Updated review: July 31, 2025
In May when I bought my ticket for the first time using Vivid Seats, they seemed very inflexible. I used a certain credit card for the purchase while talking to an agent on the phone. After clicking I noticed that Capital One was giving a certain discount. The agent would not let me change the credit card for the purchase at that time and so could not receive the discount. It seemed a little too rigid and unfair, so I gave a poor review.
However, a few days later Alec from Vivid seats called, apologized and honored my discount. I really appreciated the gesture. So I can say- Your opinions matters to them and they will try to make it right!
Original Review: May 12, 2025
I did not have a good experience because I bought a ticket with a credit card then a $40 discount popped up if I had used my Capital One card. The system did not let me change change the order 2 mins after clicking the button. Not sure if you understand but I am not thrilled with your system and the $108 fees.
Hi Dee, thank you so much for setting up a time for us to call you back and talk about what happened! We're glad we got an opportunity to not only honor that discount for you, but answer all the questions you had about our company and your order and ticket. We hope that you can now rest easy and look forward to the concert with your loved ones!

I'm so happy I was able to get tickets to this event! Vivid made the process easy and quick. My friend is going to freak out once she sees the seats I was able to get. I'm checking Vivid first from now on. I will be changing the amount of notifications I get but other than that, it was a smooth process.

I LOVE Trivia questions!! So when I saw that Vivid Seats was giving a chance for fans to go to their favorite artist concert by just simply playing a trivia game?! I immediately signed up! Although I didn’t start on Day 1, I’m enjoying the questions asked every day. And I hope I’m selected for the Beyoncé tickets for the Cowboy Carter Tour! I love learning and answering questions about her, I love trivia games and I love concerts!!

So I love using you guys. You really do make it easy. Only problem is I'm still waiting on my tickets to the event tomorrow. It is just unnerving to be in limbo about tickets, when the event is the next day and I have received my parking pass ticket already.
Casey, we really appreciate your kind words and completely understand the anxiety that can come with waiting on tickets so close to the event. Ticket delivery timelines are determined by the venue, and in some cases, tickets are released just 24 to 48 hours beforehand for security reasons. As soon as they are released, we make sure they are delivered promptly. Our team reviewed your order and it looks like your tickets were successfully delivered ahead of the event. Thank you again for trusting us and we hope you had an incredible time at the show.

QR code did not work. I had to pay for parking at the designated parking spot. I called customer service. Was asked weird question although it's obvious the QR was not used. I even have a receipt from the ball park. Not even sure if I'll receive a refund. Very upset.
Hi Susan, thank you for sharing your experience. We always aim to provide a smooth and reliable experience for our fans, so we completely understand your frustration with the issues you encountered using your parking pass. Our team has been notified and is actively reviewing your order. You’ll receive an update as soon as possible. We appreciate your patience in the meantime and hope to resolve this for you shortly.

Firstly, there was a problem with the electronic tickets, the scan code couldn't be delivered which I had to go out of the club and fight for my ticket to be reinstated. There must be issues between Vivid and Ticketmaster. Secondly, this ticket was sold/presented to me as a 9.6 visibility/comfort. Absolutely not, couldn't see anything from anywhere I was supposed to be. Tried finding a better spot elsewhere, soon after was asked to move. Thirdly, the club must have had some HVAC problem, there's barely breathing air available, it was extremely uncomfortable. All and all this was an experience I regret.
Hey Andre, we're disappointed to learn you had some technical issues with your tickets. We tried to reach you by phone so we could ask you some more questions about what happened when you arrived at the venue, and we hope you'll send us a DM over social media or set up a time for us to call you back. We'd love to help turn this around and make sure you get to have an awesome experience!

