    I have had two terrible experiences with Seat Geek. The first was when we bought tickets for a Lakers game and at confirmation of the purchase saw they were for the wrong date. We immediately called and emailed Seat Geek to tell them of this mistake, but they went ahead and confirmed the order and we got stuck with these tickets. We then went to purchase tickets for the game we wanted, and the website said they were 2 consecutive seats in Row 12, but when we got the confirmation, they were really "piggyback" seats with one in Row 12 and one in Row 13. That information was in the small print that we did not see- all it said was that they were 2 seats in Row 12. Now we find out that no other online ticket re-seller will take just 2 piggyback seats to resell- only 4 seats. We are so frustrated and angry. Will NEVER use Seat Geek again.

    Hey Lisa,

    Thanks so much for sharing your feedback here. Your experience here sounds so frustrating! I'd like to take a moment to discuss our policies around returns and ticket disclosures.

    As you may know, the SeatGeek Marketplace is a platform which connects buyers and sellers of the secondary ticket market. This means that we do not own the inventory on our site, and because of that, we are limited when it comes to refunding orders. In general, all orders are considered final as soon as the buyer clicks that "Pay" button. The ticket is only in a pending state in the sense that the seller is confirming their availability, but as the tickets have been pulled for sale and the seller has forfeited other selling chances from that point, we are not able to cancel an order for a buyer after the order has been placed.

    When it comes to piggyback tickets - SeatGeek is happy to allow these tickets to be sold, as they often allow buyers to get better deals if they're willing to sit behind-and-front instead of side-by-side. Because this is unorthodox though, it is very, very important to us that these kinds of seats are clearly noted. As you mentioned, this order was indeed noted to have piggyback seats. That note is in the same-sized text as other order details, and displayed on the event page when a listing is first clicked, at checkout under the "Notes" section at the top of the page, as well as on the order page itself after the purchase is made.

    We hope this helps to clarify a bit about our policies and give some context to your experience with us. If you have any questions at all though, please don't hesitate to reach out and we'll be happy to help!

    Updated review: Oct. 16, 2018

    I wrote a review earlier about the stress I had in getting the tickets to the Notre Dame vs Pitt game on October 13th. With a trip planned with 2 people flying to South Bend from Cali, and my wife and I driving 500 miles to South Bend, we had not yet received our tickets and it was the 11th. As mentioned in my previous review, we had dialog with SeatGeek by email and a couple of calls. On the afternoon of the 11th, we got a call from SeatGeek and we were told the ticket provider had failed to mail the tickets out we paid $800 for in January 2018.

    SeatGeek then upgraded our seats from the end zone to the 50 yard line 30 rows up at no extra charge. The tickets were immediately sent via “E-ticket” for us to print out. The trip was a success, SeatGeek pulled it off. But there was still some anxiety about actually getting the tickets. My advice to SeatGeek would to convert all the tickets to E-Tickets rather than rely on the mail. They pulled a rabbit out of their hat.

    Original Review: Oct. 8, 2018

    We purchased 4 ticket to the October 13th Notre Dame vs Pitt game. We bought the tickets in January 2018. We are meeting friends from California for the game and we are driving from Northern Michigan to South Bend, a 10-hour drive. We get an email saying our tickets will be mailed to us on October 10th. Really? So we can’t leave on our trip until our tickets arrive.

    Fortunately we have a dialogue on email and have offered to pay for FedEx to ship us the tickets. At this point, anxiety is high and I am pissed. We can’t leave for South Bend until our tickets arrive. Even if I get the tickets in time, I will never use this vendor again. I used StubHub once and it was flawless as they had a pickup site outside Lambeau Field at a hotel in Green Bay. Stress of not having the tickets is not worth it. With friends flying across country to get to South Bend, what do I do if the tickets don’t arrive. Easy, hire a lawyer I guess.

    Hey Steve,

    We're delighted to hear that this was addressed for you! Those replacement tickets sound absolutely killer, and we hope you had a great time!

    As a bit of context: Ticket conversions can be a bit hit-or-miss, which is why they aren't offered preemptively. The venue is the ultimate decider on whether that option will be available or not, and not all venues are accommodating when it comes to re-issuing or converting tickets, particularly if they are aware that the tickets have been resold on the secondary market.

    That's why it's so important to make sure you buy your tickets from a market with a robust guarantee - just like in this instance, if there's a failure in the delivery of your tickets, that guarantee can make all the difference!

    We're super pleased that this situation worked out so well. If there's ever anything we can be doing to make sure your next experience is the top, we hope you'll let us know!

    I purchased tickets over a month ago and still don’t have them! I emailed and called but I’m getting nowhere. When I called the representative told me all supervisors were in a meeting on a Saturday at 4 pm! Really! Doubtful! They have my $400 and I have no tickets. Don’t buy from them and lose your money. StubHub gets the tickets to you within a few days!

    I purchased Chubbie tickets for my mom a couple days before Labor Day. She told me the next day she wasn’t going to be able to go so I had them resold. I received the notification that the tickets had been sold. A week later my payment was never received. I thought maybe it was because I hadn’t put my bank information in, so I went and did that and waited a few more days. Two weeks later still no payment. I contacted my bank and was told that no payment had not come through so I contacted SeatGeek. Just to be told that I needed to contact my bank which I had already done.

    The employee then says, "Okay it’s going to take 5-7 more days," before I receive the payment. It’s now a month from when my payment was supposed to go through and I’m being told the payment was sent through PayPal. Now I am taking this to BBB because I never used PayPal to pay for the tickets so how could the refund be sent via a platform I never used and you don’t have access to. The entire process has been shady and I will not being using this company again.

    Hey Ashley,

    Thanks for posting your feedback! It looks like we've been in contact with you on this. As we discussed, there was a miscommunication about sending your payout via PayPal - this was paid out using our payment processor as usual.

    Miscommunications like these are definitely not OK - they cause unnecessary worry, as you've experienced, and we do our best to keep them from happening!

    Looking at your account now, I see that a payment for this sale was issued to the bank account you have listed for a payout on 9/4. The bank did not return those funds, so from our end, it looks like this was paid out as expected. If you have not received these funds yet, please let us know - we'll be happy to get our Payments team involved and make sure you receive the funds you are due.

    I purchased 18 tickets for the Southwest Classic - Arkansas vs. Texas A&M game through SeatGeek. Saturday morning, I went to download the tickets on my SeatGeek app. When I clicked on the "tickets" tab at the bottom of my app, rather than the app displaying my tickets, it showed general information like AT&T Stadium policies, weather and directions. When I could not find my tickets on my app, I then logged into my SeatGeek account on desktop computer, again I was presented with the same general information rather than tickets. Convinced I was just overlooking something, I called your 888 number for assistance around 8:00a. I was then told that I did not have any tickets for the game, because the 18 tickets I had purchased from SeatGeek were actually in the reserved for the band.

