I paid $180 for concert tickets through re-seller SeatGeek. I was nervous when I read that often tickets will be emailed within 24 hours of the performance. Nevertheless I decided to trust the process. Day of the concert came, no tickets. I chatted with customer support. I was told there was no record of any tickets being sent to my email address or ordered from me. I screen-shotted my bank statement where it showed I had paid, months earlier. The customer service rep had no answers for me. Given that the tickets were a birthday present to my daughter, and getting nowhere with SeatGeek, one hour before the concert I purchased new tickets through a different re-seller. Then I got an email from SeatGeek customer service saying they HAD found my email after all, and their records showed I had received the tickets. Since I did not receive any tickets and had now paid for them twice, I asked for a refund. SeatGeek refused.

I purchased two tickets to the Elton John concert in Columbus, OH, scheduled for 4/25/20, but it was cancelled due to Covid. It was rescheduled for 4/12/22. When we arrived at the arena, our tickets did not appear on my phone app. I contacted SeatGeek's customer service, and we messaged back and forth for an hour-and-a-half. The customer service rep said she looked and could not find where our tickets were, but she did have the original invoice showing that I paid $686 for two tickets. She then said she was going to try to contact the seller. What? Two years after I bought the tickets and you're contacting the seller? Shouldn't those tickets have been surrendered by the seller at the moment I purchased them?
We did not get in to see the concert. Over the next couple of days, the rep and I continued to communicate via messenger. She asked for verification that I had paid for the tickets, including asking me for the last 4 digits of my credit card and other information. A few days later she wrote that her support team decided to give me a 50% refund. I declined, stating that I should not be held financially responsible for the tickets since I never received them. I asked for a 100% refund. This has now gone on for almost two months, and I keep getting the run-around. Just the other day the rep said her support team had decided to offer me a 75% refund. NO, I want a 100% refund...and I went on to remind the rep about SeatGeek's refund policy as it pertained to my situation.
I then wrote to her, asking for an explanation as to why SeatGeek is not giving me a total refund. Her response was: "I've raised your concern again to our higher support team and already got their response. And as per them, we can offer you a 75% promo code refund. Since you had plenty of time to request for a retransfer and you could have also checked their SG account for the transfer link." ...Tina, SeatGeek Customer Service
I don't know what that means. Oh, a few weeks earlier the rep said I wouldn't receive a full refund because I didn't attend the concert. Well no ####. OK, I feel silly even explaining this one, but since I had not gotten the tickets, as we had discussed several times, how would I have gotten into the concert? Does that mean if I had gone to the concert, SeatGeek would have refunded my money for tickets I didn't receive to get into the concert? Try to wrap your head around that logic. So, let's imagine, just for fun, that the SeatGeek Fairy came to town, waved her Magic SeatGeek Wand, and beamed us into the concert. In that theoretical but ridiculous setting, why would I be asking for a refund?

I bought concert tickets 2 years ago a month before Covid happened. I was using my phone to purchase tickets to a concert and I clicked on the section I wanted and had it all set and when I actually clicked on buy and received my tickets I was now the owner of tickets to the wrong section. A section I DID NOT choose, it's like as soon as I hit purchase the section changed but I was charged the same. I ended up with tickets worth waaay less than what I actually paid for them. Customer service was of no help. They said I got the tickets I purchased and I told them I know what section I had added to my cart and what actually came through after the purchase was not correct. There was no way for me to prove it because who takes screenshots of your cart prior to purchasing, you just trust you are going to get what you have added in there. They told me to sell them, who in their right mind would pay double for tickets when they could buy them cheaper?!
I would not get my money back and I couldn't cancel or get a refund. Even now that the concert has finally happened the section that I paid over $500 per ticket for were now selling for $267 NUTS ($500 tickets are super close to the stage and I was not). I know I was gypped. I would NEVER EVER go through SeatGeek again and I do tell everyone I know not to. They made what was supposed to be a FUN once in a lifetime experience so awful. I can't stop thinking about how I was ripped off and nothing was done about it.

I purchased two single seats to a Garth Brooks concert. Seat Geek Website said on each occasion that purchase cannot be completed. I went through all the steps again. I then got stuck with four seats and immediately contacted them. Lenrell, their agent, after a half hour of texting said he was forwarding file to the Service Team and he’d get back to me asap. Two weeks and no response so contacted Customer Service and followed up with Harold. I finally got a message saying too bad; nothing they can do and I should use SeatGeek to resell. This despite the website malfunction was entirely their fault and despite the fact I immediately contacted them upon discovery. I was dealing with crooks and thieves! Deal with them at your peril!

I purchased two tickets for Boots in the Park and the fees were 40% of the ticket price. I discovered only 5 minutes later that I was able to get the same tickets for 10% fees at a different ticketing vendor/merchant. I quickly requested for a refund, however, 10 business days later I received an email indicating I now have SeatGeek credit for the total amount of the ticket plus the astronomical fees that must be used within a year. If and when I use the credit, I will again be charged the fees for the new purchase of tickets from SeatGeek! This is unfair and poor business practice.

Update 04/26/22: I received my tickets the next day. They were actually through Ticketmaster and sold on Seat Geek. I increased my rating to 3 stars because it worked out in the end. I'm keeping 2 stars off for the buying experience.
It's pretty evident that the Seat Geek customer service rep was just reading me a script and not actually researching my individual issue. If she had, she would have seen that the tickets were actually coming from Ticketmaster and that I should have my tickets within 24 hours. Not 3 months. Also, not being able to tell me exactly what seats I just paid for are is another annoyance. Won't be using them again.

I just bought tickets on the Seat Geek platform. The only plus was that it was easy to use. They charged me a hefty premium for the tickets. That's on me. But once I entered my credit card info and submitted my order I was expecting to at least know exactly where my seats were. Not just a general area. Not so lucky. I have to wait 3 months to find out what I just paid for. I tried calling customer service. Oh look, no phone number. Sign number 1 you are dealing with a company that is shady. Reputable companies will have a phone number to discuss customer issues.
I was able to do a chat with a rep. She wasn't able to give me any info or a refund. She said the tickets have already been allocated to me and can't be returned. I asked a common sense question: if the tickets can't be returned because they've already been allocated to me, how come you don't know where they are. She said I'll find out when I get them in 3 months. These tickets were supposed to be a gift. Happy birthday. Here's a receipt for some tickets for seats that are somewhere around this area on the seat map that will hopefully show up in 3 months or so. First and last time using this company.

