I was sold two seats that were not together so I wasn't able to sit with my girlfriend during the show for a show I attended last night on February 1st. The tickets doesn't say seats until after you purchase And I didn't notice until we arrived so there was no way to tell they weren't together beforehand. I use the app a lot and this is the first time it has ever happened so it was a disappointing experience.
Dear Dayon,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. After reviewing your order, I noticed that the details were included in the notes section of the listing prior to your purchase, and were also provided in the order summary after checkout. We always recommend that our customers thoroughly examine the information before completing their orders to make sure they get exactly what they are looking for.

Naturally, my call was disconnected because there was a problem receiving my tickets! Where are my tickets? They never have a problem taking the payment, though! Not to mention, the service fee is astronomical! I would also like the tickets mailed to me.

I am so glad I decided to catch a Timberwolves game! I had a horrible experience with those other resell ticket guys last year.. No tickets leading up to tip-off. I'm glad to say Vivid Seats was the complete opposite. Tickets were delivered before tip-off. I got great seats at a great deal. I will definitely be using Vivid Seats in the future. I felt like I was Courtside. :)
Hi Danielle! Courtside vibes with seamless ticket delivery? That’s the way to do it! We can't wait to help you score even more epic seats in the future! Enjoy the game!

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I was booking tickets but I saw this website had the cheapest tickets for the time and show I was looking for. I selected the row and was really hoping it will give me an option which exactly side I want but it doesn’t. But we were happy with the seats. Thank you for seamless experience.
We're glad you found the best prices for your show, Kosha! Your feedback about seat selection is appreciated, and we're always looking for ways to improve. Thanks for choosing us for your ticket booking—here's to many more great experiences ahead!

This was my first time ordering tickets through Vivid and the agent who assisted me (Francis) was patience and most helpful. My hearing is not so good so I was forced to ask him to repeat much of the information. He did so without the slightest hint of frustration or hesitation. He even waited for me when I asked to consult with my co-travellers. We are very grateful for his assistance.

It has been the easiest process to get tickets to a show. After looking at other sites, the most reasonable price. I went with Vivid Seats because I have used them before and have had no issues.

Was led to believe that The Weekend was playing at a venue. I then drove 4 hours to just to find out it was a dj playing the weekend albums. Waste of time and money. The listing said the weekend and not a dj and gave very little information. Will not be using app again.
Hi Exavier! Thank you for your review. After looking into your order, we can confirm that the listing stated it was a The Weeknd-themed night rather than a concert. We always encourage our customers to contact us with any questions about the events they plan to attend to avoid any confusion. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to our Customer Service team.

Playing is fun and shows me that I don't know much of present day entertainment. But I enjoy learning. I like that tickets may be purchased right from this site and that I can look at different options and other venues. I like that I received credits and I can use them to purchase future tickets. I just need to review and learn how to do this successfully..I further enjoy just about everything else with this website and I will continue to use it in the future. Sincerely Ross **

So I got a ticket to the Dion Timmer show in Denver at the Summit for Jan 31st. When I got the confirmation number sent to my email, they said it would be transferred to me AXS, or Ticketmaster.

This is by far the worst experience we have ever had with purchasing and trying to use their tickets. Not only are there a bunch of fees and they are not willing to give you a refund, but they are not affordable!! We paid $300.00 for tickets, showed up to the venue with the tickets ready to go and they didn’t work. They will not download, transfer, or load in general. The tickets do not work at all!!!
Hi Madelynn, please accept our apologies regarding the issue you experienced with your tickets. We investigated the ticket issue with the seller as soon as you let us know about the problem, and the seller admitted there was an issue on their end when sending the tickets that caused them to not load correctly. Due to this, we reached out to you a few days ago to discuss a resolution as we value being able to make things right in the rare circumstance when something goes awry. If there's anything else you'd like to discuss with us or if you have additional questions about the resolution we provided, you can always reach out to our specialized team by sending us a direct message over social media. We hope you'll give us another chance to help you get to a fantastic live event!

My tickets arrived after the show started. Although my tickets did not get refunded, the representative, Shanesia (apologies for misspelling), was kind and understanding.

I couldn’t make my event, and it was last minute. I understand that selling them same day is potentially an issue so I wasn’t upset when I couldn’t, although that was a bummer. My dissatisfaction came from the service rep. I started a chat and asked if I wasn’t able to find the resale button due to it being same day. The response was “yes.” So I said, "Okay, is there any other options available by chance?" The response was “find another website”. I understand resale wasn’t an option, but there was no need to be rude and annoyed with a simple question. I was already bummed about not getting to go, then even more bummed about losing the money I’d spent on the tickets. I didn’t need the customer service rep to be rude on top of it.

