⚠️ WARNING: DO NOT BUY TICKETS – **** ⚠️ I purchased tickets for what was advertised as Dinosaur World / Dinosaur World Festival / Dinosaur Festival Cape Town / Dinosaur World Festival Stellenbosch (the name keeps changing). The event was cancelled. Refunds were promised. Months later, there is still no refund. I have been messaging them for weeks on end. Someone occasionally responds with vague messages like “we’ll escalate this” or “your refund is coming” — but nothing ever happens. It has now been 6–7 months, and I have not received a cent. After doing more research, it’s clear that hundreds of people are in the exact same situation. Same story every time: tickets bought, event cancelled, promises made, money never returned. These organisers operate under multiple names and pages, which makes it very difficult to track them down or hold anyone accountable. Based on my experience and what many others are reporting, this appears to be a widespread ****. Do not waste your time. Do not waste your money. I strongly advise anyone considering this event to stay far away.

I have bought 18 ticket for the Dino & Beer Festival in Stellenbosch for Nov'25. Received and email saying the event is no longer happening - have been mailing them like crazy for my refund - No REPLY nothing - VERY Unprofessional. I eventually got a whatsapp number and every time they say they will follow up - I am still 18 tickets monies short - BAD BAD Service

If I could give 0 starts, I would. This place is a complete ****, they have no morals, no principles. This expo was supposed to be for kids, instead they resort to *****ing your money. NEVER, EVER will I subject my kids to such a pathetic organisation. *****ing my hard-earned cash like its nothing. Really poor

Absolutely shocking experience. The so-called Stellenbosch Dino World Festival was cancelled, and despite promising refunds to those who requested them, I am still waiting for my money. Completely unacceptable. I have emailed repeatedly. Not a single reply. Talia (*** ) does not respond. The alternate address, *** , is equally silent. At this point, based on my experience, this feels like dealing with a bunch of ****mers. I paid R300, they promised a refund, and they have not delivered anything. Avoid this organisation entirely - if they even exist, which I doubt. Communication is nonexistent, promises are ignored, and customers are left out of pocket. I am demanding my refund without further delay.