We were looking for tickets for the Final Four. I purchased the tickets inadvertently when trying to look at different sites. I tried to cancel immediately, but there is no customer service available. I sent numerous emails and tried to contact them all to no avail. THERE IS STILL NO ONE TO CONTACT. The fine print also said I had 72 hours to refund, but that is NOT the case. You get a credit and you can only use it on one event. I just wanted my money back and contacted them immediately. DO NOT USE SEATGEEK.

I bought tickets for the Warriors game at Chase Center on 4/16 3 days ahead of time, and received a confirmation via email, but the day before the game, I noticed that they are for a different game, on a different date and a different state. I contacted SeatGeek, and they were not able to contact the seller in order to resolve the situation. They are obligated to check the tickets beforehand and verify they are the correct ones. Instead of giving me tickets for the game I ordered like it says in their policy, they offered me a refund for the money I paid. The refund they offered is not enough in order to afford the tickets I need, since the price has gone up from when they were initially purchased. I asked for a refund that will meet the current cost, but was denied it. Overall, the policy if this company is incorrect, since they refuse to do what it says. I was scammed out of my money, and a fun time with my family.

A popular music artist was coming to town and so I purchased tickets early through SeatGeek. The day before the show, I wanted to confirm the venue location and went to the website. There I saw tickets were still available. At nearly 25% of the price I paid! I contacted SeatGeek. They simply hid behind their policy that sellers can set the ticket price. Meaning they can and will allow sellers to jack up the price and rip people off. I requests a 50% refund. Denied. The only solution the offered was for me to sell my tickets on their platform. Yah! So I should rip off the next guy to offset my getting ripped off. I don't think so.

I purchased tickets to a baseball game on March 20, 2022. The seller on the SeatGeek website indicated they could transfer the tickets to me on March 31. Historically, electronic tickets are usually in my inbox by the end of the day I purchase them, but when they did not arrive in my email or my ballpark App, as was indicated, I decided to wait until the deadline the website had indicated. Of course, I still didn’t receive the tickets by then, so I reached out to their email support team. Leo indicated he would reach out to the seller to initiate the transfer. After a week with no results, I followed up. He indicated he will reach out again and escalate. Another week goes by, with no tickets.
Now I call their customer support, since I’m a week away from the event. The first representative, Natalie, claimed to have escalate the matter and would attempt to reach out to the seller again. Two days go by with no results, so I reach out again. Curtis indicated he would attempt to reach the seller while I waited on hold. Of course, he still can’t reach them, and somehow, during the call, the status of my order changes from confirmed to transfer initiated, which is odd since I never received any confirmation about this transfer. He then indicates their escalation team claims the tickets can be found on the AXS platform or Ticketmaster. Although the transaction seemed to indicate they would be on the ballpark all, I humored Curtis and checked both accounts. Of course they were not there, so he claimed he would work with their support team to see what happened and call me back.
One day goes by, and no call back or tickets on any platform. I call today, April 9, 2022, two days prior to my event, which in their guarantee in the SeatGeek terms and conditions is the latest I should receive these tickets, and I work with Geraldine and Catherine to try and get some traction on either a.) getting me my tickets or b.) issue a refund, since the sale is null and void without the product. Both individuals continuously repeated themselves by saying they needed to reach out to the seller, although they did that for two weeks straight (as indicated in their notes).
They refused to issue the refund, so I just disputed it on my credit card to get the money back, bought two new tickets (fortunately), which were $100 cheaper than SeatGeek, and now I’m writing my first of many reviews to warn people that this organization not only humors fraud on their platform but refuse to do anything to stop it, even though they have policies that would allow them to charge a fraud fee to the seller and collect mine and their money. In summary, this company charges way higher than other platforms for the same tickets, cannot guarantee their ticket sales are completed, have a powerless, clueless customer support team, and encourage fraud on their platform. Stay away please.

I purchased event tickets March 9, 2020. It is now over 2 years since the date of purchase and my tickets have yet to be honored or refunded. The event I purchased the tickets for has now been rescheduled and SeatGeek still refuses to honor the tickets that originally purchased or issue a full refund. This is theft of service and is an act of malice. I spoke with customer service on numerous occasions about this matter and I am continuously provided false information in an attempt to get me off of the phone. This has been a nightmare and I would never suggest or recommend anyone to use seatgeek to purchase tickets for any event.

I purchased expensive tickets with the assurance the tickets were "100% returnable with no questions asked". When I attempted to return the tickets and process a refund I was informed I could receive a credit and return didn't actually mean return. This is patently misleading. I have asked and will continue to pursue a refund. This is so disappointing.

I purchased hockey tickets in Sep 2021 for a game scheduled on Mar 21. The game was moved up to Jan 12. The change in schedule wasn't in control but informing their customers was. I would never expect the schedule to change by 70 days, as SeatGeek is very specific that downloading tickets is usually 48 hrs before the event. Recently, I was checking the status of my tickets only to find out that the game was played on Jan 12. I reached out to SeatGeek to say "Hey you didn't notify me" without providing any evidence they said they sent me an Email on Jan 4th which they didn't as I keep records of all my Email a minimum of one year including trash. Their response was short. To the point. "Sorry. Can't offer you anything" and have shut me down. So my advice use any other means to get tickets. SeatGeek are not Geeks as they can't even manage their own Email system.