I’m extremely disappointed by the experience I’ve had with Vivid Seats. After purchasing tickets in October, I was notified by TicketMaster that the tickets had violated their terms of service and needed be cancelled. I contacted Vivid Seats and shared the concern that week. I was told to sit tight and that the tickets were guaranteed, so there was no need to worry. I checked in monthly asking for updates, and now - 5 months later, 2 months before the now sold out show, I’ve been told tickets will not be available… It’s a shocker! I honestly feel this is a bridging loan scam.
What you described is concerning. We sincerely apologize for your experience and can only imagine how frustrating that must have been. We take the integrity of our tickets very seriously, so we want to launch a full investigation. Do you mind reaching out via social media with your order number so we can take a look?

I purchased (2) tickets to Zach Top in Denver Colorado through Vivid Seats. Tickets were sold as VIP 1st row and I was charged quite a bit more money for these VIP tickets versus the General Admission tickets that were also being sold on their site. When I received my email confirmation it also confirmed I had first row tickets. When I arrived at the venue I was advised my tickets were not VIP and that they were not First Row. Venue advised that all of their tickets sold for the event were all General Admission tickets and that they did not offer any other ticket level.
I called Vivid Seats and asked how they can sell a VIP First Row ticket when there is no such ticket available and was advised that that is how they keep track of the tickets they sell and that they assign their own rows to the GA tickets. This was 100% false advertising for the tickets and would highly recommend to make sure you know what you are getting. I am cancelling my account and will never purchase from them again.
Hi Diana,
Thank you for your feedback regarding your recent experience. We want to clarify that the ticket listing indicated General Admission, and it is standard practice to assign rows for inventory tracking purposes, even when the venue only offers GA tickets. We encourage all customers to reach out to us with any questions about listings before making a purchase to ensure they fully understand what they are buying. Your satisfaction is important to us, and we appreciate your insights.

This company is an absolute scam after allowing my information to be compromised.

I used to buy more tickets from Vivid Seats but the expense has gotten way too expensive. Vivid's fees are never disclosed until the sale is finished and it's almost as much as the price of each ticket. I am not interested in paying high prices plus fees anywhere. I was turned away from a show because we had third party tickets from your site and they were checking people off by the original buyer's name. Vivid did nothing to get us in. Vivid seats used to get things done with cheap tickets and low fees. I guess those days are long gone. Too bad too, I used to use you more but now you are always the more expensive choice.
Hi Kristen, we know that nobody enjoys fees, and we want to explain why we charge a service fee on every order. While every ticket site charges a service fee, their reasons for doing so may vary from ours. For starters, we don't keep any of the Ticket Total portion of your order. The Ticket Total is set by the person who listed them on our platform, and is what they will be paid upon completion of your order.
The service fee is what we ask in exchange for the use of our services as a secure, reliable marketplace for tickets to thousands of events. We also are here to provide you with full-service customer support every step of the way, from when you first start thinking about attending a live event, to even after the event takes place, if needed. We're transparent about the fact that we charge a service fee and how much we're asking for on your order total. This information is displayed during checkout under your total and if you're on our app or mobile website, you may need to scroll and tap on the Total section to view the full breakdown.
Your report of being turned away at an event is concerning because we guarantee that your tickets will be valid for entry. We weren't able to locate any orders from you that seemed to have any issues, so we tried to contact you by phone to determine which order it was that you encountered this for, as we take these kinds of claims seriously. We encourage you to follow up with us via DM over social media to connect with our specialized team. It's our hope that we can connect with you to determine what exactly happened here and ensure you've received the appropriate resolution for the circumstances you experienced.

Very helpful customer service agent. Took the time to check where the seats were and explained why the discount was not showing on the checkout-most helpful when I was ready to go to another ticketing site because of the frustration with not being able to access the price given on the ticket site.

I am disappointed in the service options available to help customers who have made a mistake when purchasing tickets for a wrong date. The app is not user friendly which makes selling tickets a hassle when that is the only option available when a mistake has occurred. I purchased tickets for January 26th, when I intended them for the 25th. The 100% buyer guarantee is not 100% as for the only option I was given was to sell the tickets online which I couldn't do through the Vivid app because it only allows for events 2 days out for e tickets.

