I had trouble opening the ticket on the app, so I had to contact them via WhatsApp. They sent it to me and got back to me immediately. Even late at night. They answered all my questions. Great service!

the Shrek musical was awesome! the experience of buying online was satisfactory, I would have liked to see the view from the seats that I chose. I didn't appreciate being obliged to download the head application in order to get the tickets: they should be sent in PDF firstly, the application download should be an option, and not compulsary.