I purchased concert tickets from SeatGeek in September of 2019. The concert was postponed several times. Countless emails from SeatGeek assured me that the tickets were still valid for the new date of the concert. After not receiving tickets, I requested a refund, but was again assured the tickets were valid and a refund was denied several times.
Two days before the concert, I still did not have tickets and customer service once again assured me that I would received the tickets 24 hours before the event (which is their policy). My son (who is now in college) was flying home for the event and we both had to travel into NYC. I explained that travel was involved and Seat Geek again said we would have tickets. Two hours before the concert and already in NYC SeatGeek contacted me and said they would be refunding my purchase for the tickets. As you can imagine my frustration.'
I explained the situation to the agent several times throughout the day trying to avoid this exact situation and they assured me once again and guaranteed that I would have the tickets in time for the concert. Now hundreds of dollars wasted on getting to a place only to have no concert to go to. This could have been avoided as the correspondence between me and this company was clear.

Upon the cancellation of the March 2020 Dallas Mavericks, SeatGeek issued a credit of $1494 to my account. They set up a 'promo code' for the $1216 balance, however, the code disappears after a single purchase of 2 tickets (their site does NOT allow multiple sets of tickets to be added to your Cart - a huge flaw in your system). The balance of $1216.08 then disappears. I battled for days to have them re-instate the remaining balance. I then was able to make a single purchase of $582.68 (after having to purchase multiple other tickets for the same event using cash - not the credit). SeatGeek STILL OWES ME $633. SeatGeek never responds in a timely manner in order for me to use these funds that are trapped in their system. SeatGeek stopped responding in Aug 2021. It is a ridiculous cycle.

Buyers Beware!! Carefully read ALL policies for SeatGeek before you purchase any tickets, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic. Even though they give an option to sell thru them in lieu of a non-refund, it is very difficult, time consuming, and expensive. You will definitely lose money if you can not attend an event. I had Covid and was in quarantine around the time of the event during the big Dec/Jan Covid surge.

I had 2 tickets in my cart and was filling out the order form. Each ticket had a fee of $90. When I went to make the purchase it said the tickets were no longer available. I selected new tickets that were $5 dollars more expensive. I purchased these but noticed the fee was now $146 per ticket. Feeling great urgency I bought these tickets before they also disappeared regardless of the 1000% increase in fee. I later reached out to Seat Geek and received an email several days later basically saying that fees vary. In my opinion, when a ticket price increases $5 and Seat Geek fee increases $56 that is unethical. I also felt it was predatory since the previous tickets suddenly vanished and I felt pressured to buy new tickets and just accept the increased fee or my new tickets would vanish.
Also, there was no warning that my initial tickets were no longer available. Other sites hold your tickets while you input the payment information and there is usually a clock that shows how much longer you have to reserve the tickets. Also, it seems impossible to speak to anyone at SeatGeek. They send canned responses and customer service has zero authority to do the right thing.

After 6 weeks of emails and phone calls the last lady basically said, "You cannot sell them on our site, sorry, good luck." Now we are out $200 and the company will not help sell our tickets or give a refund...bottom line, the company knows their software will not allow postponed events for selling tickets, has the power to change the software, however does not care to do so.

I purchased athletic tickets in August of 2021 for the Ohio State Buckeyes game at Ohio Stadium in Columbus for the Nov. 20, 2021 game against Michigan State. The total amount I paid for two tickets was $597.48, a once in a lifetime purchase for my husband and me, as an anniversary gift.

However, Ohio State could not control what was disclosed by SEATGEEK, a third party vendor.
I called SeatGeek to try to resolve the issue, and even though they never disclosed the OBSTRUCTED VIEW information as they should have prior to my purchase, they refused to honor their guarantee.

Without a US mobile number, you cannot sell your tickets! When I contacted customer service about it, instead of issuing a refund, I was told to search on Google for an alternative platform to sell my tickets... If SeatGeek cannot support customers without US numbers, they should not be selling tickets outside the US. Bottom line is that if you do not have a US phone number, you should not be booking through SeatGeek!

Plenty of scalped tickets for sale. A lot less than what I paid on SeatGeek.

Never having given a review, this one needs to be made. After spending lots of bucks for two tickets to see Trans-Siberian Orchestra in Cleveland at 3:00, we were initially told that the tickets would be made available later. For two days and many hours, I could not get tickets with bar codes sent to my mobile, which is the only way admission can be made. I was sent an "acceptance," of the tickets by the vendor, but when the message came that they were being "transferred" to my phone, that never happened no matter how many times I tried. Of course there was no one to help me; "form" responses are no help. The concert begins in 45 minutes and we can't go now. We are out of our money, which is the worst part. Be wary of buying these from SeatGeek when you can't get what you paid for on the spot!

My email account got hacked, so I lost every email in my inbox and trash folders. Unfortunately, this included my tickets purchased through Seatgeek. Unlike every other ticket provider, seatgeek does not give you access to your tickets on their website. They'll send you an email with your tickets and that's that. This is where everything went wrong.
At 8:30 in the morning ON THE DAY OF THE EVENT I HAD TICKETS FOR, I emailed seatgeek asking them to re-send my tickets. I went through all the extra info they needed to screen me, etc. By 2pm I hadn't heard anything, so I reached out again---PLEASE NOTE, THERE IS NO WAY TO CALL THEM, EITHER---THIS IS BY DESIGN, I'M SURE. They emailed me back at 3pm and said they had to reach out to the vendor I bought my tickets from, and would be in touch.
Well, the event I was going to started in a few hours so time was short. And it sure as hell wasn't a priority to seatgeek. Finally, at 6:30pm I got tired of waiting and ordered the same tickets for the same event through StubHub. And Stubhub emailed me my tickets, but also kept them available to me on their website. For some STUPID, RIDICULOUS REASON, seatgeek doesn't do that. It ended up costing me an additional $175 to buy the same seats from another ticket agency. I *will never* use seatgeek again.

Seat Geek is UNRELIABLE and UNTRUSTWORTHY! I paid for AZ Cardinals Christmas day game tickets as a present for my son who drove in from Canada but never received them. We went to the game because Seat Geek indicated tix could be electronically delivered anytime up to the event start time. Seat Geek has a long standing common problem of not ensuring customers get their tickets. So common that they don't even have a customer service contact number. Seat Geek's response is not to refund your money, instead they refer you to your bank for refund.

