I’m a doctor working shifts and I didn’t realise the ID requirement when I bought the tickets, regrettably I had to work so that meant myself and my party I couldn’t attend the show, I usually look out for this when I buy tickets but didn’t see it this time, only realised when the tickets arrived. I have just looked at booking process and I see if you book on your phone (which I did) you probably won’t see the T&Cs as you have to scroll down 3 pages to get to that bit. Roundhouse - please make any important T&Cs clear in the booking process so others don’t get caught out like I did!

I visited here a wile back and had a really good evening.

I ordered tickets 4 months in advance, and they didn't turn up.I emailed 3 times and only received a reply on the 3rd email.I then called. The call was terminated.Then I finally get to speak to a woman with a US accent who keeps talking over me while I'm trying to explain. Very ignorant attitude.They claim to have sent the tickets out, but they haven't.Would assume the reason they have guidance on their ticket site about calling them if you haven't received tickets 7 days before the gig, is because this has happened so many times before.I asked for them to be re-sent to me. They won't do it.I asked if I can pick up at Box Office tomorrow. No, not until 2 hours before the gig.I ask for a refund. No. they don't do refunds.I paid 'fees' on this ticket and now I have to go to the Box Office on the night after 5.30pm. I don't finish work until 6pm, so I have to try and make time to pick up tickets I ordered 4 months in advance because of their general levels of shabbiness.Unbelievably amateurish.

The upper floor is rather detached and, worst of all, there is a row of columns between you and the stage so if you're unlucky there might well be a column or 2 blocking your view of part of the stage. THERE SHOULD BE A WARNING when you buy your ticket that your seat has an obstructed view. The staff were lovely and when I complained, they gave me a different seat - but that was obstructed too! Luckily, my event (the Specials) was not full and I was able to sit in another seat! The venue was nice enough but not as charming as I remember it in the 1970s.

Website crashed. Customer service link on website doesn't work and box office number has a recorded number saying it is closed. You really want to support the arts but sometimes its hard

I was due to see Interpol on 14th of June, The gig was cancelled less than an hour before it took place. I didn't find out until I was at the venue. I travelled from Liverpool to see it, £100s wasted on accommodation and travel. The venue posted a 2 sentence explanation 9 days ago saying gig was cancelled due to illness. They have not given any updates or written to me since. Just dropped a bomb shell then ghosted it. They have also been ignoring me emails.I have not received a refund. The venue could have handled this better, 45 minutes notice is unacceptable.
Trustpilot
No support whatsoever. Plenty of resources to put into all its, no doubt, worthy causes but if you're just a mug who's funding the thing through buying tickets, don't expect any appropriate help. Very poor. And of course, they're one of these companies that hide their phone number. Just in case there's a risk that you'd get to speak to them and they'd have to sort things out.

UTTERLY SHABOLIC!They are Disorganised, their ticketing system doesn't work and when their systems fail, they are rude to and blaim their customers!I go to gigs for a little light relief and respite from my busy, stressful life. I Do Not Need the extra stress!!! Plus, as a Paying Customer, paying Their wages, I do Not expect to be treated like scum.In a word (or two)... Utterly Discraceful!

When their shows are cancelled and postponed, and you ask for a refund because you cannot make the new venue or date they refund the ticket but not your booking fee which is a substantial amount. On the other hand a venue like KOKO will not steal your booking fee. I am never booking a Roundhouse concert again. Especially because for some reason post-covid - artists seem to have gone “goblin mode” and cancel concerts at the drop of a hat. So I will stick to venues that give you a full refund.

RANT OF THE DAY Having purchased Sister Sledge tickets from The Roundhouse in Camden we are unable to travel due to the Rail strike today. The Roundhouse does not have a telephone number for their Box Office to speak with an actual person (Ridiculous)!! No Refund allowed or exchange for another event either; this information was sent via email. Most frustrating to lose the money on which has been spent on a treat to ourselves. ☹