The way the seat availability was presented when I went to purchase tickets the night before the event made it seem like certain sections were not available for purchase. This was completely untrue as the venue was essentially empty. It does not take a rocket scientist to figure out why you did that. Because of this, I cannot and will not ever trust your site again to purchase any tickets.
Hey Peter, it's never our intent to make you feel misled! The low inventory prompt has to do with how few tickets we have compared to the estimated amount of seats that the venue has, and may not always be accurate to whether or not an event is actually almost sold out or not. It's not necessarily possible for our system to know the difference between low demand for an event (leading to few people trying to resell their tickets) or high demand and low supply. Still, we'd be really appreciative if you followed up with us via phone or social media DM to discuss further as we value your input and want to hear more from you about what you saw at checkout and your overall experience.

You charge over 30% for "fees". Absolutely ridiculous and way higher than any other site. You're doing nothing that requires that high of a charge. I woudn't recommend this site. There needs to be a flat rate. Charging hundreds of dollars to purchase a ticket is insane. The rewards program is an absolute joke as well. There is little to no value in it.

These fees help support our Buyer Guarantee and ensure that fans have access to dedicated customer support whenever they need it.

Tickets were delivered 1 hour prior to event time. We were coming a state away for the show. But at the last minute we couldn’t come due to my husband's work schedule. Because of last minute delivery, there was no way I had time to resell my tickets. So I was out $350. I could’ve bought directly from Ticketmaster, and then would have had more time to try and resell my tickets.
Thank you for sharing your feedback, Lara. We understand how important it is to receive your tickets promptly after purchase, and we appreciate your patience.

It’s literally easier for me to get into my bank than it is to access my ticket. There must have been 15 different verifications and links I had to go through in order to get to my ticket. I sat at the front door for 15 minutes and missed the band’s opening. I’ve probably left a total of 3 bad reviews in my entire life I’m not just complaining. Even once you get through the 600-factor verification, it’s a maze to find where the barcode even is. 2 workers at the venue were trying to help me figure it out and even they were stumped. Sorry for the bad review, but I won’t be using Vivid Seats again after my experience.

I bought a ticket to a concert by the Old Crow Medicine Show at the American Music Theater on May 9. I purchased the ticket in January and received a download so I could print the ticket. The ticket had an assigned seat and a barcode for entry. Yesterday I received a call saying that the seat was no longer available and I could have a refund or a new less desirable seat. I do not understand why I was sent a ticket for download and then the seat was taken away at the last minute. Two other seats a purchased and downloaded at the same time are supposedly valid. So obviously if I purchase tickets through Vivid Seats I cannot be sure that they will not be taken away at the last minute even after they have been sent to me. Consequently I will not be using Vivid Seats for any further ticket purchases.
Hi Bonnie. We understand your frustration regarding the last-minute change to your concert tickets. When tickets are no longer available or the seller cannot fulfill the original order, we strive to provide replacements that are equal to or better than what was initially purchased. In this instance, you were offered an upgrade to a different section to ensure you still had a valid entry. We appreciate your feedback and are committed to improving our processes to enhance your experience with Vivid Seats.

Reselling process is not easy to navigate, particularly with stipulations around type of ticket (electronic), and time period for sale (not within 2 days). Also, a $100 service fee for a $260 ticket is akin to Trump's tariffs. Feels like robbery, and serves as a disincentive to utilize the service.

Honestly, hands-down, the best sales rep that I have ever dealt with he was very upfront. He was very personable. He was very informative and very friendly. We had recently been looking at getting a ring camera and Orion convinced us that you all would be a better fit. I would highly recommend him to anyone that would be looking for your home services. We have an autistic son and we feel much safer now having the camera systems on the front and the back door and the 24 hour monitoring system. The install tech as well was very nice and very accommodating to our son. Orion was willing to take the time to talk to me about our lives and our situation and it was very nice to have a sales person that didn’t feel like they didn’t care. You could tell that he genuinely cared about not only his job, but that he was invested in making my home and my children safer.

Ordered tickets yesterday around 11am. Took the Vivid Seats team 6 1/2 hours to figure out why I never got an email to accept the ticket transfer. I was late to the event I bought tickets for.