SeatGeek does not display its fees up front. SeatGeek will not refund you even if the event is rescheduled. It is nearly impossible to speak to a representative. Although they offer this option. SeatGeek has several Class Action Lawsuits against them. Stay away, I’m not sure why they are listed as reliable but Consumer Affairs may be sponsored by them.

I understand businesses and employees have no control what has happened regarding Covid, but stealing money from people who have purchased tickets for events is beyond wrong. I bought tickets for a particular time in which suited me. Why shouldn’t I have the option to be refunded for an event versus having to wait over a year for it to be rescheduled and on a date I can’t even go? Then, to top it off, customer service is completely unreachable! I sat on hold for over an hour trying to reach someone via phone to either get assistance with selling or getting a credit to my account due to being unable to go to the rescheduled event that I was only give a 5 days notice for. I’m a nurse and have to plan things at least a month in advance.
This entire situation is completely inconvenient and could have been avoided over a year ago when I requested a refund for the cancelled event because I knew that I probably wouldn’t be able to go whenever it was rescheduled. When you submit emails for help they never contact you back either. It’s all just a joke and honestly should just give up in my opinion cause I see a lot of one stars…frankly, if I could have left a 1/4 star I would have. Get your tickets from anyone else…you’ve been warned!

I purchased 5 tickets for the LA Chargers vs. Minnesota Vikings game at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on Sunday, November 14th through the online ticket exchange, SeatGeek. This transaction was completed using my son’s SeatGeek account and paid for using my Chase debit card. After the transaction was completed, there was no confirmation of the transaction; no email, no text message, nothing. The only evidence of the transaction was the $515.40 coming out of my Chase checking account.
On November 9, after nearly 2 months of not being able to confirm the transaction, I called the SeatGeek customer service phone number, which was found using a Google search. After holding for 35 minutes, a customer service agent named Adrian picked up the phone. I explained to Adrian that I was trying to confirm the aforementioned transaction.
I referenced my son’s email address, as this is the address associated with his SeatGeek account and after 20 seconds of looking for it, Adrian told me that he couldn’t locate the transaction and that I should contact my bank because the $515.40 never made it to them. He told me that the case had been “escalated” and that a supervisor would be contacting me about the matter. I asked if I could speak to a supervisor now and Adrian told me that there was no one to speak to now and that SeatGeek’s policy is to convey such messages to a supervisor who will contact the customer at a later time, but short of that, my only recourse is to seek reimbursement from my bank.
After I expressed my dissatisfaction, Adrian told me that there is nothing further that he could do about the matter and that I need to wait for a call from a supervisor. As it sits now, my family won’t be going to a game this Sunday, I’m out $515.40 and my bank is going to laugh at me when I explain to them that a SeatGeek customer service agent told me that Chase needs to give me back my money.

I don't usually post things like this, but I felt the need to share. My dad's 80th birthday is on Sunday and we purchased tickets for really good seats to the Dallas Cowboys vs. Denver Broncos game this Sunday as an extra special, once in a lifetime, birthday treat. I spent $4000 and we were so excited to go. Sadly, I got CoVID two weeks ago, and then my dad had to unexpectedly have an emergency heart surgery on Monday, followed by an Alzheimer's diagnosis on Tuesday. Given all of that, we decided yesterday we clearly couldn't go to the game.
I called SeatGeek to ask about a refund since this was an emergency and 100% out of our control. After sitting on hold for nearly an hour, I was told that there was no way I could get a refund. Then the customer service person flippantly suggested that I try and sell them (as if I hadn’t already tried). After I told him that was ridiculous that I couldn’t get a refund for such a serious reason and that that is a terrible policy, he got loud with me.
Now I know a phone line customer service person is not going to be able to do anything and doesn't make the rules, and that he probably got loud because he spends all day getting yelled at for ** he can't control, but SeatGeek WTF? I will never purchase tickets from you again and will make sure to tell everyone I know not to purchase tickets from you either. I understand not giving refunds for bad weather, missed flights, etc., but a real emergency, what is your problem? How have you stayed in business treating customers so poorly? And here's the thing, if they were cheap seats, it wouldn't even matter. I would have just given them away, but they weren't. It was supposed to be a special day. I went all out. I saved forever and spent more money than I make in a month for this really special thing.
My dad is sick. The last thing I want to worry about right now is tickets to some game, but based on your employees' suggestion, I should neglect those things and look for places to sell my tickets online because I have nothing more important to do and so many people are willing to drop a ridiculous amount of money on tickets to be used 3 days from now that it'll be a breeze.
I’m sure you’ll hide this post and that in the end it doesn’t really matter to you if you lose my business, but I hope whichever greedy person decided that was how your company should operate, and all the people that went along with it, get explosive diarrhea, while stuck in traffic, in the brand new car of their pregnant mistress, in which the windows are broken and won’t roll down, while the person they admire most just happens to be on the same congested freeway and gets just enough room in traffic to pull up next to them to clearly see them spewing filth out of all their orifices.

I bought tickets to a football game, and while I was unsure about my ability to make the game, I continued with the purchase because the following language was on the purchase confirmation page: "Returnable until 4:25pm on Sept. 9; Return your tickets for no extra cost. No questions asked." On Sept. 8, I tried to return the tickets, only to find out that I was only able to swap the tickets for future credit. This was not explained at all on the purchase confirmation page. I tried to find a customer support email or number on the website, to no avail.
I hunted down their phone number using another website, called them, and waited nearly an hour to speak to a live representative. She told me that the tickets could not be returned and canceled altogether - I could only get a credit if requested 72 hours before the game. She did say that she would appeal that to a supervisor and that I would receive a message back with further instructions. I asked her whether I would still be able to at least get the credit if, by the time I heard back from the supervisor, it was within 72 hours. She assured me that would be no problem.
I heard back from the supervisor within 72 hours of the game, denying my request to completely cancel the tickets, referring to fine print language in their user agreement that all sales were final (and did not address the explicit language quoted above on the purchase confirmation page). He also did not leave a name or contact number, and he did not address how to at least get the credit (which was no longer available to me now that it was within 72 hours).
I wrote back to an email address by responding to a message that the very first rep had sent me. Surprisingly, she contacted me by phone and assured me that I would be able to get the credit because I had called in before the 72 hour deadline and indicated my intent to return the tickets. But she did not know how to facilitate that process and told me she would contact me by phone or email later that evening. She did not, and she hasn't responded to the three emails I've sent as a follow up... now two days later.
Over the past few days, I have spent HOURS waiting on hold while calling their customer service line. The system disconnected with me several times. A couple times, after an hour or more of waiting, no one picked up. No return. No credit. The game is now just about 5 hours from starting, and I am likely to be screwed completely out of over $700.
Avoid this company like the plague. I am also asking anyone else to contact me if they have been induced to purchase a ticket through this company because of the assurance that the ticket would be "returnable" and not simply exchangeable. There may be a viable class action claim to be made on behalf of all such customers. To the senior management of this company: I will gladly update my review if I receive a full reimbursement for my purchase, but that notwithstanding, this company is in dire need of better leadership, policies and procedures, specifically as it pertains to customer service.