    I was then assured that the SeatGeek Team was working on allocating me new tickets, and I would receive an email within 20 min, with my new tickets. Around 8:45a, I had received no correspondence from SeatGeek and there were no new tickets in my inbox. So I called the 888 number back. After waiting on hold for about 20 min, I was then connected with a customer service representative, who I talked to from roughly 9a-10a. She was beyond unhelpful, providing me no further insight as to when I would receive my new tickets, only repeating "we are working on it". She could not give me a timeline for when I would receive my new tickets, nor could she even guarantee I would have the tickets before the game started at 11. I also asked if there was a supervisor I could speak to, she told me that they were all currently in meetings.

    After your customer service line was able to provide me absolutely no help, I reached out a personal contact that sells boxes at AT&T Stadium. I felt completely embarrassed explaining my situation to him and like a total fool pleading for his help. Fortunately, he was able to contact a direct SeatGeek/AT&T Stadium Representative for me. Minutes before the game started, I was emailed new tickets from him. Unfortunately the tickets were not "comparable or better tickets to the event" (as promised in your SeatGeek Guarantee) and instead a section above the ones I had originally purchased. We arrived at AT&T Stadium around 10a, planning to enter the game a little bit early. Instead, myself + my party of 17 stood outside of the stadium for almost an hour, waiting on our tickets to get into the stadium (to add to the irony of this whole situation, it was pouring rain).

    I had several friends who traveled from out of state for this game, and our morning was completely ruined. I was never notified via a phone call, an app notification or email that the tickets I had originally purchased were in fact unavailable. The only reason I was able to troubleshoot the issue, is because I tried to download my tickets early - what would have happened if I tried to download my tickets moment before we entered the stadium? Also, had I not had a contact at AT&T Stadium, I do not believe we would have ever received the tickets in time for the game.

    Again, per your SeatGeek Guarantee, the "tickets I received were not the same as the ones I was ordered" nor was I "provided with comparable or better tickets to the event". After contacting the customer service email this morning asking for a refund of 2685.24 (my original purchase price), they were unable to do that. Instead, offered me a $200 credit on my SeatGeek account. This does me no good, as I do not plan on ever purchasing from SeatGeek again in the future, due to its unreliability.

    Hey Taylor,

    We absolutely understand your disappointment here. In this instance, SeatGeek is a partner with AT&T Stadium, and we are the primary ticketer for the event. In this case, it looks like there were not seats reserved for the band, and this error wasn't discovered until the seats needed for the band were already sold. This was not a situation we or AT&T Stadium wanted any customer to have to go through, so rather than simply refunding the seats (though that option was there for customers who preferred it), we all worked to find alternative seats for our customers. We recognize that this was a difficult situation, made worse by the last-minute nature of the discovery of the issue, and we really appreciate you working with us to find alternatives.

    In this case, while the seats you received were not on the same level as your original tickets, they were Club Seats that came with a private space, amenities, and access to special lounges. While these are usually a bit more spendy than regular seats, we worked with AT&T to make them available for those affected by this issue. We hope that your party was able to enjoy the event despite the trouble!

    We definitely do recognize the stress this change put on you, which is why we offered an additional promo credit as a courtesy. This is a very unique situation that we do not anticipate repeating itself. If you ever have any concerns about this that you would like to discuss further, please do not hesitate to reach out.

    The short of the story is, they were very nice and helpful with an issue I was having but don't tell me "don't worry, we are going to get you to the game" then call me back 20 minutes later saying "nope, nothing we can do! Sorry." I get she was trying to be positive but after a day of terrible service from another company hearing her say that made me so hopeful to only be crushed again. Don't say it if you can't do it.

    I was trying to purchase 2 US Open tickets for the August 29th 11 am session so I went on the SeatGeek mobile application > 24 hours prior to the event. The first attempt to buy 2 tickets through the app using the Touch ID failed with an error message from the SeatGeek app and the tickets were never put in my account. So less than 2 minutes later I went on again to find tickets and purchased them from the SeatGeek app but they would be fulfilled from Ticketmaster. I got a confirmation of those tickets and I saw them in the Tickets tab of the application. Later that morning I saw the first 2 ticket I had tried to purchase in my app Tickets tab also but they were mobile tickets and the app wouldn't produce a QR code so in addition to the fact I had 2 other tickets from Ticketmaster. The first set were useless as there was nothing to be scanned at the gate.

    The Ticketmaster seats were not yet confirmed and I had the chance to cancel them so I called customer service at SeatGeek to find out what to do. With < 24 hours until my event was to start the group of terrible customer service reps had no sense of urgency or awareness of what was happened and no idea how to resolve the fact that the mobile tickets were not showing up on my phone. I deleted and re-installed the app from the App Store but to no avail. To this day I see the tickets in my app but no QR code gets generated. The SeatGeek group was no help at all so finally the next day I grabbed the tickets from Ticketmaster before they expired and went to the event. SeatGeek still has the nerve to charge me the cost of the unusable tickets. This has been the worst experience ever dealing with a company.

    Hey Nikhil,

    Thanks for reaching out! We sympathize with your frustration here. It looks like two orders were placed for this event on your account, and you were hoping to be able to cancel one. I'd like to offer a bit of clarity around our policies.

    As you may know, the SeatGeek Marketplace is a platform which connects buyers and sellers of the secondary ticket market. This means that we do not own the inventory on our site, and we use our agreements with buyers and sellers to help make sure transactions go smoothly.

    Because of this, we are only able to secure refunds from sellers in situations where the terms of our Buyer Guarantee are not met. Otherwise, all sales are considered final, which is typical of the secondary ticket market. This unfortunately means that there was no way to cancel your order after it had been placed.

    Looking at your two orders, it looks like they were delivered from two different sellers through two different methods. Order 6P2-ZNGLQ6 is the one that was sent to you through Ticketmaster, while order GDZ-L83RGV was uploaded directly onto SeatGeek the day before the event.

    It looks like you had issues connecting to SeatGeek to access those tickets about a half hour before the event, so you contacted us via email. I've checked and confirmed that there were no technical issues on our end at this time, so it doesn't seem to be a connection issue on our end that prevented you from accessing those tickets. We responded by asking which order you were having difficulty with and letting you know where to access each set of tickets, and did not receive a response until around 2 pm, well after the event had started at 11 am. If we had known sooner what order you were having trouble with, we would have been happy to help find a workaround for the connection issues you experienced.

    That said, by the account given to us in earlier emails, you had intended to use the tickets on SeatGeek and decline the delivery through Ticketmaster for the other order if you had been able to access them. It's worth being clear that this would not have secured you to a refund of the Ticketmaster tickets, as all sales are still considered final at the time of purchase. Declining delivery of tickets does not cancel the sale, since the seller has already committed to delivering those tickets to you and forgone other selling opportunities by that point.

    We recognize that this was a disappointing situation and would like to do what we can to help ease the pain and retain you as a customer, if you're still willing to discuss this with us. We were unable to do anything at the time because you had indicated that you were filing a chargeback, which cuts off our ability to do anything as a courtesy. That said, if you'd like to discuss this further, please email us and we'll be happy to see if we can work something out here.