I thought it was fantastic. Great job. I’d like to see more views from inside the stadium at possible seats so you can get an idea of where you’re sitting. I did use a different website in order to accomplish that. Looking forward to the concert. Thank you for that.

This company is nothing short of a scam. They promote parking space tickets but refuse to take any responsibility for the actual availability of those spaces. Their excuse—that they lack control over the vendor’s offerings—is unacceptable. I bought a parking ticket under their so-called "100% Buyer Guarantee," but when I arrived at the parking lot, there were no spaces available. After wasting an hour waiting, I had to search for another facility. When I reached out to customer service for a refund, they shockingly claimed I was ineligible because, despite selling the tickets, they have no control over the spaces at the facility. It's crystal clear that Vivid Seats operates as a legal scam company.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We genuinely understand how frustrating it can be to arrive and find parking unavailable, and we’re sorry for any inconvenience this situation caused. Please know that Vivid Seats is not affiliated with the venue or the parking facilities, and our tickets are sourced from the primary market to ensure authenticity. Parking at venues is generally on a first-come, first-served basis, which means availability can vary and is outside of our control. To help prevent similar issues in the future, we recommend arriving early to secure a parking spot. We appreciate your understanding and hope this explanation provides some clarity regarding how parking arrangements are managed.

0/2 with Vivid Seats. The first time I purchased tickets; the Seller did not actually have them. We had to wait three innings for customer service to let us know and we did not make it into the game until buying tickets elsewhere at the end of the third inning. In my second experience, I purchased tickets and tried to transfer them to a friend. This time, I received tickets but they vanished somewhere in the transfer process. They have some partnership with the Atlanta Braves which inserts themselves into the ticket buying process. I will will pay 3x more to buy them at the box office instead of using Vivid Seats.

The Vivid Seats app made buying tickets to the Yankees game fast and easy. I was able to browse different sections, compare prices, and see my seat view before purchasing, all from my phone. The interface is clean and intuitive, and the filtering options (price, section, row) helped me zero in on what I wanted without scrolling endlessly. Once I selected my tickets, checkout was straightforward, and I received them almost instantly in my mobile wallet—no printing or hassle.
At the stadium, entry was seamless. The barcode scanned without a hitch, and I appreciated the reminders from the app before the game started, including parking suggestions and stadium info. The seats matched the description exactly, and there were no surprise fees beyond what was clearly listed at checkout. One minor downside: prices on Vivid can fluctuate a lot leading up to the event, and I noticed a small drop after I bought. Still, the peace of mind and convenience were worth it. Overall, Vivid Seats delivered a smooth, stress-free experience for my Yankees outing. If you’re looking for a reliable app to snag last-minute tickets without a mess, it’s a solid choice. I’d definitely use it again.
Thanks for the detailed feedback, Ryan! We're excited to hear how smooth and hassle-free your Yankees experience was.

Your platform should not allow ticket sales once an event has begun, especially for a musical that runs only 100 minutes with no intermission. A blanket policy of “no refunds unless purchased after 60 minutes” does not make sense in this context. I made the mistake while I toggled back and forth but the lack of refund is infuriating. While I appreciate being offered a credit, I feel strongly that a full refund is warranted. The customer service chat experience was extremely frustrating and unhelpful, and although the phone representative was kind, the overall process left me very disappointed. I will use the credit because I have no other choice, but I do not plan to use Vivid Seats again in the future unless there’s a meaningful change to how these situations are handled.

Parking pass purchase! I purchased a parking pass Highmark Stadium through Vivid’s website on 5/3/2025 for an event that is occurring 6/14/2025 and is not sold out! I called the next day 5/4/2025 to cancel and was told I could not. I feel this is unfair and unjust seeing the event is a month and a half away and not sold out. In addition Vivid only confirmed my purchase but has not provided me tickets. They said I will not receive those tickets until after 6/11/2025 but before the event. Vivid informed me that I can’t cancel the parking ticket! I believe there is a “three day cooling off” period in the state of NY for cancellations on purchases. However, I feel their policies of no refunds needs to be changed. I do plan on pursuing. It’s not about the money, it’s now about principle!