A ticket for an event was purchased and provided by SeatGeek that was not a valid form of entry to the event. Their Buyer Guarantee clearly states "Your tickets will provide valid entry to the event" and "If any of these things do not occur, you will be provided with comparable or better tickets to the event, or offered a refund." SeatGeek was contacted immediately when the ticket arrived and was discovered to not be useable. The wristband came tightened to the point that it is not wearable and the design of the clasp is such that it is impossible to loosen once it is tightened. I waited on hold for a collective 4 hours, was hung up on and given the runaround for one week until they told me they would not offer a refund for their mistake nor provide a valid replacement ticket to the event.

I purchased a pair of tickets directly from the box office via SeatGeek to the Bruce Springsteen on Broadway for August 2021. Unfortunately, I learned 16 days before the concert that I would not be able to attend and promptly set about trying to resell the tickets on the SeatGeek Marketplace as it appeared to be the most straightforward and simplest route since my tickets were digital. It has been a week since I tried to set up my account.
SeatGeek easily took my credit card information for their Buyer Guarantee program but setting up the "Payout Method" - in other words, how you will be paid - has been a nightmare. They fail to tell you that when you get a "listing failed" error message it is due to the identity verification requirement, which you complete by sending in a copy of a government-issued photo ID, which I get (I actually work in that business). But instead of making this crystal clear in advance, whether in their FAQs or elsewhere as you are setting up your account to sell your tickets, they only tell you to email them once you get that fail/error message. Only after you email them do you receive an automated message that tells you the ID verification information.
Once you've done that, it is radio-silence, as it has been for me for the past 6 days; no updates and every time I try to set up the "Payout Method" on the account, it fails. For a concert that happens in 10 days. They don't answer emails and provide no phone number. I found an alternate email address which also auto-replies with the following:
"Hi there, Thanks for reaching out to SeatGeek customer support! We’re currently experiencing a much higher volume of requests than usual, but we are doing our best to respond to all emails as quickly as possible. If your issue is urgent and your event is within 3 days, you can contact our support team via phone by logging into your SeatGeek account on the SeatGeek mobile app and clicking "Contact Support" under your Ticket details."
So I have to wait until 3 days before the show to ATTEMPT to sell my tickets....and who the hell knows if SeatGeek will even respond to "Contact Support" on their app, since they don't respond to either of their email addresses. I have next to ZERO confidence in this company...how do they not think through something as basic as warning their potential re-sellers that the mandatory identity verification is going to take XX amount of days? Banks and other merchants where you are inputting banking information will ALWAYS ask to verify your identity - accounts are opened every day, 24 hrs a day and the turnaround process on identity verification should be at most a day or two. The fact that it has been a week with SeatGeek really tells me they are running a subpar operation.

I purchased MLB tickets on July 10th through SeatGeek and the tickets were never forwarded to my email as that is the way I was to obtain them. After driving 8 hours to see my son’s favorite team play, I never received the tickets and had to purchase more. I was out a lot of money and time trying to contact the company on my vacation. I sent numerous emails to the company with no helpful response (at least 48 hours in advance), and then called their customer service number. After holding for 40+ minutes, I spoke to a man named Ken, who told me that he would call me back after he spoke to the seller. Ken never called me back. Point of this story, DO NOT GET TICKETS FROM THIS SITE!! I know that I never will again, and I am telling everyone about my experience.

They are not a reputable company, they have multiple complaints due to not providing tickets after taking money from their customers. I spent over $1000 for a concert and when I contacted them they told me that my tickets were being delivered 100% guaranteed. When the time for the concert came, I never got the tickets and the customer service was dismissive and rude when trying to explain the incredible frustrating situation they put me through.

WILL NEVER BUY TICKETS FROM SEATGEEK AGAIN EVER!!! Purchased US Open Tennis Tournament Tickets for two different dates (3rd SEP – 4 tickets bought and 6th SEP – 2 tickets bought) in two different ticket orders, specifically for Louis Armstrong Stadium. Received wrong tickets for both the orders. Can you believe it. Seller sent me tickets for Grandstand stadium instead of Louis Armstrong stadium for both orders. Seatgeek finally replied after few weeks, and they can’t help or get the tickets I initially purchased. They simply said sorry and offered to refund the money. This caused us a great deal of inconvenience as we booked our hotel room, and it ruined our entire plan. Now, the ticket prices have gone higher if I to re-purchase those tickets.
Based on this experience, I think the sellers on SeatGeek are doing this purposely so they can sell the correct tickets for the correct venue with higher prices as we get closer to the US open days. SeatGeek needs have better control or have some restriction to prevent issues like this. I saw similar review on this page where someone got the wrong tickets as well. REALLY DISAPPOINTED!!!