    Seatgeek was able to get me tickets comparable to the ones I originally ordered.

    If tickets are not confirmed when originally ordered, that should be explicitly stated in the order receipt, and if it's possible you won't get the tickets that you've ordered, that should be made clear before the purchase so that you can make an informed decision.

    In the end, it took a few different times reaching out before the issue was resolved, and I fear not everyone affected is as persistent. I do appreciate the effort that was taken in the end to resolve my issue.

    Original Review: Sept. 21, 2018

    I purchased tickets to a New York Mets game on 9/29/2018. At the time I made the purchase, the ticket prices were rapidly rising because of a recent announcement of a player's retirement. I caught 3 tickets that had previously been around $6 at $53 each - a steep but reasonable price given the once-in-a-lifetime significance of the game. The day after my purchase, I received a call explaining that they would not be able to fulfill my order and that I would be refunded. They explained that if I wanted tickets, I could pay the current price of over $200 per ticket. They claimed that the tickets I ordered were not available. There were tickets just like mine still available on the marketplace, but they wouldn't offer to fulfill my order with different tickets given the rise in prices.

    SeatGeek should fulfill the order and provide tickets to people when they make a sale. I know for sure that if I bought tickets from them and the prices went down, they wouldn't offer me a refund just because I had buyer's remorse, so why do they get to cancel my order just because prices went up after I paid? It's dishonest and unethical, and I do not recommend anyone do business with SeatGeek.

    Hey Matt,

    Thanks for reaching out. It looks like we're also working with you over on the BBB website, but just to reiterate some of what we've discussed there --

    Some listings on SeatGeek are not through sellers listing directly through us, but are aggregated from third-party vendors. When a listing is being sold from a third-party vendor, you are informed at ticket selection and checkout that your order is being placed with them and under their terms. For these orders, not only does SeatGeek not handle any aspect of order fulfillment, but payment also does not come through us. We have not received or sent any communications

    regarding this order - that call was from your vendor rather than us. Any issues with orders typically need to be resolved with that third-party vendor, and SeatGeek is here to be a guide and advocate for you.

    In this instance though, we recognize the situation is especially troubling, and we want to do whatever we can to help out. If you can, please send us a copy of any emails you received from your vendor regarding this order - particularly anything that shows a confirmed order or that your tickets were guaranteed - to hi@seatgeek.com. While we're limited in what we may be able to do here, it's very important to us that we take the best care of you possible, and getting this information will help!

    Seat Geek has promised to refund my full purchase price and admitted I never received the email I was suppose to in order to have the instructions to download another website to print my tickets. We ended up cancelling our plans to go to the game which was a bummer but I wasn’t about to put out another $200 and run the risk of no tickets again! Lesson learned. #buyticketselsewhere.

    Original Review: Sept. 21, 2018

    I recently bought Dodger game tickets on SeatGeek. I usually buy the e-tickets or instant download tickets and have ALWAYS been able to print them immediately after I complete my purchase. This transaction was not the case, 2 days later, no tickets available because SeatGeek is still trying to contact the seller. I have emailed SeatGeek and asked them to refund my money and I will buy other tickets elsewhere. I contacted my credit card company as well to advise them I was requesting a refund. The game is today, why wouldn’t the ticket seller want to get his or her money is beyond me.

    I will never use SeatGeek again which is a shame because I have always appreciated their services and purchased many tickets with little to no problem previously. There are other ticket sites that I will start using. I wish SeatGeek would have responded with me in a way that made me feel comfortable that they even cared but instead I got an email yesterday that simply stated they were waiting to hear from the seller... Well duh, I was doing that too!! Thank you but no thank you SeatGeek!

    Hey Lori,

    Thank you so much for sharing your experience here. We definitely understand your hesitation on placing another order, and we really regret seeing it kept you from enjoying the game! We'd like to discuss a bit more about what happened here and why you can feel confident this wouldn't happen again in the future.

    Looking at your order, it looks like you were affected by a rare bug where the seller uploaded your tickets to our site, but they did not get delivered through to your account. This is actually a very easy fix - all we need is to be notified that you haven't received the tickets and have time to reach out to the right experts, and we can get them to you manually right away! In this case though, it looks like we were not contacted until you had already decided you needed a refund so you could buy elsewhere. When we let you know we'd take steps to get you your tickets, you responded by letting us know that you had cancelled your travel plans rather than securing other tickets. At that point, we bought the tickets back from you as a courtesy so that you could get a full refund.

    We understand this was not a great experience, but hopefully this gives a bit more context to the issue that you experienced and how it would be fixed in the future, if you were ever to encounter it again. Please let us know if you ever need help with anything else!

    SCAM! On more than one occasion I’ve purchased NFL and College football game tickets. I use the website to choose my seats at a reasonable price. A few days later I get an email saying I’ve been given “upgraded seats” all I have to do I accept. When I research said “upgrade seats” I come to find that they are cheaper seats sold for less than what I paid. When I request to keep my seats I’m told I have to accept the “upgrade” or get a refund. What kind of business company is this? I’ve let it go in the past but it’s unprofessional and it’s a SCAM. If you accept these “upgrades” you’re being robbed. Plain and simple. Also why even have a website with seats to choose from? Why not call it a lottery and tell customers they’ll get whatever seats they want to give you and not what we choose. It’s deceiving and unprofessional. Last time I use SeatGeek.

    Response from SeatGeek

    Hey Rodolfo,

    Thanks for sharing your feedback. Upgrades are not very common on our site, so it's surprising you've experienced this multiple times! They are only allowed to be offered by sellers for certain events. This does not include NFL tickets - I don't see any notes on our end of this happening to any of your NFL orders, but please let me know what order was affected like this so we can investigate.

    In general, we expect upgrades to be just that - UPGRADES. However, that is determined by the section and row offered, not by the ticket value, since ticket value is constantly fluctuating on the secondary market. For example, looking at your recent order where upgrades were offered, it looks like tickets for your section were priced around $45 at the time you purchased about a month ago, but prices have dropped significantly since then and you can easily get a 20 row upgrade for the same price that you originally paid. Ticket prices could have increased just as easily though, and the seller's offer would have remained the same, since these are the tickets they received from their source instead of the ones you original ordered.

    In instances like these, sellers may still offer upgrades - but luckily, you do not have to take them if you think you can source better tickets yourselves! In this case, it looks like you opted for a cancellation of the order instead, and we expect you'll be able to get some great alternate tickets with the change in price over time.

    Hopefully that helped add some context to this experience! Please let us know if there's ever anything else we can help with.

    Purchased tickets and was unable to enter the game due to someone entering the venue with the same tickets. Seems the seller sold to multiple parties. SeatGeek customer service said someone attended the game and unable to refund due to a scan report showing this. I clearly didn't attend.

    Hey Jay,

    Thank you so much for reaching out. This is definitely a strange situation. As you may know, SeatGeek is the ticketing partner for AT&T Stadium. This means that for events at this venue, we are the party that issues barcodes, and we have access to a lot of information behind-the-scenes as a result. Whenever a ticket for this venue is sold on SeatGeek, we can see the journey of those tickets, including when the barcodes for those tickets changed (invalidating any version of those tickets before that point).