I would advise all persons to never buy from VividSeats ever. I will certainly never do so. My MLB ticket was not properly transferred to me, which caused multiple issues: confusion even among Vivid support folks whether it was valid and I would have had issues reselling the ticket if I wanted to do so. I had to make MANY phone calls, over 6 or 7 days, to try to best ascertain whether the ticket was even valid. The Cubs’ ticket office had no record of me owning the ticket, which led them to believe I **may** be turned away at the time of the event.
Not sure where this review will be seen/posted, but on the website, ConsumerAffairs.com, one can see that VividSeats gets EXTREMELY bad reviews…and MANY of them. One-star reviews outnumber ALL of the other four ratings COMBINED by a nearly two-to-one ratio…more than 2,000 one-star (WORST) ratings, and less than 800 four-star ratings! (I did not know of this site prior to my issue…only after Vivid asked for feedback was I directed by them to this site…)
https://www.consumeraffairs.com/entertainment/vivid-seats.html1-star reviews: 2,106
2-star: 130
3-star: 106
4-star: 124
5-star: 790
Also, because the ticket never was transferred properly to me, I wouldn’t have been able to sell the ticket properly…this is just bogus. Further, VividSeats’ customer service agents are VERY poor, and their technology is extremely shortsighted. Because all MLB tickets go thru the MLB Ballpark app, all ticket sales (even through third parties) should be transferred via that app…VividSeats’ tech clearly does not enforce this mechanism. VividSeats’ technology needs to enforce transfers thru the MLB Ballpark app so that customers 1) have peace of mind that their ticket is valid, and 2) they are able to properly sell the ticket if they are unable to attend the event.
I was told by one VividSeats support rep that my ticket was indeed not valid—due to the dynamic bar code moving vertically instead of horizontally, but it turns out that these tickets apparently do need to be vertically oriented. I spent a good 20-30 hours of phone calls and online research trying to determine whether the ticket was valid and to request VividSeats to have the seller properly transfer the ticket, which Vivid assured me they would do, but they NEVER did…and they also never followed thru after that request was made…on three different occasions over 3-4 days! I will definitely NEVER buy anything thru VividSeats EVER again. It is indeed too bad that espn.com has Vivid as their default ticket buying mechanism. As a result, I will also never go thru espn.com for buying tickets like this ever again.

Did you know that the final price you pay on VividSeats.com is often far higher than what’s initially displayed? That’s because they use a deceptive tactic called drip pricing—a misleading practice designed to lure consumers in with a seemingly low price, only to pile on hidden fees after you’ve entered your personal and payment information. But it doesn’t stop there. Vivid Seats can add over 35% in surprise fees—labeled as “Service Fees” and “Transfer Fees”—after you think you’ve seen the full price. It’s a bait-and-switch strategy that’s become disturbingly common in the resale ticketing world.
Worse yet, they intentionally confuse buyers by listing tickets under misleading section names. For example, tickets listed as “A2” might actually belong to an entirely different, less desirable section like “AWC2.” The only clue? A seller’s note buried in tiny print so small you’d need a microscope to catch it—assuming you even know to look. And if you decide to resell the tickets? Brace yourself: not only will you have paid hundreds in hidden fees just to buy them—often around $300 per ticket—but you’ll also be charged 10% of your listing price when you try to sell. No refunds, no flexibility, just more fees. This business model preys on consumer trust. It’s not just unethical—it’s predatory, deceiving and misleading. Notice the screenshots! AZ - $812 p/t = Over $2,200 total. CO - What I thought I bought (A2), what I actually got A2WC, now I need to buy two wheelchairs for the concert. Please run away from this company!!!