I am appalled at attitude that A.I. ins the cure all for all of life's woes. All it does is put the burden on the customer. Some they don't have to provide good service. Seat Geek is one of the most horrible experiences I have ever encountered. I paid almost $500 for two ticket to a high visibility SEC football game, and it has now been 2 months and I still don't have my tickets. Ownership changes when the money changes hands. I have owned those two tickets for two months now and I still have no tickets. I have asked for one of two things, my complete refund or my tickets.
I have too much invested on this event for this pinhead Jon "Jack" Groetzinger to play these games. I sent him notice that if I have to I can come to NY to get the tickets in person if he doesn't reply. No answer... So now I sent notice to his wife, and other members of his immediate family at the addresses. I am sure his family won't be very thrilled they are on my radar, so perhaps they can convince him to give me my damn tickets. I have about had it with this little 24 yr old skate-boarder. Do not ever do business with this gawd-awful company. If anyone feels the same way, just do your homework and get his family's addresses and bring them into the discussion.

I purchased tickets for a show on July 31st. I got an email saying that the site didn't have my tickets yet but that they would be in touch with further instructions on when and where I could pick these tickets up. Three hours before the concert and I still had not heard anything, I call back to ask for an update. Customer service gives me the run-around, saying that they are trying to get in touch with the seller and they will keep me informed. One hour before the show and I have still heard nothing.
We ended up having to buy expensive tickets just to get in to the venue because we waited up to the last minute for the purchased seats from SEAT GEEK to actually be delivered. Halfway through the concert, I get an email with the electronic tickets (these were Ticketmaster E-Tickets purchased and sold through the third party Seat Geek site). HALFWAY THROUGH THE CONCERT. What am I expected to do with this? The site offers a "buyer guarantee" and assures that you will get into your purchased event no questions asked. I called to get a refund the next day and continued to get the run-around from customer service.
I have the time-stamped email where the third-party seller sent the tickets well after showtime. I was hung up on twice and was told by one representative that he set up a scheduled call with his supervisor, which I have yet to receive.

Considering the issues already stated, he refused to transfer me to a supervisor and refused a refund. I’m expected to hope I actually get tickets. He also stated that SeatGeek can’t release tickets because there’s no barcode yet.

I was looking for ticket to a sporting event in a city on an upcoming trip. Was looking over different websites and stopped on SeatGeek. Their site is easy and user-friendly. Even better they offer seat views from each area to help make your choice easier. I found an area and clocked to add my card and purchase the seats. When receiving the email from them about my purchase I realize the date of the event was wrong. I reviewed the website for customer service phone number to call and explain my mistake. Of course, most companies make it difficult to find a human being and number to contact for service. So, the option was submit an email and they will gladly get back to you. After not receiving an email back later, I Google contact phone number. I call in order to get help in fixing my easy mistake and assistance to order the proper tickets which are way more expensive than these here I bought.
After a 26 minutes hold time, I make contact with their rep who starts to assist me. The short story is I am turned away saying, "We do not give the money back, that's our policy." I asked if they were serious about this? I figured this is a cut and dry case of wrong date and really all I am looking for is credit since I now must purchase the correct tickets for the correct date. I start to explain my displease kindly and not yelling or using foul language at all, and she hangs up on me. Look, I understand rules can be broken or assistance can be offered. I am a businessman in customer service where I deal in high end cars. I often (whether customer is right or wrong ) give people their money back because it's the right thing to do in make my business gain more happy customers. 3
We use their service at times to entertain our high end clients, but no longer. I am in charge of ordering tickets, but I will never again use them. I only wished I had read the review first before making this purchase. Everything in this world is a relationship business and easy word of mouth goes along time. It takes a lot of money to conquest a new customer.

Hi Monique,
Thanks for reaching out, I'd be happy to look into this order with you.
Your order for the upcoming UFC 262 Oliveira vs. Chandler match is confirmed and awaiting delivery. These tickets are Mobile Transfer tickets, which means they'll be delivered to your email address by the seller when available. I see that this event is on a "delayed release" which means tickets will be sent out to ticket holders 48 hours before the event begins.
That means you can expect an email with all of your ticket transfer information on 05/13, and we'll give you a heads up when we know the transfer has been sent.
In the meantime, I want to remind you that you are always protected by SeatGeek's Buyer Guarantee. This means that in the rare event that your tickets have any issues, we have options to help save the day! Depending on availability and your preference, we can find replacement tickets or refund you above and beyond your original purchase amount.

I ordered two sets of four SEC Championship mobile tickets from Seatgeek, the first set of four came instantly as expected and promised the other four hit endless delays. Meanwhile my invited guests could not book air and hotel while waiting for tickets to come. We had endless emails (complete documentation) and many calls with unfulfilled promises So plans were aborted and friends uninvited. The explanation by Seatgeek was that acting simply as middlemen they could not control their ticket source, Ticketmaster. Cancellation of the unfulfilled order was refused, and a disputed charge with AMEX ensued. Should the dispute with AMEX fail, I intend to look into further actions through my company’s Council as a matter of principal.
If you choose to do business with this group I suggest you only risk an amount you are comfortable losing. I lost a few thousand dollars, disappointed friends who wanted to join me as guests for the game, and ended up spending miserable weeks keeping my friends in flux about the game I had invited them to. In my opinion, this is a poor business and at no point did they live up to any promises made. I have bought multiple hundreds of tickets to national championships, bowl games and SEC playoffs with no problems. This is my first time getting burned. I fully expect the company reputation defenders to try to refute my assertions, express insincere concern over my discontent, and then suggest we talk; standard gobbledegook response to bad press. Do not be fooled. I also noticed a HUGE discrepancy in the review ratings on their website versus other review venues, you can check to see if you see the same differences.

Hi Andy,
Thanks for reaching out today, I'd be happy to help you with this!
I took a look at your order for Andre Rieu and see that this event was actually postponed to a future date. This event was rescheduled to 3/8/2021, which you can also see noted in your SeatGeek ticket tab.
As a secondary ticket marketplace, we have to abide by the ticket polices set by the Box Office. In this case, they are not currently accepting ticket returns for refunds, so likewise we also cannot currently offer refunds. As I mentioned, your tickets will be good for the new date, so all you'll need to do is update your calendar and show up for the new date.
That means you still have a few options, though! If you cannot make the new date, or if you’re no longer interested in attending, you have every right to list these tickets for resale. I’d be happy to walk you through that process if you like. If the event status changes to “cancelled”, we’ll reach out via email with the new steps to get this order refunded for you.
I know we're all looking forward to when we can safely enjoy live events together again. In the meantime, please rest assured that you are protected by our Buyer Guarantee.