    In this case, we can see that the barcode for those tickets was re-issued at the time you took possession of those tickets, meaning that the only valid barcode that would work for the stadium is the one on your specific copy of the tickets. This means that there is no possibility of another set of those regenerated barcodes being out there as a result of a previous owner, such as your seller. Because we can see this, and because the venue reported that that specific set of barcodes was scanned in at the event, we are unable to find any evidence that points to these tickets being sold to multiple parties.

    If you have any evidence at all from the venue showing that you were turned away due to these tickets already being used, we would be very happy to look into this further with you.

    Total Scam. Bought tickets for David Wright's last game when announce came out for $25 each. Received confirmation, then next day my tickets were "magically" unable to be processed. This was obviously untrue as my credit card has been processed many times by them before - SeatGeek is obviously selling that ticket for the now much higher price of $300. What crap.

    Hey Kristie,

    Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I absolutely understand your disappointment here, and I'd like to take a moment to discuss our policies on refunds and what happened with these tickets.

    SeatGeek is a platform for buyers and sellers to make transactions on the secondary ticket market. Because of this, SeatGeek does not own the inventory on our site - we're just providing a venue for buyers to find deals and sellers to make sales. Since we are not the seller, we don't have a lot of leeway when it comes to securing refunds - we can only do that in instances where the seller has not fulfilled their end of the bargain.

    When it comes to those event names, we are pretty specific - for example, this game was described as "New England Patriots *at* Jacksonville Jaguars", so you can know that the game is taking place at the Jaguars' home team. We also list the event date and the venue specifically on the event page, and all this information is restated on the checkout page as well.

    It's always disappointing when the circumstances mean that we can't secure a refund for a buyer, we always advise reselling to recoup the cost. It looks like you were able to do that and get most of your money back, which we're delighted to see! That said, we do understand that this was an upsetting situation for you, and we hope very much that if there is ever anything we can help out with in the future, you won't hesitate to let us know. We really do want for every user's experience with us to be the very best possible, and we hope that if you ever do choose to give us another try, we'll be able to give you a stress-free and seamless experience!

    Hey there,

    Thank you for posting about your experience. Sellers on our site are held to strict standards in order to prevent any double-sales from taking place, but simple human error is always a risk on the secondary market. That's why we back up all sales on our site with our Buyer Guarantee, so that fans aren't left empty-handed because of a seller error. Situations like these are rare but upsetting, and it's important to us that we follow up properly to make this right for you.

    Since three weeks is much longer than an investigation with us tends to take, I've gone ahead and reviewed this situation to sort out what happened here.

    It looks like you first reported your experience on August 31st, at which point we asked you for some information to start our investigation. It looks like we did not get a response until Sept 4th, at which point we let you know it could take about a week to investigate. A week later, on Sept 11th, we let you know the investigation was complete and asked for your information to get your refund sent. The refund was sent out that day, and it usually takes about 3-5 business days for those funds to reach your account, depending on your bank's processing speed.

    You can expect those funds back in your account any day now, once your bank has processed them to your account. If you haven't seen them by the end of day on Tuesday, please give your bank a call and check on the status with them, and let us know if the bank has any trouble getting that sorted for you.

    I do not recommend using SeatGeek's services when purchasing tickets. If any issues arise with your order they recommend using a different platform to sell you tickets (i.e. Ticketmaster or StubHub). If they recommend you to another company, why not just skip a step and buy from the company who has the ability to modify, exchange, or cancel your order. Very disappointed and don't foresee myself ever using their services again. Do Not Use.

    Hey there,

    Thanks for sharing your feedback! I'd like to take a moment to offer a bit of context for your experience.

    Like most secondary marketplace sites, SeatGeek is not the owner of the inventory on our site, but is connecting buyers with sellers and helping make ticket buying easy and safe. Because of this, we not able to offer refunds except for situations covered by our Buyer Guarantee. In general, when buying tickets, you'll find that only tickets purchased through orders directly from the box office have any ability to be modified, exchanged, or cancelled - when buying on the secondary market, all sales are final. This is why we advised you to resell those tickets.

    While our Marketplace for individual users is a great tool if your tickets are in an original e-ticket format, individuals are currently not able to use our platform to resell mobile transfer or hardstock tickets. We'd love to be able to help you sell all your tickets, but we're still a relatively young platform when it comes to helping individual users sell their tickets. In instances where we are not able to help you sell with us, it's important to us that you know your options, and we'll be happy to get you to a specific platform that can support your selling needs.

    I recently ordered 4 tickets for adjoining seats to a college football game through 2 orders. One of the packages was damaged in transit with UPS and the contents were lost. SeatGeek immediately refunded the purchase price of the 2 lost tickets. It also bought back the other 2 tickets when I explained that I needed 4 seats together. It provided an overnight shipping label for the return.

    After reading some of the reviews on here, I was afraid I would be stuck with 2 tickets that I could not use at a cost of over $300, but SeatGeek came through with flying colors. I've been refunded in full for both orders, and did not have to pay a dime for shipping expense. Brian was "The Man" and gave me confidence to place another order with the company. When spending close to $1,000 or more for 4 tickets to a game, it's nice to know they have your back.

    My husband purchased tickets for an upcoming NBA game, the very next day (not even 12 hours later) I was reviewing the email and noticed it was showing a date of 12/19 when we are planning our trip for 10/19 this year—when you pull up the NBA schedule, the dates are not shown in chronological order and show 12/19 first... My husband purchased over $1k in tickets. I understand, that was his mistake for not looking at the date, however, we’ve been trying to contact someone who can provide a solution to help exchange the tickets.

    The solution we were provided with was that we’d be refunded the amount AFTER the event date. For a customer who paid over $1000 for tickets, that’s ridiculous. If we would have just purchased outright from Ticketmaster, we would have been able to exchange at no problem! Biggest mistake was using SeatGeek as it was recommended to us, but after this experience, I hope to warn others of the unhelpful and disappointing experience we’ve had with SeatGeek. Don’t waste your time or your money! It’s not worth it.

    Hey Jazzmin,

    Thanks for reaching out! I'd be happy to share some context for your experience here.

    We want to make it easy for people to find the events most relevant to them, so events on SeatGeek will default to display the events nearest to your location first. So if you're traveling in particular, you'll want to confirm that the event you've selected to purchase matches the date and city you want to buy for. Because we are a secondary ticketing market, we generally are not able to offer refunds in instances where tickets are inadvertently purchased for the wrong event - I'm pleased that we were able to make an exception for you in this instance!

