Ontario Speed Dating

If you love to run events and serve your customers through Eventbrite, please reconsider. The Ontario Speed Dating host has personally used eventbrite today and attempted to delete an event. Despite the event having NO sales, it lists a customer on one event subpage claiming she paid $31.00 but when clicking into the order, it shows she paid $0 for 0 tickets and that it's refunded. then when clicking the "$ refund" button, Eventbrite gives an unexpected error message. These steps alone could confuse some organizers, and may cause some people to run lawsuits against the company. So event organizers, if you choose to use Eventbrite to accept payments from your ticket holders, you are currently doing so at your own risk (at least until Eventbrite fixes their mistakes). Good luck if you contact them directly, because word has it that their support team is largely automated (run by robots).

Have you wondered why the Ontario Speed Dating team hasn't run many events? or when the next event is? Well, it really all depends on the PEOPLE. The more that sign up the better chance we have at running an event. You people better hurry or we may not be able to afford to setup any Toronto events and maybe not be able to use Eventbrite to list events with its increasing number of bugs. And we will NEVER run an event in a venue where the owner expects all customers to wear a face covering or be vaccinated. Watch this whole video and see what society is becoming and how you can save it and you'll find out the venues we will be attempting to run more events at.

Since we no longer allowed EventBrite to manage our finances, we were forced to use an incorrect price tag on their platform in exchange for advertising out events there and subsequently our sales have gone downhill consistently. But are you aware of the pitfalls with using Eventbrite? This women shows frustration because she experienced NO real customer service! She has asked them for assistance on how to use certain features on the platform and she gave them a choice to respond by phone call or email, and they wouldn't help her AT ALL! Her story is public on pissedconsumer.com and on youtube.com. Please watch this video because we have deemed Eventbrite to be a very risky platform to conduct financial transactions of of any type.

On December 13th, I (as the speed dating host) have canceled all event listings online after the venue owner canceled all future events (because he no longer has the resources to allow me to run the events effectively and many people asked THEM for refunds). Despite my full compliance, I just received a message from them again today regarding the same issues and that if I do not comply they would seek a 3rd party (likely a lawyer) against me to enforce compliance. They also stated that one person wanted to purchase from venue staff directly because he/she didn't trust the organizer of the event... ME! I was also told that one person pulled off an illegal ticket purchase in the venue! I have repeatedly instructed people in writing that to attend my events, they MUST purchase tickets ONLINE ONLY! and I have informed them that VENUE STAFF CANNOT SELL TICKETS and VENUE STAFF CANNOT ISSUE ANY REFUNDS!!! Because of the unnecessary mental catastrophe Burlington Brewery has gone through this week in respect to my cancelled events, I have made this video of me talking to all of you so you all know that I am a real person speaking the truth. Those who complained due to the refund timing (and/or not arriving yet) might need to wait longer due to holidays and weekends not counting as bank business days. My payment processor squareup.com estimates that the final refund will be issued by January 4, 2024. If anyone has ANY questions, PLEASE visit http://www.ontariospeeddating.ca/contact/ and tell me your concerns or even complain about your refund. I answer within 48 hours. Because of this and a recent incident with a new ticket buyer, I'm no longer running events for those aged 50 and up.