I bought game 7 tickets to the World Series through SeatGeek for the Dodgers vs Rays. The good news the Dodgers, my hometown team won. The bad news I could not go see them in person. I read SeatGeeks guarantee if there was not a game 7 they would refund me my money. A week goes by, no refund. Two weeks go by, still no refund. So I email SeatGeek who emailed me verbatim "you will receive the email within 3 to 4 weeks since this is the process to follow for all events canceled due to COVID issues." To my knowledge that while Justin Turner did have a positive COVID test game 7 did not occur because the Dodgers had won the World Series and thus was impossible to happen. And the 3 to 4 weeks was just to receive the option for a refund.
Now over a month, they sent me options to obtain a 140% refund or a full refund. After choosing my full refund I am now told it will take an additional 30-45 days to receive my refund.

Thanks for reaching out on this, and sorry to hear that you've had a frustrating experience with us. I was very happy to see that your refund for this cancelled event has already been initiated, and that it will be in your account within the next few days!
Under normal circumstances, all refunds are sent within a week, but the sheer number of event cancellations has greatly impacted our processing timeframes. As circumstances improve, I know we're all looking forward to getting back to normal.
We are working as rapidly as we can to ensure each affected user is taken care of, so we truly appreciate your patience and understanding during this unusual waiting period. Unlike a simple credit card transaction, refunds are a manual reversal of funds and thus subject to external factors like bank hours and processing periods.
Lastly, I wanted to personally thank you for your efforts as an ER nurse. We are all depending on you and your coworkers, and your service is both commendable and heroic.
Best wishes,SeatGeek CX Team

Purchased 4 tickets to a football game thru Seatgeek. Tried numerous times to access tickets thru the link Seatgeek sent & kept getting an error. Tried changing password to access website, that didn't work either. Contacted seat geek who kept sending links to change password. After the 3rd attempt, representative stated there was a problem with their system. After missing 1st quarter & part of 2nd, was able to get the seating location so ticket office at stadium could print our tickets. Seatgeek refused to refund partial or fees considering we missed part of game due to fault with them. They stated since tickets were received, no refund. Horrible experience, will never use them again.
Hi Dorie,
Thank you for taking the time to write in. I've reviewed your case and found that your tickets were available in your SeatGeek account within a minute of your purchase, a full day before the event took place. While it does look like you had some trouble logging into your account and needed to reset your forgotten password, I do not see any issues on our end that would have prevented you from accessing the tickets. Because of this, we could not issue a refund for the properly delivered tickets.
I am really happy that you were able to receive assistance from the Box Office to print out the tickets and that you could get in before halfway. If we had had more time to work with you the day before the event, rather than the morning of, I am confident that we could have assisted you in navigated your inbox to reset your password. If you are still unable to access your account, please do let us know so that we can make sure you have reliable access.
You can reach us via email or phone and we are available every day from 10AM-10PM. Really hoping to get this sorted out for you, Dorie!

I will never use SeatGeek again or recommend that anyone else use it! It is absolutely impossible to speak to anyone regarding a refund of the purchase price of 4 tickets to The Rolling Stones concert in Minneapolis in May. The concert has not been cancelled only "postponed" to who knows when! SeatGeek was very happy to sell the tickets but now refuse to even speak to me about the situation. I've emailed the company several times only to get the standard response that is found in their FAQs.
I understand that there is an astronomical amount of work and money involved in refunding all the tickets to events that have been cancelled or "postponed" due to Covid but I strongly feel that as this type of business they need to be prepared (possibly insured?) to refund tickets any time events are cancelled or postponed, not just during a pandemic. I know I'm out a lot of money and from the sounds of it so are a lot of other people. I'm glad someone was able to sue them. Maybe it will help all others in the same situation.
Hi Theresa,
Sorry to hear you've had some trouble contacting us! I haven't found any emails in our customer service inbox, so please double check that you're reaching us at hi@seatgeek.com if you have other questions or feedback.
I took a look at your account and can confirm that your event was postponed to a future date. Your original tickets will be honored and valid for the new date once it’s been set by the promoters—Don’t worry, we’ll keep you up to date on all the decisions as they happen!

I purchased about $1000 in tickets for an event in March which was obviously cancelled due to COVID. I tried to be patient and understanding that it would take a while to get a refund. I contacted them 6 or 7 times asking for an update. The concert was cancelled but they insisted it would get rescheduled so they wouldn't do anything about my money. Long story short I finally get an email stating the acknowledge the concert is canceled and I will get a credit towards my account. I call and ask them to change it to a direct return of my money which they do but will now take 30 - 45 days. It's now October. I've been out $1000 for 8 months now. This should be illegal to keep people's money this long for services not rendered. Will never purchase through them again.
Hi Brooke,
After reviewing your order I'm happy to see we were able to get you fully refunded. I definitely understand the frustration with the timeline, it's been a difficult year and it's affecting the timeframe of many processes--Both on our end and with the venues that ultimately decide how concerts will proceed.
It looks like we received official word of your event cancellation on 10/6/2020, which is when we were able to offer refund options. Up until a venue cancels an event, the Box Office usually refuses to refund ticket holders since the original tickets are still valid. As a secondary marketplace, we have to follow their policy.
Right now, we're experiencing slow downs in our payment processors, so all cash refunds are taking between 30-45 days to reach accounts. It is our sincere hope that we will be able to return to our previous timeline soon!
If you have any remaining questions, you can reach out to us at hi@seatgeek.com.

Due to factors outside of our control, a cash refund can take up to 45 days to show up in your bank account.