    That said, I definitely understand your unhappiness with the delay in getting that refund. It is our policy to hold off on refunding any orders over a certain amount until after the event has passed, simply because we need to be able to confirm that those tickets remain valid. Tickets sold on the secondary market do not have the ability to have their barcodes regenerated in the instance of a returned sale, so this is necessary to guarantee that those tickets will work for the new buyer. While I definitely think an exchange would be a graceful way to address this issue for you, we do not own inventory for this event and do not have the ability to do an exchange as if you had purchased from the original ticketer. In this case, your best bet is to simply pick up some tickets for the intended date, knowing that a refund will be coming your way for the mistaken order later.

    Hopefully that helps to clear up our policies in this area. Please let us know if you have any questions, or need help finding tickets for the 10/19 game!

    Hey Bruce,

    Thanks for reaching out. I understand your disappointment here, and I'd like to offer some clarity around how SeatGeek pricing works.

    SeatGeek is a marketplace connecting buyers and sellers on the secondary ticket market. This means a couple of things:

    1.) SeatGeek does not own the inventory on our site,
    2.) Prices are set solely by the individual seller, and

    3.) Since the tickets are all being listed for resale by individuals with different pricing approaches, the prices may fluctuate and vary based on supply and demand.

    The price you're likely comparing to is the face value of the ticket, which is an arbitrary value set by the box office when initially selling the ticket. The face value doesn't have anything to do with the prices for tickets listed on the secondary market, on SeatGeek or anywhere else! Sellers are free to sell (or not sell) those tickets at any price they choose. The buyer is the ultimate decider on whether the tickets are being offered at a price they think is fair enough to make a purchase at.

    I definitely understand why you'd be upset, but we are unable to force a refund from your seller when this was the price agreed upon at the time of sale. Despite this, I hope you were able to have a great time at the event! Hopefully we've been able to give some context to your experience here, but if you have any questions or concerns that we can help with, please let us know and we'll be happy to discuss this further.

    SeatGeek is participating in deceptive and manipulative practices in hosting their retail marketplace. They intentionally hide "pending purchase" receipts and delay "confirmed receipts" in a process where tickets quickly become unavailable to deceive users into thinking a purchase hasn't occurred. The customers then purchase duplicate tickets, providing more fee revenue for SeatGeek.

    My first purchase was at 9:40 am. I never received a receipt for a pending or completed purchase. SeatGeek does not display pending transactions. Believing it an error, I checked the same section/row and SeatGeek showed the same quantity of tickets available. I purchased that set of tickets at 9:46 am. At 9:55 I received receipt for my 2nd order and wrote a negative review on Google Play suggesting deceptive activity at 9:56. I still have no receipt for the 1st order and have contacted SeatGeek but not been refunded for it. The company profits off of transaction fees charged for purchasing and needs to be held accountable. It's incentivized to manipulate users into executing more transactions than desired.

    Hey Nathan,

    Thanks for sharing your feedback. I definitely feel you here! I'd like to talk a bit about how pricing on SeatGeek and the secondary market in general is determined, to help give some context to your experience.

    When we're talking about the secondary market, we're talking about tickets being resold after their initial purchase from the box office. Prices on the secondary market are almost universally set by the seller. SeatGeek has no control over the prices on our Marketplace - we just provide the venue for buyers and sellers to make their deals.

    In general, we expect deals to be made around the "market value" of the tickets - determined by some combination of what the buyer is willing to pay and the number of sellers competing with each other to give the best price under that amount. Because those factors are always changing, the prices on SeatGeek fluctuate with supply and demand.

    Getting the best deal on the secondary market means knowing the popularity of the event you want to go to and keeping an eye on ticket prices over time. In general, if you're hunting for the best price on tickets, the weeks or days leading up to the event are often going to be the best. That's because those times are the most likely for sellers to drop the price of their listings to try and sell before the event. There's no guarantee, though - if it's a very popular event and there are few tickets on the market, prices can go sky-high instead, or even sell out!

    We hope this helps give a bit of clarity around how prices on SeatGeek work, as well as gives you a bit of a guide for any future purchases you might make on the secondary market. If there's ever anything else we can help with, please don't hesitate to reach out and we'll be happy to assist.

    Hey Seth,

    Thanks for reaching out to us. I feel your disappointment here! It can be really upsetting when events are rescheduled like this, and I want to take a moment to talk about our policies around them and why they are the way they are.

    As you may know, SeatGeek is a secondary ticket market, meaning that most tickets on our site are not coming direct from the box office - they've already been purchased and are being resold. All sales are generally final once the purchase is made, and it's only in specific circumstances such as non-delivery that we can compel a refund from the seller.

    When it comes to postponed events, the general rule of thumb is - if the box office is not refunding, neither can we. This is unfortunately the case for just about every postponed or rescheduled event. In instances like these, we recommend that you simply resell those tickets instead to recoup your cost.

    Hey Lukasz,

    Thank you for reaching out to us and sharing your experience. We never want for someone to wind up with tickets they didn't mean to buy, and we understand your frustration in this situation.

    I just reviewed our records from when you purchased these tickets. It looks like you paused while checking out with tickets for the date that I think you must have intended to buy for, August 31st, when you began attempting to login. It looks like it took you several attempts, at which point you navigated away from checkout. When you had logged in and then attempted to find the tickets you were looking at again, it looks like you were then on a different event for the same performer on August 28th instead, where you placed the order and it went through. While this is frustrating, this does not look like an error with our system.

    The SeatGeek Marketplace is a platform which connects buyers and sellers of the secondary ticket market, we do not have the ability to demand your seller to refund your order in a situation where tickets were purchased by mistake. The good news is, you do still have several days to sell those tickets! This is a popular event and it looks like you are offering them at a good price. If you want to improve your selling chances, you can lower the price a bit further to make sure that you are at the top of the listings, but that may not be necessary given how much time you still have to sell those tickets. So I advise just keeping an eye on your listing, adjusting the price as necessary to keep it near the top of the listings, and waiting for a buyer.

    Hope that helped, but if you have any other questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to let us know.

    Getting cash for selling tickets is incredibly difficult. Customer service is terrible. I sold two tickets to a concert where the headliner canceled. I sent emails prior to the show asking if I needed to do anything, but I was assured that I would still be paid, and it was the ultimate buyer's responsibility to use the tickets for the rescheduled show. I was paid for one ticket, but then when I inquired about payment for the second ticket, I was told that I wouldn't be paid for the other one because the show was changed. I initiated all communication and they never reached out to let me know that I wouldn't be paid (not following their own policy) and every time I called, they told me that they would look into it and they never got back to me.

    Hey Matt,

    Thanks so much for reaching out. We understand that this was a confusing situation, and we'd like to clarify why we could not get you paid for the tickets. This was not because the headliner had changed, but because the venue had changed the event to a free concert and offered refunds for all tickets sold.

    When we had discussed this matter with you when the headliner changed and the event rescheduled, the information about this being converted to a free concert was not available yet, so we advised you that sales for rescheduled events are still valid (which is true!)

    However, when it came out that the event was free, the situation changed. SeatGeek does not generally permit the sale of tickets for free events through our Marketplace, so the buyer was refunded, resulting in you not being able to be paid.

    If you haven't already, you should contact the party you received those tickets from to get refunded for your cost as well.