After navigating multiple challenging interactions with representatives who contradicted each other and, at times, were belligerent, my call was finally transferred to Taha. Taha patiently took the time to understand what had happened. He listened and, in a complete departure from everyone else, treated me like a valued customer. It took me an hour of my time and two separate outreaches (the first one was dropped), but my interaction with Taha restored my faith in Vivid Seats. As a loyal customer, I primarily use only a couple of ticket resellers, with Vividseats being one that I’ve started to rely on more frequently. I had never been treated the way the seller operations team treated me, but Taha repaired the damage they caused. Trust and respect are the foundations of any relationship, and Taha’s actions reinforced both.
Immediately after my interaction with him, I purchased another set of tickets through Vividseats. In a world dominated by digital interactions, this serves as a great reminder that business success ultimately depends on people treating each other well. Congratulations on having Taha on your team—he is an invaluable asset to Vividseats, and I hope you ensure he remains with your organization.
It's great to hear that Taha was able to take the time and assist you thoroughly with your order. We truly value all our fans and are committed to making sure they feel heard and get the tickets they want for their special events.

I got in a car accident couple of hours before the event and tried to sell the tickets but was unable to sell them. Said I needed to sell them at least two days in advance but I had bought the tickets the day before so I was extremely disappointed with my experience. I’ve used other ticket services and was able to sell my tickets hours before the event especially with a high demand event like this one. I wasn’t expecting the car accident and ruining my plans for the day but more disappointed that there was a two day sell in advance when I had just bought the tickets the day before.
Hello, Adrian. We're very sorry to learn about your car accident on the day of the event. We can only imagine how upsetting it must have been for your plans to change so unexpectedly. We understand that our two-day advance sale policy may not have worked in your favor, and we're sorry for any frustration this may have caused. If you were unable to attend the event due to your accident, we suggest contacting Allianz customer support, as we see that you purchased insurance for your tickets.

Decided to use Vivid for my son’s first professional basketball game while in Charlotte. Being a longtime hedge fund guy also trying to perform some due diligence. I started by watching prices for a few days before taking the plunge and purchased seats in section 106. That was all good. Problem arose when the tickets didn’t turn up. The date seemed to coincide with my order date but after a day I reached out when no link. Btw, how does the customer know if there is an issue? When do we follow up? I decided to initiate a chat to quickly run into an AI bot.
After clearing that hurdle, found a person still on chat. Net result was that ticket was never sent and after trying to reach seller at 11:30 big surprise, nobody answered. I was then offered other tickets and while two rows closer, the seats were absolutely on the far side of the section. Ended up spending about an 1/2 hour to get seats that may have been worse than the originals. Seems like there is a reason. Ticketmaster perseveres.

Look at my account and you’ll see there is an investigation and I never received the tickets!! I am contacting BBB in Chicago and Consumer Affairs.

I drove 3.5 hours and stayed on the phone with Vivid 866 number to no avail and the all customer service rep were trained not to help. Just keep saying that they are escalating and leaving customers on hold just to wear them down. I bought section 114 and the scammer seller tried to send a bad link for section 104. I told the complete story to your customer service reps over and over every time I called. This has been a traumatizing experience.
I thought they were sincere about helping since y'all took my $379 and never delivered tickets but that are highly trained CSRs not to help but to mentally wear the customers down. I’m beyond frustrated and feel so so violated and Vivid Seats would not help. Your 100% guarantee is a complete joke. Of all the customer services reps that said they would help me and did not, I hope the karma bus comes around and takes $379 from each of you.

You did not even try to get me other tickets, so sad you treat a 55 year old woman this way. Shame on your management. You failed and should feel slimy.

When purchasing a Seattle Kraken ticket you are provided with a local public transportation voucher. In the past with my previous order this was not a problem. This time I was disappointed that was not provided. It cost me approximately $36 more for our experience. Both methods of seeking help (customer assistance) failed which is sad.
Hey Travis, the transportation voucher is issued directly by the Seattle Kraken through the Kraken app. If you have a regular electronic transfer, once you accept your ticket and go to access it through the Kraken/Climate Pledge Arena app, you should be able to redeem your public transportation voucher for the day of the game starting at 2 hours prior to the start of the match, and again up to 2 hours after the match ends. Your tickets were actually transferred as a wallet transfer, meaning they're not accessed through the team app, and thus don't come with the voucher. We're not affiliated with the Kraken in any capacity, and the seller had advised us that the voucher is not a separate ticket or pass they can transfer, as it's attached to your account & the ticket itself through the team's app. Make sure you read any listing notes before you place your order to see exactly how your tickets will be sent and if the voucher will be included in the amenities. We hope you were still able to take advantage of public transit for the game, but if not we hope this information helps you for the next game you plan to attend!

