    Easy to navigate. I use this app for everything I need. Basketball concert Hockey tickets. I even buy parking tickets and gifts for everyone I love and care for. There is nothing you can't do with this app. Just open it and search up anything and everything.

    Very easy to manipulate the site to find the event we were looking for. We will definitely continue to use Vivid Seats for tickets. We have purchased theater tickets and concert tickets and have never been disappointed in our Vivid Seats experience.

    I love Vivid, but it was annoying that my first 2 selections were listed but not actually available. I had to scramble to choose a listing. It would be nice if the listings were arranged by row so all listings at $60 dollars starting with row 1 moving up so it’s easier to choose.

    You don’t make this easy…. I want to just be able to accept my tickets, transfer them if I want, and have a nice, easy PDF savable receipt. I have to hunt down allll of these things. Taking me way too long. I’ll remember not to use Vivid Seats again unless the price is significantly better

    Great choices. Nothing against them. I just hate when prices go up for 1 ticket (that’s everywhere) and being unable to see which specific seats I’m picking. Can’t wait to start booking this year. Why not Vivid.

    I bought two tickets last night to a college basketball game and forwarded them to my son through his phone number and I got an email confirmation saying that they had been transferred to him, but somehow he never got them in his text messages like he was supposed to. So I’m not sure this was an issue on your end or his end, I’m really not sure but he never got the tickets.

    I have twice tried to purchase tickets for comedy shows in Boston. Both times, the tickets sold out from the venue in under a minute. HOWEVER- they claim to be 'available' on Vivid Seats for triple or more the venue price. I am deeply saddened that this is the practice we accept and that people are supporting third-party resellers to bulk purchase blocks. The venue claims it has no knowledge of who/what purchases tickets once they go live, and I am certain neither the venue nor the artists benefit from these fraudulent sales practices. Seeing that I could/would spend $618 per ticket [if purchased through VIvid Seats] to see a show that would actually cost $70 per ticket makes my soul weep (and probably vomit a little, too).

    If I could make it a 0, I would. I purchased tickets for a concert over a year ago for 241 dollars and received no refund. I got to the gate and they never worked! I have been checking in consecutively and contacting constantly to no avail. I am looking to continue escalating this to the FTC and BBB. I have attached some of the many numerous calls, the tickets I had to repurchase, and etc. If I am not refunded I will continue to escalate this. I had to repurchase tickets at the gate! This is ridiculous and I will never recommend nor buy tickets from your company again.

    The things this app offers is more than other ticketing apps. The game center is intuitive and can give great rewards and tickets are cheaper here than on other sites. The app overall is easy to use and understand and is mostly a seamless experience outside of the occasional lag that I've experienced with the map at times (mainly when I'm off of Wi-Fi). Overall, this is my go-to ticketing app and I doubt that'll change.

    I will never use Vivid Seats again - this site is a scam. ABSOLUTE FRAUD!! They price-scalped us on tickets for a Broadway show - these tickets were TEN times the normal price. The tickets never came despite getting an email saying they were on the way. When we called to ask, they kept saying that we will get them soon. This was a lie. They sold us “ghost tickets” - aka they never existed. THREE customer service representatives lied to us. No one admitted the truth until 2 HOURS before the show. Then all of the showtimes were sold out, and we couldn’t even see the show. It was a complete disaster - the lack of professionalism and accountability was amazing. The only thing they helped us with is a refund… after spending 15 hours figuring out what happened. It ruined our day.

    Vivid is my go to for tickets to sporting events and concerts. I’ve bought tickets from other resale apps a couple of times, usually when the seat location I’d like is not offered on Vivid for some reason, but that is rare. Vivid consistently has lower prices and the app is seamless. Only once did an issue occur, but a call to headquarters rectified the problem during the course of the phone call.

    I feel the Game Center is such a nice way to play when you’re bored and still feel accomplished. It brings together simple games that don’t demand too much time, yet they keep your mind engaged and entertained. I like how you can jump in for a few minutes, challenge yourself, and walk away feeling like you achieved something. Winning points, unlocking achievements, and seeing progress adds excitement without pressure.

    Game Center also connects you with friends, which makes friendly competition fun and motivating. Even when you lose, it encourages you to try again and improve. It’s relaxing, easy to use, and perfect for short breaks during the day. Instead of endlessly scrolling on your phone, playing a quick game feels more rewarding. Overall, Game Center turns boredom into enjoyment and gives you a chance to win, learn, and have fun at the same time for everyone everywhere, anytime today.