This company sold me tickets to a show that was not taking place on the date on the tickets. The actual date of the show I am unable to make and they refused to refund my money. They do not care regardless if they rip people or not.
Hey Johnny, from our end it looks like the event was rescheduled officially shortly after you placed the order for these tickets. Your updated tickets were sent to you the day after you reached out to ask us about the rescheduling. At that time the event was still set to take place on May 10th, but now it seems like the event may have been postponed further, or fully cancelled. We're working on confirming the status of the event and we'll be following up with you as soon as we have more information. If the event is indeed fully cancelled then you'll be compensated in full automatically, so keep an eye out for an update from us!

Vivid has always been good and I’ve enjoyed my experience so far. This is my third time using them and normally, I don’t see a whole bunch of price gouging. It’s like some of the others are a lot more expensive than what Vivid is promoting. Purchasing the tickets from Vivid is also pretty easy.

I've never had a negative experience with Vivid Seats. The prices always seem fair, and they show you the fees upfront, so it’s straightforward. The rewards program was a great idea. I just bought my 11th set of tickets, and whatever the average ticket price I spent, they gave me back as a discount and that was terrific. The app is user-friendly, so it’s great. The one thing that annoys me is it keeps showing I have a notification on the app when there's none. I’m sure that's by design so people keep opening the apps to see events. But other companies do crazier things than that, so I’m not even shocked.

I recommend Vivid Seats. It’s easy to buy. I haven’t had issues.
A friend had a good experience with it, so I tried it, and it’s gone pretty well. It’s usually tickets to the Red Sox, but Boston Celtics too, for two or three years now. I go to a lot of those games.
I go to Red Sox opening games. I will buy some in a little bit for a couple of Celtics playoff games. I do it on a mobile device as it’s simple. You type what you want. Everything pops up. You click on the seats you want. They can’t make it any easier. I had issues with the ticket once, but I called and they fixed it right away.

We went to Miami and Atlanta United soccer games, and also to see Usher. I always use Vivid Seats and buy my tickets through the Vivid app on my phone. It’s easy to use.
I was able to use their rewards program, though I can’t remember the artist’s name tied to the credit. The reward went toward the ticket, but I had to buy quite a few, about 16 tickets, to earn it. They could improve the rewards program, and the tickets are pretty pricey.

Initial mishap was fixed by excellent customer service. After missing out on a $20 promo due to a system glitch, I was feeling annoyed. However, within a few days of my review, someone from Vivid Seats personally reached to apologize for the mistake and that they saw the issue on their end to be able to fix it. Furthermore, they offered me a $20 refund on my purchase to make up for the promo code glitch, in addition to a store credit in the hopes that I will make another purchase from them.
I received a 2nd follow-up call today to let me know the refund had processed, and I’m very appreciative of the effort they’ve gone to to leave me satisfied. After this, I’d have no issues recommending Vivid to anyone making a ticket purchase, and I’ll definitely purchase from them again!
Original Review: April 29, 2025
When buying my tickets, I had the “VIVID20” $20 off code applied in my cart with the total price reflecting the discount. However, when I proceeded to checkout, Vivid removed the discount and charged me full price anyways. Now, I’m out an extra $20 and have no way of cancelling the transaction to re-apply the discount code.
Hey Weston, thank you for letting us know there was an issue with the promo code. We reached out to you today to make sure that everything else went smoothly for you and to refund you the value of the promo code so you could get those savings you were looking forward to.

I was very unhappy with Vivid Seats and I'll never use them again.

When purchasing my tickets for an upcoming show, the website glitched and refreshed, thus prompting me to purchase a second set of tickets that I did not need.

The customer service experience I had was not good (a chat bot that had no capability of truly understanding my problem) and prompted me to sell my tickets as that was the only solution, despite this issue being the fault of the website/company.

