I do not wish to enroll in any services other than these tickets. I did not receive a receipt. I should have received the tickets by email as soon as I purchased them. I did not see the seat numbers until I received the tickets just the row. Your prices are too high. I could have purchased them directly through the theater for less even with a service fee.

Great deals!!!! Easy. Love the app. Ability to follow your favorite artists. Change location if you travel and find shows wherever you are. And the only place I know that gives you rewards for purchases. Free tickets?!?🎫. Yes please! I highly recommend Vivid.

Was able to receive my tickets before 2 days before the event. Was notified via email it was ready in app. When I went to the app, it was confirmed and I was able to view my tickets quite easily. Smooth transaction. Would look to reuse the site to purchase tickets for events in the future.

Vivid Seats had the best price and seating available! These tickets were sold out on the main site and everywhere else was way overpriced! Purchasing with Vivid Seats was easy and tickets were delivered as promised and before the deadline! I would highly recommend!

It was a good experience overall although the ticket came with the message when delivered that read Limited View after I purchased it. If it said that beforehand, I missed it. Also, an extra $104+ in fees is excessive. I would use the site again though.

Having to wait for tickets to be sent wasn't something that I want to experience going forward 😕. I was checking back on several occasions for the tickets. The actual price of each ticket was reasonable, but all the extra fees, I feel was unacceptable. I think one fee plus taxes is reasonable.

We were on our way to the concert when Vivid Seats called us to tell us the tickets we bought had been sold on a different website and let us know the seats were obstructed view, which we did not know 'cause it wasn’t listed on the information for the tickets. The lady that told us on the phone helped us find some seats that weren’t obstructed view and made sure we’d get to the concert. We had so much fun and our seats were amazing! I’ll definitely be using Vivid Seats more often.

I had a very positive experience. From start to finish, everything was handled with honesty and professionalism. Communication was clear, and I felt supported through the process.

Vivid Seats had the best last-minute tickets for the Broadway show I was looking for at prices 30-50% off the official website. Plus, the first timer discount made it even better. I was a bit skeptical at first, this being a resale website, is it even legitimate? But after googling and reading the buyer's guarantee, I felt secure in my decision. After purchasing, within 5-10 minutes, I received the ticket electronically. That same night, I enjoyed the show in a great seat! So worth it! Would use Vivid Seats again, except maybe not so last-minute.

I was excited to see I had scored tickets for Randy Travis. It's been hours and still no tickets have been delivered. Maybe this was a scam site, I don't know just afraid to order tickets again from this company. I have received no help trying to get information regarding the tickets. I should never have bought them, knowing they would only be delivered via their site. Just EMAIL me the tickets, since your way and/or instructions are not working!

The tickets listed were row 21. After I paid for them the tickets I received were row 20. Might not seem like much, but at Hard Rock Stadium that is on the border of being covered vs not being covered. That 1 row does make a difference. Plus, you still have the issue of I didn't get the tickets that were advertised and I paid for.

I got my order cancelled five times through the website. I tried all of my credit cards, PayPal, anything I could, and nothing worked. So, I almost lost all hope of going to the event.

It looks like I'm going to the event after all! The website errs on the side of caution too much and cancels legitimate transactions, but calling sales more than makes up for it.

Horrible experience trying to sell a ticket the day before an event - I transferred the ticket to Vivid Seats (per their instructions), but they did not activate my listing until almost 24 hours later, after the event was over. The morning of the event, I emailed them asking them to either activate my listing ASAP or return my ticket. They did not respond. I will never use this company again.
Hey Brendan, we totally get why you'd be a bit frustrated by this process. We expanded our fan selling program this year to try to make it easier to list tickets, and we're always looking for ways to improve our processes and make things a bit smoother for you. We really appreciate your feedback here. Generally there is about a 24-48hr delay with listings going live, so we recommend listing earlier than the day before a show whenever you can. We know last-minute changes of plans do happen, so we'll get to work on figuring out some solutions to improve this for everybody. In the future, we recommend reaching out to our specialized team over social media DM if you're not seeing any updates and you have a last minute listing so we can check on it for you!

