    Bought tickets to The Players tournament for my fiancée for Christmas. We flew down to Florida and took off of work to go to this. The day of the event we still did not have our tickets. March 14th it said they would be available to be downloaded and they never were. So, we called customer service first thing on the 15th (day of the tournament). An hour and a half later the best they could was refund my money the day of the event we were supposed to be going to. Buyer guarantee is false advertising and would NEVER recommend buying from them.

    I find it to be a complete joke that I have to pay extra fees on top of the already expensive tickets. Then when it comes to the show my actual tickets came from a complete other company like Seat geek. So if I understand this correctly I was up charged thru Vivid seats to get the same seats I could have went thru seat geek for only cheaper. All of these different ticket companies are just a scam. Just to upcharge the customer. It's getting to the point where people are tired of fee after fee.

    I purchased floor seats for the Shane Gillis show at the Delta Center, on Vivid I was assigned Floor 12 (F12) Row 7. I received tickets from Seat Geek for Section 12 Row 7. My assigned seats were at least 200 feet away from the seats I had purchased. Multiple other people that were seated next to us had also purchased floor seats through Vivid and had the same issue. I paid for floor seats because why would I leave my home to be in the same room as a person I can’t even see?

    Do not buy tickets there! They sent me an email with a blank order number. They took my money from my account but I couldn't open the tickets. I called and because I didn't have an order number they said I couldn't have the tickets and would not refund me. I had to pay for new tickets. They even told me they did have my payment. No refund and no tickets. Be aware!! Then said it was my fault there was a typo on my email address. It worked for them to send me the emails though. Just not the tickets. Scammers!!!!

It was so loud in the arena that I had to use chat to get someone to help me. All correspondence from Vivid Seats were promotional emails and not my ticket link.

    I don’t know how this site is legally operating and am convinced these must be fake reviews. I bought 3 tickets to a Hozier concert- the tickets were listed in CAD and I was charged in usd (100 dollars more than I consented to), I emailed customer service and tried to phone call- I was hung up on. I then realized that the tickets were set to be sent in 2026 when the concert is for 2025, tried contacting them and when I got back was basically an “oh well, nothing we can do”. So it’s VERY LIKELY you will get scammed on here and if you do customer service will ignore you. I lost 400 dollars and haven’t heard a word back from them.

My tickets were delivered to my app on time and we had no issues upon arriving at the gate. Updates were timely and the UI was easy to use and understand. I would use Vivid seats again if the prices remain reasonable.

    I received a call about 40 min before the event telling me my seats were not available. I was offered an upgrade. I was would waited outside the venue until my tickets arrived in the horrible app. Doors were almost closed and called to ask any the new tickets hadn't been delivered. After a 10 min wait I was told "the seller couldn't deliver the tickets" and that there were no longer any tickets available. I was told I would be refunded for the tickets, but I would need to call the insurance company to "request" reimbursement of my insurance.

    So I'm out about $100 in related expenses and two hours of my life because of Vividseat's apparently questionable seat acquisition practices. No after market ticket reseller has ever not be able to provide seats. Vivid seats failed me twice. A company that rules on trust cannot offer seats they cannot fulfill. Unless Vividseats does better than a refund, they have permanently lost a customer. I'll go to Any other reseller and pay more for tickets I know will be available.

    Normally I’ve had a decent experience on this app, Vivid Seats has typically been my preferred platform to get tickets. However this time I got them through SeatGeek, mainly due to price and the ability to see the pricing with Fees. But on our way over to the Austin FC match I wanted to get parking passes to make things easier on my friends. We were about 5 minutes out and the game started soon and we wanted to be there ahead of time. Typically with SeatGeek it arrived almost instantaneously, which was what I was expecting - but after five minutes I have a confirmation. We arrived and the parking security turned us away because the confirmation was not enough to park there. I tried reaching out to support but wasn’t able to make any progress.

    The police told us we had to find another place to park, so we eventually paid to get parking on a different lot. But at this point I still haven’t received the tickets, the game was getting ready to start. I wanted to get it refunded prior to me receiving the parking pass but support glitched where none of my messages would send. I reached out to support today and was not helped or refunded. I was just told, "It’s not your fault." It’s frustrating. I feel like I just wasted money. But but the worst thing was the fact that it was my fault now that all of my friends and I were late to the game because the tickets that I paid for didn’t arrive in my email. I and my friends will probably never use this platform again, unless there is some resolution to this matter. In the future, I think there needs to be some sort of policy and or provision, where if it claims to be an instant delivery, it should be instant not at a convenience.

    First time using Vivid Seats and I made an account using “Sign in with Apple” - not knowing this app doesn’t actually save tickets, but pushes them to other ticket brokers. My Vivid acct email is different than my AXS email, meaning my tickets got lost in the internet ether. Day of our event, I spent almost 2 hours working with their chat service.