SeatGeek is the worst ticket reseller that I've ever used. I purchased tickets to a Billy Joel concert that was scheduled for June of 2020. Due to the pandemic that concert wasn't canceled, it was rescheduled to December 20, 2020. This wasn't ideal as our vacation plans were schedule for June and not December however, we thought we could make it work. Unbelievably, this event was just rescheduled to February of 2022. What? You have to be kidding me? I immediately requested a refund but was told I couldn't have one because it was reschedule.
Rescheduling an event for two years after when it was supposed to happen isn't rescheduling, it's canceling without return of money. In my opinion, this is a dishonest way to do business. My recommendation is to avoid SeatGeek at all cost. There are many other companies out there that provide refunds to their customers. Stubhub is one of them. I had Broadway tickets that I purchased from Stubhub and they immediately returned my money. Stay away from SeatGeek!
Hi Mark,
I appreciate you taking the time to leave a review. I'd like to explain the situation a little farther.
In the case of the postponed Billy Joel concert, the event organizers have currently chosen to postpone to a far out date: Feb 2022. I believe their hope is to avoid making any other changes, especially since everyone is unsure how to plan for the future given our current circumstances.
We understand that this puts fans in a frustrating situation. As a secondary ticket marketplace, we have to abide by the ticket polices set by the Box Office. In this case, they are not currently accepting ticket returns for refunds, so likewise we also cannot currently offer refunds.
That means you still have a few options, though! If you cannot make the new date, or if you’re no longer interested in attending, you have every right to list these tickets for resale. With a popular event like this, and one scheduled so far out that it'll likely be unaffected by the current pandemic, you have a great shot of recouping your money. I’d be happy to walk you through that process if you like. If the event status changes to “cancelled” at any point, we’ll reach out via email with the new steps to get this order refunded for you.

I was denied refund for concert tickets because it was postponed & not cancelled. It is a shame that SeatGeek is not providing refunds for concerts that have been postponed out a year or more. There is no way to know if I will be able to attend the rescheduled concert date in a year, or sell my tickets on my own (as they suggest), or be able to collect the equivalent amount for full price that I spent on the tickets. I think they are taking advantage of the customers, the very people who keep their business afloat, during a vulnerable and unprecedented time with the corona pandemic at hand. I received refunds for flights, hotels, Vegas shows, restaurant reservations, and other postponed concerts through TicketMaster.
This tells me that SeatGeek is one of the selfish few who will keep my money, even in light of the financial hardships that we are all facing with the closure of businesses and employees sitting at home with no source of income. It is a direct reflection of how little they value their customers, how little they care for their customers' satisfaction, and their total disregard for the financial well-being of their fellow mankind. I have read many other reviews and complaints online regarding the refusal to refund tickets and I can assure you (and certainly hope) that future business will suffer, as the customers who have been loyal to them will seek other ways to procure event tickets in the future. Sadly disappointed.

Seat Geek did eventually refund my purchase but it took months. I honestly cannot recommend them over other ticketing sites as the time and effort it took me to finally get in touch with someone was unacceptable. Not having a customer service phone number to actually speak to someone is frustrating and is not something I would want to deal with again. While I appreciate them finally doing the right thing, I cannot say I would ever want to risk going through something like this again with their company.
Original Review: July 10, 2020
SeatGeek is the worst ticketing site ever. We are in the middle of a pandemic and many events are being cancelled. I requested a refund in full and instead got a credit that is valid for 12 months. I am an at risk person and the likelihood of being able to safely attend a concert within the next year is pretty low. I have been unable to speak to a representative as there is no phone number or email available to contact. I specifically asked for a refund and without any communication they send a credit. This is absolutely unacceptable.
While I understand the pandemic has made it hard for both buyer and seller, they should offer full refunds unless the customer is ok with a credit. I’m mortified that I’m going to lose nearly $700 as there is no guarantee it will be safe to return to large events within 12 months. You need to do better SeatGeek - customers safety should always come first. I will NEVER use them again for my ticketing purchases. What a mistake! Stay away from them as there are so many more reliable ticketing sites out there.

6/25 - I called and spoke with a rep who repeated the 7 day limit on refunds. I asked about the reason for 7 days and she mentioned that's what the seller wanted. She was going to check with her team and get back to me, the call ended. 6/25 - I called back and spoke with another rep and had a similar conversation. I asked why 7 days instead of some other number. She said a survey was sent to customers and that's what the customers wanted.

I will never use them or services like theirs (ticket reseller site) every again.

The Weeknd postponed his concert unfortunately. I am very unhappy that I am locked in for one year. I wouldn't mind waiting the year But I am getting married on that date. I paid a lot of money for those tickets and I highly doubt I will be able to get what I paid for them because of your NO REFUND POLICY.... I will never purchase tickets from you guys again. I have friends that it went through Ticket Master and they are getting fully refunded... They are in my wedding party. This situation is very frustrating.

Rollings Stones Concert, San Diego, CA. I am seeking a full refund for 2 tickets, $748.00. I do not plan on traveling anywhere, especially via airlines, and coronavirus effects/restrictions will most likely be around for next 2 years. When purchasing my concert tickets, I was not informed SeatGeek was a 2nd party for actual event vendor. I cannot sell my tickets to anyone while coronavirus is active. CONCERT VENDOR NEEDS TO REIMBURSE DESPITE THEIR PLANS TO RE-SCHEDULE.

I bought tickets to Swanlake. Cancelled due covid19 for April 16 at the Detroit opera house... I need my money for food and bills and they have not returned it and can't be contacted... I will never buy from SeatGeek. They are liars and thieves when the world is most vulnerable.... I will continue to put a bad review everyday until I receive my refund.... Pls stop sending future advertising.

The Bachelor. I wanted a refund. It is only in postponed mode. I have been off my job for 2 months because I have compromised conditions which puts me in much danger of contracting COVID-19. I need the money.

STAY AWAY! I purchased hockey tickets through Seat Geek. They promise that the tickets will be DELIVERED in time for the performance or your money back. I NEVER received my tickets and I missed the game! A third party NOT associated with Seat Geek told me that my seats were available a few days prior to the game but the download failed and they were not able to deliver my tickets. Seat Geek refused to refund my money so I requested that the charge be reversed on my credit card. Seat Geek is now fighting me tooth and nail to keep that money even though they know their 3rd party source failed to deliver my tickets. Folks, this is NOT Ticketmaster. It isn't Stub Hub either. The other sellers DELIVER the tickets. STAY AWAY!