Hi Elena, we can see why all these concerns about delivery have added up to a lot of frustration for you. We tried to call to speak with you about your order, and were unable to contact you. At some point shortly after this, you disputed the charge with your bank, and they upheld the transaction as valid. When you dispute a valid purchase, we reserve the right to resell your tickets on your behalf to recover any potential losses from the chargeback, as stated in our sales terms & conditions. You have been refunded for the amount that these tickets were resold for, as though you had relisted these yourself. While we understand that you were unhappy with this resolution, we hope that the information we've provided regarding our policies and procedures has helped to clarify the situation further for you. In the future, if you ever have an event rescheduled unexpectedly and you cannot make the new date, you will almost always have the option to resell your tickets on our platform whether they are delivered to you yet or not. We recommend reading through our Fan Seller page on our website for more information on how to relist tickets.

Hi Michael, we're disappointed to learn that you found your experience trying to access and sell your tickets to be frustrating. The tickets you received had a release delay, meaning the bar codes would not be visible until closer to the concert.

I’ve used Vivid Seats quite a bit. I’ve gotten quite a few tickets through them. It's horrible that they add a markup to the price of the tickets because the hidden service fees make it quite expensive. When you could get them from their own store versus what you get for the secondary market, it’s outrageous. But it's almost the only way you can get them anymore, though their website was fine and easy to navigate.

We missed one whole day of our festival because the tickets we paid to have sent over night arrived 5 days later. They did not compensate us for the over night shipment or for missing the 1st day nor did they even apologize. Instead, the manager said I was lying about when the festival started. How can I lie, the schedule was on the website. We also had to wait in the parking lot and could not even bring our camper in for the 1st day because our tickets were not delivered. Buyer BEWARE! Did I forget to mention that 2 of these 4 tickets were for 2 disabled adults who look forward to this festival every year!
Hi Mindy, The festival you refer to was the 2025 Hoofbeat festival that took place this past June. While next year is scheduled to take place over 4 days, this past June saw the festival take place over 6/26-6/28, per their official website. The tickets you ordered were shipped using UPS Overnight delivery, and were sent out on June 23rd. They arrived on June 24th, but you weren't available at the time of delivery. UPS was able to get your signature the following day, and the tickets arrived safe-and-sound the day before the festival was set to begin. We've also reviewed the previous calls and conversations you had with our agents, and can assure you that our information about the festival schedule was accurate at the time you contacted us about the delivery of your passes. Parking and Camping access are separate passes/add-ons and were not included with your purchase, and early camping is its own separate pass. We understand that you were hoping your tickets would arrive earlier than they did, and that this process caused you some distress. Tickets can only be shipped once the seller who listed them has them in their possession to send out. We were also thankfully able to update your address on the shipping label before they had dropped them off to help ensure they went to the right place. If they had shipped them earlier, UPS may have missed you or otherwise not been able to get them into your hands before the festival started! We hope that you and your fellow guests were still able to enjoy the full festival and had a wonderful time. Thank you for choosing Vivid Seats for your purchase.

I will never use Vivid Seats again. I received the tickets ONE day before the show. However, they were in a different section. Ticket prices in that section were HALF what I paid 9 months ago. Vivid Seats refused to give me the tickets I paid for. They also refused to give me a discount for the cheaper seats. The customer service rep refused to forward me to a supervisor. Don't buy from Vivid Seats. Bait and Switch.
Hi there, our team reviewed your order and we can confirm it was fulfilled correctly. We also appreciate the opportunity to clear up any confusion about how our ticket marketplace works. Vivid Seats facilitates sales between buyers and sellers, with sellers setting their own prices based on factors like seat location, amenities, and demand. Since it is a live market, prices can change over time as tickets are listed and sold, which may explain why the pricing looks different compared to when you purchased 9 months ago.