    The first two reps were useless, one of which said “try to be positive” after dodging multiple questions on whether I could attend my show. They seemed more interested in getting me to hang up than to try helping. To their credit, the third rep was amazing, identified the issue immediately, and rerouted the tickets to the venue’s box office so I could pick them up - taking less than 5 mins. Your service experience will depend on the rep’s experience, which is unfortunately the standard these days. The fees were also nearly the cost of a ticket and I wish the level of service reflected this - instead prepare for lots of canned responses and inconsistent help.

    I couldn't sell my tickets on my phone, where I had done all the buying. Having to download my tickets, after three attempts with the customer service, in order to sell them. The disconnect between the mobile app and website is completely confusing and FRUSTRATING. For what you are charging, the mobile app should be able to do everything, WITHOUT having to download tickets in order to send them to the new buyer. I'll never use your service again. Thankfully there are other options. You should remember you aren't the only choice.

    Absurdly expensive fees. I bought two tickets at $54 each, and ended up paying $161!!! Not to mention they have zero customer service, and zero refund policy! I've bought tickets from other ticket sites and been able to get a refund same day, but Vivid just tells you to kick rocks. I bought tickets for a concert not knowing my husband had already bought them as a birthday gift. Now I have extra tickets and I can't reliably resell them, because Vivid won't release my tickets until a few days before the show.

    Cherry on top, however- just in case, I went through their ticket-selling option, and I can put them up for sale now, without the tickets in hand. Unreliable sales, they are all for. Interesting part of this process, they want me to enter my credit card number to sell my tickets. There's three links to the right: Will my credit card be charged? -this link works and provides an answer. Why is my credit card required? -this link works and provides an answer. If my tickets sell, is the 10% seller fee charged to my card? -this link does not work and suspiciously does not provide an answer

    After the fact, I did some Googling, and discovered an entire FaceBook page dedicated to dissatisfied customers of Vivid Seats, and spent an hour reading story after story of scams, financial retaliation from this $1.19 billion company, unreliable ticket delivery causing people to miss events, sellers being allowed to sell tickets they don't have, and more. Clearly a money hungry scummy site. So. If anyone is looking to buy my price-tripled concert tickets, keep an eye out on Vivid- maybe I'll be the next scammy "seller" to sell tickets I don't have.

    I represent a venue and we never approved for them to sell our tickets. Also, we have had people come in and say they bough their tickets from Vivid Seats and we have no record of any purchase in our system. They are scamming venues and patrons out of money.

    I bought 3 tickets to a local basketball game. A couple days before the game I decided to check and make sure that I was good. It ended up that the seller only sent me two out of the three tickets. I spent about 3 hours over 2 days trying to get the 3rd ticket I bought and each time Vivid said they were talking to the buyer and the 3rd ticket was on its way. They told me three times that the seller was going to send it right away. Long story short, I got two out of the three tickets and Vivid Seats did nothing to try to help me and my kids out. They offered me tickets 20 rows behind what I bought and made it seem like they were doing me a favor.

    I would never buy a single ticket from them and now I have two kids that are disappointed because they couldn’t go to a game because their seller decided to keep one ticket and tried to sell a pair instead of a solo ticket. Vivid Seats only cares about the ticket sellers, not about the ticket buyers. I would avoid this company more than a herpes virus. Stick with StubHub and SeatGeek.

    I bought 5 tickets for a family event costing $3000. Vivid Seats has a policy called Seat Saver written in small print. Ticket purchases of 4+ can be split! They're splitting families with children and pointing that out just before the event...greedies! I don't want Row A, I want Row J WITH my family which is what I paid for. I would have paid for Row A if that's what I wanted. Customer service is terrible, there is no escalation department because they have trained their representatives to tell customers the same thing 10x, hoping they will just hang up and move on. They couldn't transfer me to a manager/supervisor, they couldn't refund me the tickets I paid for, they couldn't provide me with an email address to VividSeats CEO, and they couldn't email me their policy! They can't do anything!

There was something about your order that signaled to us that the transaction may not be authorized which is why we required the additional steps to make sure that everything was above-board. Unfortunately because we had to ask for additional information, the increased delay meant the original tickets were no longer available, but we did reach out to discuss some equivalent seats in the same row and on the same level as your original selection, which you accepted.

    Vivid Seats seemed to be the easiest to do when purchasing tickets online. I've also applied with the rewards program when I purchased and it was fine. This was a special circumstance buying these expensive tickets for the playoffs, but I might use Vivid for more reasonably priced things.

    I'm not sure how I feel about the whole guaranteed resale from Vivid itself for prices that are way down. I ended up taking it, but I didn't feel great that it made the profit margin so obvious. That's already high with all the fees. I would suggest to offer a more competitive price when offering a guaranteed resale because people are already reselling at a loss.

    Fees are high. I paid $102 for 2 $30 tickets. I will try another site next year when I order my tickets. I go annually to a game with a friend of mine, perhaps next year I buy at the stadium instead of online. This is supposed to be a discount site...Not a discount at all.