    We hope this helps clarify the situation. If you still have any questions at all though, please do not hesitate to let us know.

When I called the aforementioned pitiful excuse for an honest company, I was told that they showed where tickets had been purchased twice. One order was for Section 327, Row 2, seats 15 and 16, which is the order we received confirmation and printed our tickets. The second order (which we did not place, nor receive confirmation) was for Section 253, Row 3, Seats 19 and 20.

    Obviously, I would love to know if those seats were used (resold), or sat empty for the game. Of course, SeatGeek can't do anything about this, and insist that we placed two (2) orders.

    Hey Kristi,

    Thanks for reaching out. I understand how frustrating this situation is, and I'd like to go over what we see from our end.

    Looking at your account, we see that two orders were placed - one around 8:01 pm PDT, the other around 8:16 pm PDT. The time elapsing between the two orders eliminates the possibility of a button being double-clicked for an accidental order. Because these two orders are in very different sections as well, each order would have had to have been individually selected - there is no relation between the two orders being placed that would be explained by a system error. We can also see from your account activity that after the first order was placed, your account was actively browsing pages on our site before the second order was placed. Emails were sent to the same email to confirm each purchase.

    Because of all this information, this does not appear to be an error on our end, and we are not able to secure a refund for you from your seller. As you may know, the SeatGeek Marketplace is a platform which connects buyers and sellers of the secondary ticket market. This means that we cannot cancel, exchange, or refund orders after they have been placed so long as your seller fulfills their end in delivering those tickets.

    We do understand that this was a disappointing experience, however. We regret that we were not contacted about this issue until the day after the event, several days after the orders were initially placed, because we have no way to help you recoup the cost of the mistaken order if those tickets are unusable. If contacted in time to resell those tickets, we can help you get them on the market so that you can find a buyer and get your money back.

    We care a lot about making game days special and it's frustrating that there was not an opportunity to help here. If there's ever anything we can do to help in the future, though, we truly hope that you will let us know and we'll happily do all we can.

    I went to the Beyonce concert (8/8/2018) and planned to buy my tickets the night of as I am on a tight, tight budget and wanted to make sure I could really go. I bought them from a different ticket vendor that did not work out to begin with, and being in a rush and having used SeatGeek before I had no hesitation using this site. However, when I had purchased my tickets (two) and went to place them under the scanner, they were invalid and blinking red instead of green when scanned. I called SeatGeek and they sent a pdf of the tickets which still did not work under the scanner. Calling again I was put on and off hold for quite some time and was offered assistance without receiving much actual assistance. I wanted to get into the concert as my main priority but they were unable to help me find different tickets. I was told I would get my money back right away after filling out a long form.

    I was fine with this however with the other ticket company that I had issues with I was given my money back the minute I contacted them with my issue. I have filled out the form and I am still waiting to get my money back and I did not get to attend the concert. I will be deleting this app because although they were willing to help, the help was not great and if this is rarely supposed to happen, I would hope that when this issue does happen it could have be solved much faster than this and exceptions could be made to help me get into the concert.

    The thing about a concert is you spend the whole night getting ready and it takes more money to get to the concert than just the actual ticket so I lost more than the approximate $168 that I still do not have back. The gas money, parking, and other such expenses add up too, which also went to waste. I have never been the type to write a review but, as a broke college student who works hard, saves almost every penny, and splurges wisely (I still bought the cheapest tickets), I was extremely disappointed to have one of the only nights of summer I looked forward to, taken away.

    Hey Ashley,

    Thank you so much for sharing your feedback. This is a situation we never want any user to find themselves in, and we're so sorry that it happened! Sellers providing invalid tickets is a rare but very serious issue on the secondary market, which is why we back all sales with our Buyers Guarantee. While there may be a small wait while we investigate the details with the venue to confirm what happened, a situation like you've described with tickets being invalid WILL get you a refund - often above and beyond what you paid in the first place.

    That said, I was not able to find an order number using your credentials, and I'd like to check in on your refund and make sure that everything is going smoothly. We'll be reaching out to you privately to get more details on your order so we an follow up and make sure that this is handled as smoothly as possible for you, so please keep an eye out for an email from us!

    I purchased tickets as a Christmas gift approximately 12/01/17 for an event 11/10/18; Michigan Wolverines at Rutgers Scarlet Knights at High point Stadium in Piscataway, New Jersey to be exact. After purchase I realized these tickets were extremely overpriced and ask for a refund as the tickets were not even delivered yet. I was told these tickets cannot be refunded and that the tickets would be delivered to me via email on 11/03/18 which is seven days before the event. I was told not to worry because I could sell these tickets on websites like “StubHub” or “Ticketmaster”.

    After about a month of asking how is this possible without the tickets in hand or ticket number to the event a customer service representative told me that “It may be possible to do this, and to ask “StubHub” if it is possible”. It is now 4 months before the event. Seat Geek still states all sales are final and my tickets will be delivered seven days prior to the event. After numerous e-mails they offered me a $20.00 credit but still have yet to answer how can I sell these tickets like they stated 6 months ago or cancel and refund my money. Seat Geek has the worst customer service I've ever experienced and can't give me a straight answer.

    I sell a lot of tix on StubHub but I figured I'd give SeatGeek a shot. The fees are actually higher than StubHub and they don't have the barcode technology, all it does is transmit the ticket via barcode. Which is fine as long as your seller doesn't scan or re-sell the ticket elsewhere. Whatever. It worked okay. I had some sales. The map for the stadium (Washington Nationals) is wrong and they don't even have a section where I sell a lot listed, so that's a problem. But still I listed some tix.

    Anyway one day I'm checking my account for tix listed for the weekend and they're not in there. Somehow they were removed completely. And hidden from my inventory. When I checked "history" they were shown as removed from the SeatGeek marketplace. Why? Nobody emailed me. Nobody told me. They were perfectly valid tickets of games that were taking place soon! I missed out on sales because of this nonsense. You just lost all my business forever. There is no customer service number to fix problems. Which is a huge issue.

    Listed an NFL ticket with the "official" NFL ticket dealer, TicketMaster. I wanted $500. TicketMaster listed the ticket for $556 (a $56 "listing fee") and then, when the ticket sells, adds another $117 in "fees" for a total of $673. In less than an hour SeatGeek had, without my knowledge or permission, listed my ticket on their site for $738 plus $147 in fees for a total of $885. They also said my ticket was "a bad deal". Yes, with all the added fees it would be a bad deal! Since SeatGeek doesn't know me, where would the money go if someone purchased and how would the unfortunate buyer get the ticket? Would SeatGeek pay the TicketMaster the $673 they wanted to charge, keep the extra $212, and get the electronic ticket from TicketMaster? Please check prices across ticket sites to avoid being double charged.

I clicked on them again, they said, "No longer available". So I went to a different site and purchased tickets. AN HOUR LATER they sent me an email pending the sale. I was out of town and no longer monitoring my email since I had made my purchase. Get to the office on Monday and see the email. I sent email to them that morning. No response.