Their Buyer's Guarantee/100% Customer Satisfaction is false advertising to deceive. I just had the most insane experience that consumed 2.5 days of my life, missed the show & lost my $. Feb 2025 I paid for tickets to a show on July 30th. On July 28th I got a call from Vivid Seats telling me that these tickets are no longer available due to a "venue change" & they changed my tickets to horrible seats. They lied & I have it recorded. My original seats were available & canceled day of the show. I tried endlessly to find a resolution or get my original seats back. They wouldn't budge. They put me on hold me - sometimes up to 20 minutes. They gas-lighted me, twisted the truth, transferred their guilt onto me & scapegoated their accountability onto the venue - they refused to try to fix anything that they caused.
For 3 days I spent hours on the phone with their customer service department. I sent full detailed messages through their app. I asked them why they lied to me and they wouldn't answer the question. They put a spin on everything and caused me so much emotional distress. They wouldn't give me my original tickets because that meant taking responsibility and accountability. They would find a resolution to something they did to me. They cost me the show. Wouldn't give me my original tickets back and wouldn't find a resolution by giving me equal tickets to that show in the auditorium for that day or another day that the show was playing that week.
I bought those tickets as a gift to my husband for his birthday and they ruined everything and caused me so much unnecessary stress, frustration and confusion. They just wasted my time & bold face lied to me. I have never in my life, experienced something like this & I hope I never will again. So I'm telling others to beware of Vivid Seat they are not who they pretend to be & they have no problem lying. I'm not the first to complain about such treatment by them. I will report them to the better business bureau, to my bank for fraud and get my money back & to Klarna - another company involved in the payment of these tickets to vivid seats. My bank will investigate them.
I buy tickets to shows, comedy, concerts, festivals, theatre & up to 10-25 or more a year. This is how they treat a great long-term customer. They obviously don't care about losing my business because they are still fooling everyone else with their lies, deception, false buyers guarantee and false security of 100% Customer Satisfaction. For now, after 3 years of buying tickets from Vivid Seats sellers, I will be permanently closing my account and do what I can to share my experience with others in hopes that my experience shared could keep another person from experiencing this.
To Recap: because of this experience my opinion of Vivid seats has severely changed. Everything I shared and stated in this review is 100% accurate with substantial evidence to support this review. I find Vivid Seats Customer Service, business acumen, and market to lack integrity, embrace dishonesty & advertise falsely to the public and the customers they lure in to do business with them. The company is a charlatan & I hope they are brought to justice one day by having to fave the consequences of their lying, gimmicks and games. Be very cautious if you decide to use them. Fool me once shame on them. Fool me twice shame on me. (I will never give them a chance to do this to me again.) VIVID SEATS = 👎🏻😡😓😳😠. ☆ I have to get off this page to find my electronic receipt & I will lose this review if I do - it won't save - but I will upload it later if I can come back to edit this review after I post it.
Hi Andrea, Thank you for taking the time to write your review and give a detailed account of how this experience made you feel. It is always our goal to ensure you have a smooth ticket experience and get to enjoy the show you were looking forward to. Initially, the tickets you had ordered back in March of this year were transferred to you on the same day. However, it does not appear that you accepted the transfer on your end. We can confirm that the original tickets you ordered in BalcD2 Row 1 became unavailable. According to the seller you purchased these from, the venue revoked their original tickets and provided them replacements in TierB2, Row 6. When they did this, they cancelled any outgoing transfer of those tickets, which is why you received a cancellation email on the evening of July 28th. The seller notified us immediately, and we tried to reach out to you to discuss replacements with you. You were not open to the replacement seats the seller received from the venue, so we discussed other options. According to our records, you accepted the replacements we offered in TierC1 Row 2, so we informed the new seller and had those transferred over to you ASAP. From our perspective, you received new tickets to attend in a slightly closer tier, and should have been able to attend. It seems like perhaps some miscommunication occurred between us and yourself about where the tickets were going to be, or if they were delivered, since you mentioned and sent screenshots of the cancellation of the original tickets around that time. We've tried to reach out to you by phone since to discuss this further and get a better idea of how this played out from your perspective so we can understand why you ended up not attending the show. We're still open to discussing the matter further, as it feels like there is still opportunity to work together to come to a more positive resolution, and we encourage you to contact our specialized team by sending us a DM over social media at your convenience.