    Ease and promptness with purchasing tickets was great. Unfortunately we had a family emergency and was unable to attend last minute. Couldn’t get any refund back. Was hoping to at least be able to get some kind of refund. And yes I know it says no refunds. I just wish the policy was a little more empathetic considering how much business they acquire. I will probably not use them again and will go through Ticketmaster.

    Hi Selina! We’re sorry to learn that you were unable to attend the event. We understand that plans can change, but once an order is placed, it generally cannot be canceled unless certain conditions are met. Like many ticket marketplaces, Vivid Seats operates under a policy of all sales being final. As a result, we can only offer refunds in the event of cancellation by the organizers. However, since your tickets are valid and transferable, consider reselling them as a great alternative if you can’t attend.

    Hey Edgardo, we looked into your order for the parking pass, since we guarantee that your pass will be valid for entry. Your order appears to be for the game taking place on March 8th, which as of the time of writing this reply (March 5th), has not yet taken place. Parking passes are only valid for the day stated on them, and your pass should show that it is for March 8th rather than February 22nd. We did have passes available for the 22nd but that is not what you purchased.

    As a marketplace, prices on our site may vary from the original price charged by the lot or garage for parking, as whomever lists their parking pass may list it for a price of their choosing based on what they feel is fair. If you do not wish to use your parking pass or don't have plans to attend the game this Saturday, you can always resell your unwanted pass to recoup some or all of the cost of your order, at your own discretion. We hope this helps to clarify why your parking pass did not scan as valid the other day for the 22nd, and that you understand the reason prices on our platform may vary.

    I bought tickets to the local cirque show here in Houston. As soon as I checked out I realized I had made a mistake and bought the 3:30 show instead of the 7:00 show as I intended to get. I immediately called and was told that I can’t cancel the order and that I’d have to resell the tickets back to Vivid Seats. Not great news. But ok. Then I spent the next hour and a half trying to list these tickets. It said my password was wrong no less than 10 times as I reset and re tried over and over. I finally gave up trying and went to sleep. In the morning I tried again and my password was no longer wrong. The problem? The show started in 6 hours. Once it’s 6 hours away, you can’t sell the tickets. Called Vivid Seats again and was recommended that I sell them to a different site. I was surprised that they would send me to their competitors and be so unwilling to help. I won’t be using vivid seats in the future under any circumstances.

    Do not recommend Vivid Seats whatsoever. They had multiple show dates listed under incorrect dates and refuse to refund for their mistake. They do not honor their buyer guarantee at all. Do not try to call their customer service team either, and if you get through to their escalation team they will hang up on you instead of fixing the problem. Do better Vivid Seats!

    The agent found the tickets I was looking for and offered a promotion so I was very happy I called. I received clear instructions and since it was a TBD playoff game I was concerned and she answered my questions as to what would happen if the event didn’t happen.

    I highly recommend using a different company to purchase any tickets. I had a terrible transaction with this company and would be concerned about being overcharged, or charged hidden fees. There are plenty of reliable and safe tickets resellers out there and in my opinion Vivid Seats is not one of them.

    I accidentally bought a ticket that I do not want, but there is no way for me to refund it and get my money back. And I can't resell it either, there is nowhere on your site I can see where that is an option. Your site has been frustrating and I have contacted your company but just had bots talk to me. I want to get rid of the ticket and get my money back, and I will be contacting my bank soon if I am unable to refund the ticket.

    While ordering 6 tickets for the concert, I received a 15% off offer. I asked the representative to reflect this discount. After waiting on hold for many minutes, he said it would take days to resolve the request and said I would hear via email and the request would, most likely, be granted. I still have not heard. I spent more than $1600 on these tickets and would appreciate the discount. Thank you in advance!

    The app is good for storing and retrieving digital tickets. I think the gaming center is a waste of time. The trivia questions are not that interesting and really a waste of time. As you answer questions you earn points towards a discount on a future ticket. You won't find out until you try to redeem the discount that you have to spend at least $100 to use it. Bait and switch and again just a waste of time.

    Hey Jennifer, we appreciate your thoughts about our Game Center. Sometimes the trivia games are for giveaways, but you still earn tokens you can use for discounts. Different types of discounts you redeem will have different requirements or terms & conditions. If you aren't interested in playing the trivia, no worries! There are plenty of other ways to save, like our free-to-enroll rewards program and the occasional discount offers we send to you via email and through the app as notifications. Maybe someday we'll run a trivia game for an artist or band you love!

    Karri, we know it can be disappointing to learn that you paid more than you may have otherwise paid if you had bought tickets at a different time or from a different source. The prices on our site are set by the folks listing their own tickets for sale, and this can mean that prices are above or below the amount the venue originally charged for them. Prices can also change over time as tickets are listed or sold, and sometimes someone will list a ticket for a steep discount to sell quickly. We hope you'll give us another chance - who knows what kind of awesome deals you'll find?