    Stay away from SeatGeek. They engage in dishonest, shady and non-transparent business practices. I purchased for 4 tickets for an NBA game which we were planning to attend for our upcoming trip to Orlando. However, our plans changed and we can no longer go to the game. I contacted SeatGeek within 24 hours of purchase to cancel our tickets and request a refund and at this point there are still 13 days to the game.

    In all fairness, their FAQ section states that refunds may not be possible. What I don't understand is that SeatGeek claims to be the seller when you purchase the tickets but when I contacted their customer service I was told that the ticket was sold by a "Fellow fan that used SeatGeek Marketplace"! They claim to be transparent but why hide who the actual seller is? When you are in a marketplace website such as eBay, Amazon or Etsy, you clearly know who the seller is. However, that is not the case with SeatGeek. Instead, they like to lie about it!!!

    I bought 3 tickets to the 2017 Liberty Bowl and just got back a few hours ago from writing this review. I was very nervous about my purchase from SeatGeek and knew I'd log on and tell about my experience, whether good or bad, because of all the negative reviews online. Buying the tickets went smoothly. I was able to use a promo code from "The Herd," which only took $20 off, and the download was available within minutes after the purchase was processed. When I downloaded the tickets (said they were from Ticketmaster), they had someone else's name on them and said "SEC vs Big 12" instead of "Memphis vs Iowa State" for the team names. My parents were worried about the latter part (Memphis is not an SEC team) while I was worried about the former.

    This caused me to go online and do research on whether or not we'd be able to get in with someone else's name on the tickets. Then I started reading SeatGeek reviews, and I found reviews here and elsewhere that freaked me out. I've previously bought tickets from StubHub (and my name was on those tickets, I believe), but I'd heard Colin Cowherd advertising SeatGeek on his show, which made me trust it enough to at least compare ticket prices with StubHub, and SeatGeek was cheaper.

    Long story short, our tickets worked at the gate, but I've read enough negative stories about SeatGeek that I'm kind of scared to try them again. Luckily for me, we live in Memphis, but I'm a Michigan fan/alum and that means most of the time I go away to games. I don't want to spend $1000+ to go to Michigan/a Michigan game and end up turned away at the gate. Just to compare, I read StubHub's reviews here, too, and ending up with invalid or canceled tickets seems to happen more with SeatGeek. In the future, I will probably just go ahead and pay extra with some other seller. But this experience worked out, so I'm not sure what percentage of SeatGeek purchases go awry but it's not all of them.

Our electronic tickets were sold multiple times by their merchant and SeatGeek did not find us replacement tickets and just said, "Sorry, go back home".

    We are heartbroken that we traveled so far and got turned away like second class citizens. Other merchants had ticket reps at the venue but there was no one in site for SeatGeek to help us. If you work hard for your money, like my family, do your business somewhere else that appreciates and respects your hard earned money or your hearts may be left broken too. We don't get to go to many events so this was to be a lifetime memory. A mere refund does nothing for the hours of travel and hundreds we spent for a heartbroken trip.

The company selling the tickets, (Fan Exchange through SeatGeek), never informed me that the concert was already cancelled when I purchased the tickets. Although, in SeatGeek bylaws and conditions it states that it won’t sell tickets of concerts that have been cancelled or postponed.

    I called SeatGeek and they stated that they didn’t sell the tickets and to contact Fan Exchange as that was the seller of the tickets even though I went through the SeatGeek website to purchase the tickets. Went to the venue to find out that the concert had been postponed to a later date. After some research found out that the concert had been cancelled before I even bought the tickets. Contacted both SeatGeek and Fan Exchange to get a refund. SeatGeek said to contact Fan Exchange. Fan Exchange said that they wouldn’t give a refund and we should have known that the concert was cancelled because they sent out an email on the 4th of Oct. They were still selling tickets for upcoming concerts that were cancelled to date.

    SeatGeek is a marketplace not a vendor. They don't actually have tangible tickets. They are just a third party to reach out to the seller to let them know they found a buyer. I luckily ordered a few weeks before my event and had a backup plan in place after reading reviews. I never received my tickets but I was able to get a 100% refund plus an extra 20% refund through the mail. SeatGeek acts as a third party who reaches out to sellers when buyers are interested in tickets. I definitely would not recommend if you need tickets right away and always have a backup plan. The reason I gave a 4 is because I spoke to 4 different people the day before my event and I had 3 people tell me I would not get a refund on my money but get better tickets. Then the 4th person I talked to assured me I could get a refund or better tickets whichever I preferred.

    I read many negative reviews of SeatGeek.com prior to making my purchase so was prepared for anything. However, my experience was smooth and I ended up with a great deal on a sold out Broadway show. Seats were amazing. Purchased less than 24 hours before the show and I only paid a little more than double the face value (which for this show is a huge bargain). Since it was a last minute trip into the city, I was prepared to make other plans if these fell through. I found the tickets (actual seller was fanxchange – keep in mind that SeatGeek is an aggregator – so that site maybe gets some of the credit) on a Sat night and placed the order at 10:25 pm that night. As of 10:00 am the following morning, and despite the fact that these were eTickets, my order had not been confirmed nor had I received my tickets.

    I filled out the SeatGeek survey (generally recommend waiting to do that until you actually have your tix in hand) saying I was unsatisfied and also emailed fanxchange (from whom I'd also received "we got your order" email the night before). Within 30 minutes (Sunday morning by 10:30-ish) I had my confirmation and the PDF of the tickets. I was still a little worried that upon reaching the theater they wouldn't scan (I've read all the stories). However, they did, the seats were GREAT and the show was amazing. I do think the tickets could have been provided right away (instead of my having to follow up and threatening to cancel my order), but I give them a little forgiveness since it was a Saturday night / Sunday morning and neither company probably has staff overnight on the weekend.

    Bottom line, I would use them again and recommend them, but most likely only if eTicketing is available, if the deal was good (some of the deal ratings do not seem to align with the value but this one did), and if it was an event that is a "nice to have" experience vs. a lifetime dream. I don't know that I would put all my eggs in this basket if these tickets were a gift or something really important to me, but for a last minute opportunity to see a sold out show it worked great for me. Very satisfied, but like all things do your homework and be prepared if things don't turn out the way you'd planned. SeatGeek does not have control over the sellers (or even the resellers like fanxchange) and things CAN go wrong. In my case I got exactly what I wanted for a great price.

    I had read reviews on SeatGeek and thought I understood what could go wrong and avoided that. However, I got caught, too! We are headed cross-country for a big birthday celebration and wanted tickets to a Tony-winning show. The Ticketmaster service fees were almost the price of the tickets, so I looked for alternatives and read up on SeatGeek.

    I bought two tickets, had a reasonable service charge assessed ($25 for two tickets instead of more than $150 for two via Ticketmaster). I got a screen response with a confirmation code, kept that window open and began watching my email for the ticket confirmation to arrive. After more than an hour, I decided to take a screenshot of what had popped up on the SeatGeek site, saved the file and went to bed.