I purchased premium priced tickets. The Vivid website showed the tickets on a seat map being in the front section, and the ticket description said they were in Row 1. The tickets themselves has Row 1 in the section area. Upon arrival, I was told there were only General Admission tickets with no assigned areas or rows. Vivid Customer Service later told me that Row 1 only refers to an inventory number, and not a seating row, and refused to give me a partial refund.
Hi there, we completely understand where you are coming from and hope we can help clear up any confusion. Our team reviewed your order and confirmed that your tickets were accurately labeled as GA and Standing Room Only with no additional perks or amenities included. General Admission events do not have assigned seating and are typically standing room only. When sellers list tickets with us, they are required to include row and seat numbers, and for GA tickets this can sometimes be a default such as Row 1. These rows are not indicative of where you will stand or sit, as location in a GA venue is usually first come first serve based on arrival time. We hope you still had a great time at the concert even if you were expecting something different with your tickets.

After purchasing the ticket and downloading the app., I was unable to log into the account on the app or change the password even though somehow was able to access my account on desktop. Customer service sent a pdf of the ticket since I was driving on a rural hwy with no printer access and don't own a printer. I was told by CS that the venue is only accessible with a printed ticket and I would not be able to enter the venue without it and would not be eligible for a refund since the ticket had been delivered. In addition the ticket is in the name of Audrey ** purchased in Feb 2025, which I was told is standard practice for tics purchased through a marketplace. This is beyond ridiculous and I am heartbroken that I had to miss the event. I will be contacting my bank regarding the refund and will never use your crappy app again and would not recommend it to anyone since it does not work properly.
Hi there, we are sorry to hear about your experience. After reviewing your order, we can confirm that your ticket was delivered immediately after purchase as a printable PDF to your registered email. For this particular event, the venue required tickets to be printed for entry.
We also appreciate the opportunity to clear up the confusion about seeing someone else’s name on the ticket. Tickets purchased through a marketplace like Vivid Seats are transferable, so it is common for the original buyer’s name to appear. This does not affect your ability to enter the event, no ID is required, and you are fully guaranteed access.

Hi Ross, thank you for your review. We'd like to clarify how our platform operates. As a ticket marketplace, we connect sellers and buyers who set their own prices or purchase tickets through our site. We serve as an intermediary to ensure that sellers receive their payment and buyers receive their tickets for the event. Please note that we have an all sales are final policy, which means we cannot cancel or modify orders once they are placed, unless the event is confirmed cancelled. If you no longer wish to use the tickets, you're welcome to list them for resale on our platform to recover your costs.

I spent over an hour researching ticket options online to find seats close to my friend group. I specifically purchased row P on this website. $230 later I receive tickets for row N. It took 2 days and a virtual agent telling me to 'wait 5 minutes to call and someone will answer’ after complaining there was no one to answer the phone. The first virtual agent I spoke to..despite telling him how upset I was at the change..disconnected my conversation and sent me a ‘congratulatory seat upgrade’ email regarding my move to row N? When I FINALLY got ahold of someone via phone, they told me oh well and I can try to resell my tickets and try again. Nowhere did it clearly state what I was purchasing could be completely different than what I receive and I am beyond upset with the lack of customer service for this ‘company’. I’ll never use this website again and strongly advise against it.
Hi Sarah, thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand how receiving tickets with a different row than expected can be disappointing. When sellers no longer have the original tickets they listed, they may offer similar or upgraded options to ensure the buyer still receives valid tickets for the event. In your case, since the row you initially purchased was no longer available, the seller provided tickets in a row closer to the stage, which is often considered an upgrade. Please feel free to reach out to customer service if you have any questions about seating options.

We understand your frustration and appreciate you sharing your experience, Andrew. After reviewing your case, we see that you contacted our customer service team several days after the event had already passed, and we did not receive any communication from you regarding issues with your tickets prior to the event. We always recommend reaching out in advance, ideally several days before the event, to ensure your tickets are available and ready for entry, helping to prevent any issues on the day of the event. If you have any further questions or need assistance in the future, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Thank you for sharing your feedback, Neil. After reviewing your order, we see that it was placed right when the event had already started. According to our policy, once an order is placed when an event has begun, the seller has up to 20 minutes to fulfill and deliver the tickets, which in this case they did within the designated time frame. We always recommend purchasing tickets well in advance of the event start time to give sellers ample opportunity to deliver tickets promptly and to help ensure a smooth entry experience.