I have purchased tickets before with no issues. Unfortunately I bought parking tickets that were being resold without my knowledge. The night before the concert, no ticket delivered notification in my email but on the app showed delivered. I tried to reach out to support, because I did not want this to be an issue as I had to drive a 3 hour distance for this concert and got the automated message that I was outside of support hours. Contacted customer service the next morning and explained my issue. I then asked for a refund, as I had found alternate parking due to amount of time we had to travel as well with no knowledge of the area to really know if street parking was available.. How far away we would need to park.. etc. They assured me they would take care of the issue, as well as if I didn’t receive my tickets in time they would assist me.
I only paid 25 for the alternate parking which was also a 20 minute walk to the venue, so I was willing to take the loss on 25 dollars with their promise to deliver the tickets in a timely manner.. The entire car ride, I continued to check my email… With nothing.. Get to the alternate parking spot, park, walk to the venue 20 minutes, and stand in line.. The doors open at 4..I paid almost 600 dollars for the concert tickets so of course I want to be there when the doors open so that I can get inside the venue, do the concert things, grab drinks, grab merchandise and find our seats in time to enjoy all acts of the shows without feeling rushed or the need to do this in between acts. Once I get in my seat, I check my email and see that the tickets were cancelled at 4:05 pm.. Ad then transferred.
After I’m inside of the venue. I immediately contacted customer service and explained to them the situation. They asked me to email them for the proof that the tickets were cancelled at 4:05 pm, in which I did and was told they would investigate and get back to me. So of course, I did. I didn’t hear anything back after a couple of days, so I then again reached out to customer service where they told me they were still investigating. Now, a week and one day later after the concert I still hadn’t heard anything so I decided again to reach back out to customer service where they then told me they investigated and they saw that tickets were transferred so they would not be issuing me a refund.. Despite me proving they did not transfer them in time but actually cancelled the tickets after the doors were opened. And this is not even mentioning the fact that it was a sold out show of 48,000 people. Never again will I use this app..

NEVER USE THIS SITE FOR TICKETS. I bought tickets in February for a concert on May 5th. Was charged $500 dollars and still do not have the tickets in my possession. They did not disclose until after purchasing that I would receive the tickets ONE DAY BEFORE the concert. Ridiculous. I am expected to travel to the venue in hopes that I receive the tickets, after seeing so many other reviews from customers that didn't receive theirs or received fakes? When I tried to contact customer service through their chat, they straight up lied and told me tickets have not been released by the venue yet. This I know to be false as my friends bought tickets in the same section and row as me and instantly received theirs through Vivid Seats, which have now been accessible in their Ticketmaster accounts for months. Never again. Will be reporting them to the FTC, BBB, and disputing with my credit card company. Do better.

App has easy to buy tickets BUT the service fees are absolutely outrageous. I just bought 2 playoff tickets for the St. Louis Blues game and each ticket had a $65 service fee. So essentially $130 just in the service fees and then the tax on top of it. It was easy to get the tickets and didn't have an issue. However will be the last time I use them because the fees are ridiculous.

I dealt with Adrianna tonight regarding an order, for a game coming up, in which I have not received tickets as of yet. She was very helpful and friendly, and able to come across as searching for an answer to my situation. She gave clarity and was easy to deal with.
We’re so thrilled to hear that, Scott! So glad Adrianna was able to help—thanks for sharing!

