Hi Ms*** ***
As we mentioned when we spoke at our office, Veteran discounts (as with many of the
other discounts/promotions/specials) in town are constantly changing - but we do our very best to offer fair prices (the vast majority of which are at a discount) to all of our customers
After speaking with the box offices, accounting, and management at the theatres you mentioned in order to find out what their Veteran and discount policy was for the time you were in town - we have refunded Mrs*** card in the amount of ***
I also spoke with Mrs*** via phone and let her know about the refund and why it differed from the amount you alluded to
In the future, please feel free to contact us directly to sort out any matters
The Revdex.com has become an antiquated organization that has plenty of issues in their own right, one that is in no position to "oversee" or help businesses in the first place:
- ***
***- ***
- ***
Over the past years we have helped more than 200,000+ people plan their visits to Branson and ONLY Revdex.com complaints during that time
Should you have any questions or need further assistance, please don't hesitate to call us at (800) 504-or visit our office at NCommercial St., Branson, MO (the Revdex.com site still has our address listed incorrectly)
Happy holidays and Merry Christmas :-)

I spoke with *** on the morning of July 16th regarding her tickets that she purchased through us
She said that she
believed she was charged almost twice the amount that she should have
I called the theatre box office directly to double-check box office pricing and confirmed that seats at theatre directly are *** However, if you live or work in the area that the rate was *** per person
I also verified with the box office at what price they sold their tickets and was informed that they sell their tickets for *** - unless you live or work in the area, which they are then ***
A "local" or "area appreciation" rate is common within the tourism industry in Branson, providing those who live or work here with discounted admission
I attempted to explain this to Ms*** and that the customers in front of and/or behind her in line must have been locals or live or worked in the area - that she could not receive the same ticket price because she lived out of state and out of the area
She kept trying to get me to give her the tickets she purchased for *** but I informed her since she did not/does not live or work in the area that I would be unable to do so
I told her that she could verify this herself with the theatre and that under no circumstances (outside of being a local or working in the area) that the box office would sell an adult ticket for ***
She refused to call the box office and said that the people around her purchased the tickets for *** said I should be ashamed of myself, and then hung up on me
What Ms*** is/was asking for is the equivalent of asking for a *** discount at a hotel when you aren't a member of *** - but believe you are entitled to it because the person in front of you got that discount
Ms*** actually received a couple dollars of a discount compared to the box office rate by booking through us
We stand by our original decision and would encourage the customer verify for themselves (with the theatre directly as well) that adult tickets are sold at ***
We will not be issuing a refund

Customer was very difficult to work with:
- She didn't want to give her address, then she did
- She then received
her email confirmation and was upset that it had her address in it
- She was upset that she had to come to our office to pick up tickets
- She was upset that we faxed the vouchers to the theatre if she didn't want to come by our office
- We ONLY EMAILED HER A CONFIRMATION OF THE ORDER SHE HAD PLACED, we didn't share it with cyberspace and compromise her security
Told customer that we would cancel her order for her since we were unable to make her happy, which she declined several times
She wanted money back then made several remarks along the lines of "Oh, it's that kind of place," "You are just a run around kind business," "Now I get it, that's what you're doing," "What kind of place is it there."
We then told *** that we were cancelling her order because we could not make her happy, but she still did not want to cancel with us
We then proceeded to give her the direct box office phone numbers to the shows she wanted to seeShe didn't get them written down, so we gave them to her againShe then said she needed the phone numbers again, and if we would please give her the same numbers we gave her the first time (which we didagain.)
We then informed *** that we could not assist her any further and she would have to look up the numbers herself
Since we were unable to make the customer happy, we cancelled her order and voided the charge
After her order was cancelled, she emailed us from her iPhone on September requesting that we send her a copy of her cancellation - which we then emailed to her
We believe we did everything in our power to assist ***, but feel that we were unable to make her happy

We do apologize for everything that Mr*** experienced, and tried our best to accommodate him once we were
made aware that the unit was having electrical issues
Two days before their arrival we were notified by the management company that the unit was unfit to stay in during their stay because of electrical issues - something that was completely, totally out of our controlWe have no control or involvement with maintenance issues at properties, shows, or attractions that we book
Unfortunately, sometimes things happen and we attempted to resolve the situation the best we could
We called Mr*** to explain the electrical issue and asked if moving to another unit was acceptableWhile certainly not the ideal solution, it was the only course of action that we could take given the busy holiday weekend - there were no equal places to stay and no upgrades available that we could find anywhere
He was pleasant on the phone and said that was fine - keep his reservation and just move him to a different unit and we said we would credit his card $for the difference in unit prices
Yes, were closed on Thanksgiving - however, we also gave Mr*** an emergency contact number on Wednesday when we followed up with him again in case he should need to contact us on Thanksgiving
Of course, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and offered to fully refund Mr*** if he was unhappy with the accommodationsSince we could not find another equal or better place to what he had booked, we offered that he could find another place on his own and we would refund the amount in full
Mr*** believes that we were unconcerned and rude, which I don't believe was the case at all on our end
Within minutes of receiving notice about the unit's electrical issues with the property management company that manages and books that particular unit, we had several staff members working frantically to find a similar unit that we could offer as an alternative to Mr***During the process of calling literally dozens of properties around Branson and coming up with nothing, another customer cancelled their stay for the unit that we evenutally moved Mr*** to
We immediately booked the unit (even before hearing whether or not Mr*** wanted to stay there, because it's a terribly busy weekend and didn't want to lose it in the event he WAS ok with moving)
We immediately called Mr*** as I recounted earlier
Mr*** was NOT bumped for another guest, there REALLY were electrical issues that we had no control over, of course it's terribly unfortunate that it had to happen and we sincerely apologize - but I believe we tried our very best to remedy the situation to our best abilities

We have provided all of the information in great detail in order to attempt to address Mr***'s original complaint, and are unsure what additional resolution or apologies he is seeking beyond what we have already done
Everything that transpired and the reasoning behind all of it was explained in the previous response, as well as extending our sincerest apologies and a credit of $150+ issued