I’m seeing awful reviews for what I consider to be a useful option for securing tickets to events. I’ve used Vivid Seats 4 times now… and have a 5th concert coming up in a couple weeks also through vivid seats for which I’ve already received my ticket. I’ve never had an issue at any event with tickets I bought from vivid seats, and while the fees can be high sometimes, I simply just shop elsewhere if that’s the case. To me, this service doesn’t deserved to be docked for that since seemingly every ticketing app employs some kinda hidden fee thing. Check your seats online for obstructions before buying them and only buy from sellers with check marks. If everyone did that there would be a lot less one star reviews.

Updated on 08/05/2025: This was a really disappointing experience. This was the first time I used Vivid Seats. I clearly will not use this pitiful platform again. Basically it gave a bunch of template corporate, string-along apologies and claims of escalation/supervisor reviews since I made the first complaint from the moment I reached my obstructed view seat and contacted you via chat. It seems evident it had no intention of doing an "investigation", or remedying the situation. I wonder what happened to the company standing behind its product?
I've bought tickets for numerous events in the past from other vendors. This experience with Vivid Seats is the absolute worst and that is saying something. Their marketing slogan promises an unforgettable experience. Well, it delivers. This has been an unforgettable and regrettable ticket and customer service experience. This is a bad and sad way to do business unVivid Seats.
Updated on 07/26/2025: This is a terribly operating absentee business. It sold me some obstructed view seats for a 2 day event. The chat customer service just gave corporate runaround answers, and went silent when I repeatedly asked how to get a copy of the chat transcripts. I have chatted with them for over a hour now, with 3-4 different reps. Then it was sent to a higher level evaluation/investigation. This clearly is more jargon to avoid responsibility for misrepresenting the tickets. This was a huge concert in Cincinnati, and now I am chasing these people for a refund. Never, ever again will I deal with this group. I actually canceled a conference to attend this with my wife. Just a bad time.
Original review: Worst experience ever at an event. It sold me horrible angled, and obstructed view tickets for 2 nights event. Resolution was, "Sorry, we didn't know." Wife and I hated it. Customer chat line is the poorest excuse for customer service I have seen ever. Wow, never again.
Hi John, we appreciate your feedback and we empathize with your disappointment in the quality of the view from your section. We received your photo and also received official correspondence from the venue confirming that they do not consider Section 128 to be an obstructed view for the festival. We know that your personal experience is subjective despite the venue's official stance, and that you were not happy with the angle and distance from the stage, but we could not corroborate your claim of an obstructed view with the information we were provided.

Hi Kerry, convenience is king these days! While we would love to be able to offer every ticket in-app or as a download through email, the way you access them depends entirely on how the venue issues your tickets. Some venues exclusively use other apps or services for their ticket transfers, meaning that's how they have to be delivered. Many venues are moving towards digital wallet tickets as they provide an extra layer of security and protection for your tickets to prevent theft or fraud. The good news is that now that you've done this process once, the next time you attend an event with the same type of ticket, it should be much quicker and easier to get through to the point where you can scan your tickets!

Hey Adison, we operate a live marketplace - that means anyone could buy any of the tickets at any time. If someone bought those tickets just before you did, or if the seller adjusted their listing or took the listing down, that would explain why you missed out.

Hi Sean, we completely understand your disappointment with being left without tickets here. It is always a risk, although small, that when you buy tickets through a marketplace that the seller may not be able to fulfill the order. We work hard to remind sellers to send your tickets in a timely manner, and will even look for commensurate replacements for you if we can as we never want you to miss out on your event.