I purchased two tickets with Vivid Seats for a show in Brooklyn, NY on April 12,2025 at the Barclays Center and was denied entry to the event because of circumstances out of my control. I called to request a refund because I read their Terms of Use policy and it stated if we have trouble gaining entry not at our own fault or Covid-19 related we are deemed a full refund as sole remedy. The first agent stated that I would have to take this up with the venue for a refund. That was not acceptable! That following Monday April 14th, I called to speak to a representative about the matter again and he said an internal investigation would be done on the SITUATION, as far as seeing why they weren’t admitting remaining attendees inside, they advised me to give them 3-5 business days. Never heard anything back, not a call or an email.
I called to follow up on this Monday April 21st, the representative named Shawn or Sean stated that the investigation team discovered the event still happened and so getting a refund “was out of question” he tried to see about alternative compensation, but his team completely denied me and blew me off as coming to a resolution. He told me to RESEND supporting evidence to the support team and that I would be sent a denial of admission form. I checked my email the next morning to see if they had sent me a form, nothing! I then decided to live chat with an agent named Aradhya and stated I never received a denial of admissions form that was supposed to be sent to my email to fill out and have the venue fill out for a statement since that was IN THEIR POLICY. Her response was that I didn’t need to fill out one now because the team already had received answers that the venue denied entry because of overcrowd.
Once again HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH US SOLELY. So this time I was told I wouldn’t receive a refund because my tickets were 100% valid and that because the venue made this decision it’s on the venue for me to connect with for a refund ! When I didn’t buy my tickets with the venue I bought them with VIVID ! Hands down the WORST experience dealing with them in regards to THEIR own POLICY they do not honor or abide by!!! Do NOT BUY WITH THEM!
Hi Ciera, thank you for bringing this to our attention. We're truly sorry to hear that you were denied entry to the event and have experienced delays during the investigation process. Upon further review, we can see that there has been recent communication with you regarding updates on this matter. We can confirm that your tickets were valid and were sent in a timely manner. Had the venue scanned your tickets, you would have been granted entry without issue. However, due to concerns about crowding, the venue made the decision to stop allowing additional guests inside in the interest of safety. As you noted from our terms and conditions, admission is ultimately subject to the venue, event organizers, and promoters, especially regarding safety and health policies. While we sincerely sympathize with your situation, we’re unfortunately unable to issue a refund as this decision was made solely by the venue. If you’d like to discuss this further, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Was charged twenty five dollars for a "service fee" on top of the sixty dollar fee for parking. It didn't show up until I had approved the payment. When I tried to cancel the transaction there was no method available. Junk fees are outrageous, coloring my feeling about attending AC/DC concert.

The customer service I received today from the agent from your sales department was stellar. Because the Ticketmaster process is complicated and not terribly clear, I reached out to Vividseats for help. Your agent guided me through the process patiently and clearly. And she remained in the line until the transfer to my buyer was complete. She is an asset to your organization.
Wow, Frank, this is so great to read! We love hearing that our amazing agent was able to help you. Thanks for sharing!

I was very disappointed when I later found out the tickets I bought were highly inflated in price with no reason. The company is aware of this and they do not show you the price you paid after you complete the order. It isn't shown in your account or on the emails they send either. I won't be buying from Vivid Seats again.

SCAM COMPANY. I didn’t get my tickets for weeks. I filed a claim with my cc company because I hadn't received anything, but the claim was closed because Vivid Seats said they had them and apparently you can't file a cc claim twice with Capital One. Anyways, the day of the event, I started to panic and so I call and they say, “Oh, we’ll email them today, your email was wrong.” I head to the event that night, turns out they gave me tickets to the right event but to the showing that happened earlier in the day, my fault for not looking close enough, I guess.
I got to my event with 7 friends and my boss. Tickets don’t work, security is confused it and say they pop up “returned”?? Waste of $1,000!!! I called customer service and the lady didn’t transfer me to anyone, wouldn’t tell me her name, offered no refund, and HUNG UP. Ewwww. Guys, go somewhere else, pleasssseeee, don’t make my mistake.😭😭😭😭
Hi Megan, we really appreciate your patience while we investigated the issues you described. On our end, it seems you accidentally placed an order for the 2pm showing instead of the 8pm showing that you wanted, however due to the typo in your email address, not only was delivery of the tickets delayed, but that also prevented you from knowing about the mix-up with the time until the 2pm showing had already taken place. We still are grateful that you reported that the tickets scanned as "returned" rather than invalid or something similar, as that's an unusual circumstance that we needed to dig deeper into to fully understand. We spoke over the phone today to provide you with our findings and discussed a resolution that we hope helps to improve what was understandably a very frustrating situation for yourself and your fellow guests. We hope you'll consider giving us another chance to help you take your group out to another night at the theater soon!