    I checked and my credit card has a pending charge for the related amount. Still no email. We're now more than 12 hours later. I've been asked by SeatGeek to review them and did. They sent a follow up, asking why the low review. I wrote back and explained. No reply. I finally emailed them and asked about why I was charged for tickets, got a confirmation number for tickets, but still had no email with info about the tickets. At that point, I learned that they are only a broker and don't actually have the tickets. So, they referred me to their vendor -- Telecharge. So, I had to phone Telecharge, give them my confirmation number, address, phone number, email, etc. And, now they say they'll send me the email confirmation in another 3 hours.

    If I order from Amazon and they subrogate my order, they (Amazon) makes it right. I don't have to track down another vendor. I told this to SeatGeek and they said they would try to move that direction and would share my insights. Bull! They have been in business for 8 or more years and still don't have this figured out? I'm hoping my email confirmation arrives. And, I am hoping it's not all a scam. But, don't expect SeatGeek to honor their commitment to you. And, don't expect that their vendors will be timely, either. Not a fan!

    My wife of 1 week purchased tickets to a Cleveland Indians game may 29th. On that morning in her inbox was a verification of the tickets. After an hour and a half drive and a hour waiting to get in the gate we were informed our tickets were canceled, a freaking waste of a day thank you!!! She is now fighting with this company to get a refund. Never use this business. What a joke.

    We bought two tix to Pittsburgh vs. Ottawa in Ottawa for May 19th. The entire process showed this as the date and had the time correct. When the tickets were downloaded it was actually for May 1st. We didn't realize this until we entered the stadium. We had purchased flights and hotels for our weekend in Ottawa. SeatGeek refunded the tix and are sending out a 20% ($72) inconvenience cheque, but we're out over $1000 from the transaction since we had to fly to the game. It was so disappointing. Check your ticket download before you make any further arrangements. SeatGeek, don't sell the wrong tickets!!! We will never use them again.

    Thank you for your horrible customer service! I will never attempt to purchase tickets again through your company. On Monday, March 27th 2017 I purchased tickets for a hockey game in St. Louis. Based on the mapping on your website it showed the tickets I thought I was buying as in the "CLUB" section of 113. It did not list the seat numbers and therefore based on the depiction of your "Dot" looked as if they would be in the all inclusive area. They were not and for a few dollars more I could have purchased the tickets I wanted in the correct section.

    I spoke with support and was given a runaround response. He first told me he could not transfer me to someone that would have better answers than him because the phones do not allow it. I find it hard to believe in 2017 your phone system prevents from placing someone on hold and transferred. Then I was told to send in an email and the response would be given timely. I never received a response. The man I spoke to on the phone said he would call back within the hour as well for answers. Never received that call. I will continue to write horrible reviews about your company thanks to this experience.

    I purchased four tickets on this website for the first time and what a mistake it was. This company is absolutely despicable and an absolute incompetent company, after one month of going back and forth with them they cannot give me a straight answer regarding their vendor. I later came to find out the reason being they can't give me a straight answer is because their vendor has been ignoring them for a month. What a weak and despicable company that allows a vendor take more than that matter yet still sell on their site. Don't waste your time with this company. Take your business somewhere else.

    Next to buying the tix directly this is a solid option. Multiple options make me feel safe for transactions especially knowing if it goes sideways I have multiple avenues to get my funds back just in case. It's good to know you can cancel if something comes up. I've been in situations where a major event comes up and I can't go to schedule event. Refund options are of utmost importance.

Payment options are always convenient. They pretty much accept any form of payment that is convenient for most buyers. It's a great database and very convenient.

    They had so many different types of tickets. It is truly incredible but made choosing rather hard. However I got the best price on mine and was happy to receive and use it. I loved the diverse set of payment methods they offer. It truly made my day since most places only offer one or two rather mundane methods but it was a nice surprising change. Their cancellation policy comes in handy if your financial situation is suddenly altered as mine was and they were exceptional at canceling and were very understanding and kind to me. I never personally had to use their refund policy but judging by their other offerings and my own experiences with them I feel like their refunding is probably exceptional.

    This site has the best prices and always has what I am searching for and if they don't I can request it. Also they are very helpful. Any time I have questions or concerns I call the customer support line and they answer all my questions and take care of my every need. You can pay anyway you want or choose. They have even talked about getting a check option but I have not followed up on that subject to whether they did or not. Payments are instant and very legit. Their cancellation policy is understandable and legit. Once you cancel your money is redirected on your card almost instantly. You do have to pay a small fee for canceling though. Their refund options are very broad and down to earth. This company is very understandable. It does not take long to get your refund. You just go through an automated questionnaire then speak to a live representative as to why you want to have a refund.

    I used SeatGeek to find tickets for an NFL football game. I bought 3 tickets for a scheduled Thursday night game at a cost of $174 of which about $26 were fees. SeatGeek doesn't provide tickets, it locates a third party ticket seller. The tickets actually came through UberSeat which is equally, if not more, guilty than SeatGeek. Tickets were purchased on Sunday for the game on the following Thursday. On Monday the NFL changed the game to Wednesday due to a tropical depression that was threatening game night in Tampa Bay, Florida. My 2 friends and I would not be in town on Wednesday and the tickets are of no use to us. Starting Monday night I tried to get a refund and have learned that neither SeatGeek or UberSeat will refund any transaction due to a change in event schedules. How does that seem right? I bought tickets for Thursday not Wednesday.

    While neither ticket seller has control over the change in schedule they certainly ought to be able to make refunds on tickets not yet expired. So the NFL gets about 148 of my dollars, and SeatGeek and Uberseat share in some 26 more of my dollars and I am left with nothing and no recourse. I would be more forgiving if the date had not changed and my circumstances didn't allow me to attend on the original date. But to sell tickets to an event and then pull the carpet out from under me by changing the date is certainly unfair.

    Don't let the term guarantee fool you. They guarantee to send you a ticket but there is no refund or return policy for any transaction. Changing the date of an event is no different than cancelling the show if the new date is not viable for you. There should be a refund for dates cancelled or changed. The contract between me and the ticket vendors was for a specific date/time/place. If that changes then the vendor has broken the contract because the tickets are essentially for an event that didn't take place on that date and time. What is the point of these ticket sellers if they just charge fees and don't provide any assurances. Buy direct from the box office.

    Bought tickets for a game, got them cheaper than other sites I looked at, very happy with purchase. Would come back again and buy tickets from this site in the future. I paid with credit card but there were other options, PayPal and debit as well gift card access. There were plenty of ways to pay. Cancel within 30 days and you get your money back. You can get a full refund with whoever you purchased the tickets so for me it would've went back on my credit card.

    It was easy to obtain tickets through this vendor. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to buy tickets to an event. It is very easy to use. The payment options basically sell themselves. The cancellation policy was almost easier to use than it was to purchase the tickets. Although we did not have to use this certain policy it certainly is good to know about and to have on hand. The refund options are probably in my opinion better than everything else related to the other packaging. It is so easy to obtain a refund.