I bought tickets for my daughter's first MLB game. We are fans of the opposing team, so this is a once a year chance she will get, if that, to see her favorite team. There was a group of 8ish tickets together. I talked to a very kind gentleman who I shared I'd like the tickets in the bunch farthest to the left closest to the dugout, he assured me he got them for me. I asked multiple times and he told me he did. Once we hung up, about 15 minutes later I received the tickets only to have them be the furthest to the right. I called back and explained I was clear before I made the purchase of what I needed and was told I was given that. Could we possibly message the seller and ask for seats to be switched?
The person said they would look into it and get back to me in a couple days. A week later, nothing, I reached out again only to be told no absolutely not, we cannot do anything, all sales final. It would be one thing if that was told to me from square one, but I was sent on a wild goose chase and told I would get the tickets I wanted (and paid good money for!) and that I may be able to switch them. I was so upset. Then the Customer Service Rep said... it's in the same row, umm yes, but 5 seats down, also not the point anymore! Very disappointed and not the way to run a business!
Hi Katelyn, we understand you were disappointed with the location of your seats here and that you wanted to give your daughter a special experience by being seated closer to the Visitor's dugout. When you order tickets for an event from us, we can provide you the section and row, but typically we do not have the seat numbers on hand and cannot guarantee specific seats. This is because the seller may have a group of 8 tickets, and you'll receive a pair of adjacent seats. They can move you around within the group of 8 to ensure that everyone who bought tickets from them is seated together. Still, if a sales agent makes a promise we can't keep, we absolutely want to double check and hold ourselves accountable!
We reviewed the call in question and can confirm that the agent explained that we can't guarantee specific seat numbers, only the section and row. We're not sure where the misunderstanding about where your seats would be located came from, but we were at least able to verify that the agent did not promise any specific area in the row. We hope that you and your daughter still enjoyed your time at the game, and we recommend next time the team is in town to play that you try to snag tickets in the sections directly behind the dugout so you can get her even closer to her faves!

Never, ever buy from them. They have 0 customer service and scam you. They make it impossible to contact you and their poorly trained representatives read from a script and are utterly useful. I lost money. Never, ever buy from them. I will be pursuing further action.

We bought 6 tickets thru VIVID and one of our party couldn't make it so we tried to sell one ticket. Vivid makes it very difficult to sell a ticket, had to create a PDF copy and upload it to the site, etc. We won't be using Vivid again, they charge excessively high fees on top of the ticket price too.
Hey Arthur, we get why you would find that frustrating! We've actually recently updated our fan selling program to make it easier to sell digital tickets, especially electronic transfer tickets. We also have a dedicated team available to help answer any of your questions. We would have been happy to help you out with your listing if you had contacted us to make things smooth and easy for you. If you decide to give us another chance in the future and need to resell a ticket, please don't hesitate to reach out for help.

I purchased a ticket through Vivid Seats to see Gary Owen at the Palms in Las Vegas. The digital download of the ticket did not work. I phoned Vivid Seats before leaving my home for the event. According to Vivid Seats’ pre-recorded message, “Please note our phone team heavily prioritizes customers whose events are today or tomorrow…” After 35 minutes on hold, I linked my phone to the car, hoping someone would respond before I arrived at the venue. Upon arriving at the Palms, 30 minutes later, I was still on hold. A Line Security staff member directed me to the box office. The line was incredibly long, as I was not the only one with a ticketing problem, so I remained on hold, hopeful that a Vivid Seats representative would respond before I reached the counter—unfortunately, no such luck.
Twenty-five minutes later, the box office staff provided me with a paper ticket for entry. I had inadvertently put my phone, while still on hold, in my purse. At the end of the show, I noticed that I was still on hold more than four hours later. So, why is Vivid Seats charging $22.78 for service that they don't provide? And $2.50 Flash Seats fee, by no means did I get to my seat in a flash. My experience illustrates how Vivid Seats “heavily prioritizes customers whose events are today.” This level of poor customer service is inexcusable.
Hi Patrice, we are grateful for you taking the time to describe your experience with us and what happened when you attempted to locate and use your tickets. The tickets you ordered were issued by AXS, which is also called Flash Seats. This only refers to the delivery method, and is not a promise of instantaneous delivery or quick entry to an event. These tickets cannot be downloaded, and must instead be accessed via the AXS app as these tickets are "rotating QR codes," meaning they change or update every 60 seconds and screenshots are not valid for entry. This uses AXS' proprietary technology, which is why they have to be delivered through their app and not ours, and are not made available to download directly to your phone. In some limited cases they may offer the option to add your tickets to your Apple or Google Wallet, but this depends on the venue.
We apologize for the long wait time on the phone, and we are doing our best to get to every customer that we can. This is our busiest time of year with numerous festivals, NFL Preseason, end of the MLB season, and the start of college sports season all happening at once. This means there are many thousands of fans who have events taking place on the same day as you. We absolutely prioritize same-day events as best we can.
Thankfully, with AXS tickets, you are able to go to the box office and provide your full name and email address that you used for your ticket order and AXS account, and they will be able to pull up your ticket in their system and print you of a paper stub for entry. This is a great backup system for any time you may have technical issues or connection isn't great and the ticket isn't loading properly on the AXS app. It's also a great option if you happen to not have a phone that is compatible with the AXS app! We're glad they were able to help you out and we hope you understand the reasons for our longer-than-usual hold times. We are actively working on improvements and tweaks to our customer service channels to help ensure that everyone gets the assistance they need. Again, thank you for your feedback as this is valuable input for our efforts and shows we still have room for improvement!