I'm still out off by the process of paying for tickets several months before I receive them. I don't think people should sell tickets they don't have. I also think what actually happens is that tickets are sold months in advance for $X dollars and if the price goes down, we get our tickets at the higher locked in price. But if the price goes up, our tickets at resold at the higher price to someone else and we're given a refund. It's not a good or honest system. Tell me I'm wrong.

The experience with Vivid Seats was GREAT. When deciding to purchasing a seat, it only states the section one will be sitting in. It would nice to be able to know which seats I am going to be purchasing. Not just the section. I was happy with my seats I was assigned. GREAT GAME. Thank you, Mattric

You really need to state upfront BEFORE tickets are purchased that tickets can ONLY be accessed in app ONLY. NO way to open or print from email! My phone is old and cracked and does not work properly AND was full of photos and video. I had to upload everything on my phone to a laptop whose hard drive is also crashing just so I'd have room to download app. The download still took 45 minutes. The whole thing took more than an hour, stressed me to the max, made me 20 minutes late for the concert which is Frampton's last tour and was really NOT cool!
Nowhere did it say in app only before purchasing or I would not have done it. I bought tickets through Vivid Seats years ago without any problem so did not expect a problem this time. I think you should seriously give me a refund or free tickets for just having to deal with this kind of nonsense! You should not assume that everyone has a phone that works or even that everyone even has a phone. I purchased this ticket on my laptop and what if I didn't even have a phone??? I would not have been able to get at all! Seriously NOT COOL!!!
Hi Lisa, thank you for sharing your experience with us. We're sorry to hear you had trouble accessing your tickets due to your phone's storage limitations—we understand how frustrating that must have been. After reviewing your order, we can confirm that it was set for email delivery, which means the tickets were sent directly to the email address provided at checkout. While using our app is an alternate way to access tickets, it's entirely optional. Additionally, we didn’t receive any prior communication regarding this issue. Had we been made aware, we would’ve been more than happy to assist or help resolve any concerns you had. Feel free to contact us if you have any other questions.

Ticket purchased, but service and system are terrible. Ticket only accessible via web url, which means must have phone service and Internet connection to enter event. Stubhub allowed v similar ticket two wks prior to be purchased and stored in phone's wallet so I wouldn't need service/connection. C'mon, Vivid Seats, how bush league can you be?! When trying to resolve, support personnel were terribly underwhelming, until I finally realized their system is just woefully inadequate.
Thanks for letting us know, John. We always appreciate the feedback. We understand the frustration that happens when you don't get your tickets right away.

Vivid Seats gave me a full refund for the tickets.
Original Review: April 20, 2025
Vivid Seats had below picture displayed for tickets to Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds concert. I purchased 6 only to find it is NOT Dave Matthews or Tim Reynolds playing. The band playing is some no name band from San Antonio playing Dave Matthews songs. This is complete fraud. And still vivid seats will not refund my money. Do NOT use their platform. They are scammers!

Never buy from this app. They said they delivered in February but I don’t have them. The theater gave us 2 tickets. Go to the venue or theater to buy. This was my birthday gift and if the theater hadn’t given to us we would have missed a good play. I’m still out 151.00!!

Excellent website very easy to use very quick transferring tickets to you. The website is awesome. I have used this website numerous times and keep going back. I highly recommend Vivid seats as it’s the best place to get tickets especially on the day of the show or even a few days before the event. When people sell tickets they are usually extra and you get to meet nice people that have the same interest in music or cultural events as you.
We loved reading your review, Richard! Thank you for sharing how easy our website is to use—it means a lot to us. We're so glad to hear you were able to meet new people at the event. We’re excited to be part of more great experiences with you in the future!
