallet

*2025-01-05, version 2.0.5*

Could not download tickets to Apple Wallet from the Telecharge Email…..
So I downloaded the app….
WILL NOT DOWNLOAD FROM THE APP!!!
What fun….2025 and I need to find a printer and carry around sheets of paper!

### 1/5 — Simpler Awful

*2024-12-05, version 2.0.5*

This app is really just the website made to look like an app. What makes this even worse is it’s a really awful website. Looks like something from Web 1.0 and is very unreliable.

### 1/5 — Useless app and website

*2024-09-30, version 2.0.5*

I had the same experience as many other reviewers. I tried purchasing tickets on the website but after selecting the tickets the next prompt is to buy tickets. I hit the button and nothing happens. It just keeps processing and processing. I tried different web browsers (Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge and Safari on both PC and Mac)…same thing happens. So then I downloaded the app because, surely, the app should work! Nope. After selecting tickets my next option it to “add payment method”. Hit the button and nothing happens!  Since it’s after hours I’ll call the 1-800 number and hopefully that works.

### 5/5 — Broadway to my heart!

*2023-08-29, version 2.0.0*

So excited to see the app update. The new design is great and quite user friendly. I was able to book tickets quickly! Living in NYC it’s awesome to have a seamless way to book Broadway shows right in my pocket!!

### 5/5 — Convenient

*2023-08-28, version 2.0.0*

So glad this app exists, makes it much easier to navigate the ticketing process.

### 5/5 — Definitely an improvement

*2023-08-24, version 2.0.0*

Very much liked how the option to get discounts or enter all the lotteries was grouped together in one convenient place!

### 5/5 — It works!

*2023-08-24, version 2.0.0*

They updated the app and it’s way easier to use now! Very into being able to pull up the seating chart when I get there to find my seat without stressing.

### 5/5 — Great!

*2023-08-23, version 2.0.0*

Was pleasantly surprised with how easy telecharge is to use! Simple design and very easy to navigate. I especially love the sort/filter options, it makes choosing a show so much faster. So excited now to get tickets for broadway week!

### 5/5 — Great

*2023-08-23, version 2.0.0*

The new design is really improved, easy to use, and fast. It’s great to have access to have all broadway shows in one place and at reasonable prices!

### 5/5 — What an upgrade!

*2023-08-21, version 2.0.0*

Finally! The telecharge app is super easy to use. I was able to buy tickets to some like it hot in 5 minutes. Looks like we don’t need telecharge offers anymore either…. Great news!

### 4/5 — Vast Improvement.

*2023-08-25, version 2.0.0*

This latest release is a vast improvement over earlier iterations. It even has some nifty new features (Iike being able to buy with a discount code). Still wish I could pick my own seats but… fingers crossed.

### 2/5 — Awful audience rewards integration

*2026-04-12, version 2.0.8*

As I was trying to add my audience rewards number, the system created me a new account.  Now I have to call audience rewards to fix that.

### 2/5 — Hidden Tickets

*2026-03-14, version 2.0.8*

This app is gen 1 and not fully baked. There are plenty of excellent ticketing apps. Copy one of them. I don’t want to feel unwelcome every time I open this app.