Tickets were ordered. My wife purchased them and put them in my name then they were canceled. Now we have to wait for a refund! We had to re-purchase them over the phone. The last name is the same. They should've called a phone number before ordering taking the money and then canceling and now having us have to wait for a refund.

VIVID is a total and complete SCAM.... All my friends ordered concert tickets on another site - which were electronically delivered the same date ordered... My ticket from VIVID still hasn't arrived - weeks after I ordered it - and I'm told the concert is selling out. VIVID'S RESPONSE???? Are you ready??? "If your ticket does not arrive by the concert date - we'll give a refund." are you kidding me???? Do yourself a favor and don't EVER order tickets from VIVID.
Hi M, we totally get why you'd be a little concerned about your ticket! As a marketplace, the tickets sold through our site are listed by individuals each with their own limited quantity of tickets. It's quite typical these days that venues not only release tickets in batches (to help prevent site crashes from a huge influx of traffic) but also that they disable transfers between accounts for some or all tickets until closer to the event. Some sellers also wait until closer to the event date just in case something goes awry, so they have time to fix it before they send your ticket over - that means less overall stress for you! It looks like your ticket was transferred successfully the day before the concert, and we hope you and your friends had a blast jamming out together!

Seller revoked the tickets and Vivid still charged us for the tickets. We reached out to the venue and they told us that the tickets were cancelled on Vivid’s end. Absolutely terrible company, conducting fraud and were left on hold for 3 hours.
Hello Bjorn. Thank you for your feedback. Upon reviewing your order, we can confirm that the tickets were delivered and accepted, as the tickets were not cancelled and you were still able to use them at the time. We can confirm that the tickets were claimed and our agents assisted with locating the ticket. We recommend always using the same email used to place the order to claim the tickets.

Needed to secure three tickets to see Weird Al Yankovic at Madison Square Garden for July 12th. Needed an odd number of tickets. I was having trouble processing it online. I called customer service and was connected to Domenick (although the email I received said Charles A). Either way their service was excellent. Even though I was unable to use the VIVID20 code to receive the $20 discount (have to spend over $200). The rep was able to apply $10 since I am a repeat customer. That little gesture made me feel valued as a customer and I will be sure to use VIVID for all my concert and sport ticket needs in the future

I had purchased four tickets to a afternoon MLB game. I decided to sell them at exorbitant selling fees. The day before the game I closed the sale and decided to go. This place is a nightmare to navigate. I had never received a code with the tickets. The rep to which I spoke did not know what she was doing. I talked to another who, after another 45 minutes, told me that my tickets were still up for sale two hours before the game was to start. I never made the game.

To start with my original tickets I purchased 6/28 was cancelled without notice. Called today to reorder tickets and was told by Charles that my purchase would go thru and I would receive my tickets since we were on the phone and the purchase was verified. I place the order and tickets got cancelled right away. There was a pending transaction on my banking account and the payment went through and I didn’t receive my tickets like Charles said I would.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention, Yasmine.

We recommend reaching out to your bank for further assistance regarding the pending transaction. Once the issue is resolved, we will be happy to assist you in placing a new order.

Vivid Seats stole $1100 from me. There 100 % buyers guaranteed is complete B.S. There is no way to contact them via phone number. Stick to StubHub. At least with StubHub you can actually speak to customer service. Imagine spending $1100 on Essence Festival musical tickets and you explain to them you never recieved the tickets, they keep saying it was emailed at 03:45. Refused my refund. Now I'm sick. If your TV is Vivid change the setting. Don't trust a company who doesn't care for your well-being. Only stealing your money.