Jeason was courteous and helpful in getting my concert tickets. He answered all my questions. He was knowledgeable about the ticket process. Did I tell you how nice he was, very very nice.

Sold a PDF Ticket with no barcode and could not get a refund. From: https://www.vividseats.com/guarantee. "Your tickets will be valid and authentic. Our mission has always been to remove any anxiety from buying tickets online. Vivid Seats has some of the strongest relationships with licensed, certified, and professional ticket sellers in the industry. All sellers, their business practices, and track records are rigorously evaluated and we guarantee your tickets are valid and authentic or your money back." - OR YOUR MONEY BACK - don't count on it.
I was given a PDF TICKET WITH NO BARCODE and I asked for a site credit to get another ticket as this appears to be a scam ticket from a seller on the marketplace. I was on two calls for over 90 minutes, and they would not give me my money back or a site credit – just a supposedly valid ticket for the same seat this time with a bar code. Their guarantee also says on the headline - "Designed to give you peace-of-mind, safety, and security"… So the peace of mind is non-existent, I hope I scan the ticket before any potential copies are scanned, and the security – didn’t even catch a ticket without a bar code.
All I asked for was another seat ticket, a venue electronic guaranteed ticket or as site credit – and the customer service just jammed me and asked me to believe that this pdf is now valid after sending me a pdf ticket missing a barcode. The manager on the second call told me that if I would have called originally, they may have given me a refund – and I said I did three days ago – and she said "I see that, but I'm sorry" completely unprofessional and rude – I’m sorry. Sad.
Hey T, we completely understand your anxiety about the replacement ticket and that you would prefer a different seat. Sometimes sellers may have an automated process in place to fulfill orders, but even if the ticket exists the barcode may not be released immediately. It looks like in this instance the barcode either didn't load before the PDF was made, or wasn't issued at the time they first sent the ticket over to you, which led it to be absent. They were able to get the barcode to load and appear on the new PDF to ensure you can get into the event without issue.
We tried to reach out to you by phone today to discuss your experience and order and see if we can figure out a resolution together to make sure you can feel at ease and look forward to your event. We ask that you follow up with our specialized team by sending a direct message over Facebook, Instagram, or X (Twitter) so we can connect with you and do our best to turn this situation around for you.

I will not use Vivid Seats again. My family and I traveled 4+ hours to go to a college basketball game, I contacted Vivid Seats the day before we left because we had not yet received our tickets. I was guaranteed that we would have our tickets at least 2 hours before the event began. We arrived a little over an hour before the event began and were still waiting for the tickets to be transferred. I called Vivid Seats numerous times and was repeatedly told that our tickets were minutes away from being transferred.
We eventually received all but 2 tickets about 30 minutes before the event started. They required me to provide an additional email address but did not inform me that it could not be a work email address, which apparently does not work for ticket transfers. This would have been nice to know, especially considering that we were waiting in the cold with 5 children instead of watching the pregame events. Once they realized the problem we had already decided to buy the remaining 2 tickets at the box office as the event was starting. The tickets did finally arrive but they arrived AFTER the event started and after we bought additional tickets. We were late to the event. I spent over an hour on the phone, in the cold, with Vivid Seats, and had to pay for additional tickets. Vivid Seats would not issue any sort of compensation for any of this.

I had a great experience at the Knicks game on MLK day. Tickets arrived as described in the confirmation email. Seats were good, overall a wonderful experience. Also, I got a parking pass via Vivid Seats and that worked out well too. The Parking garage was across the street from the Garden. It was convenient to all.

Overall, it was a nerve wrecking experience. Tickets not being delivered until the last minute, so when the plan changed, I could not resell the tickets. Even after receiving the tickets, sometimes I could not view the ticket. Customer service was hard to reach because apparently my phone number was not 'on file' after I asked customer rep to update my info. Overall it worked out, but I never felt 'secure' with the ownership of the tickets until the moment after I scanned them at the venue. I would try to avoid using this app/site for tickets in the future.

I purchased a parking pass and it wasn’t delivered in time. I was unable to use it and had to pay for parking at another location and pay for it. I requested a refund and was denied. Displeased with having to pay for parking twice. Vivid seats should refund me.
Thank you for sharing your feedback, Etney. After reviewing your order, we noticed that you placed your order for the parking pass just minutes before the event began, and the pass was delivered 19 minutes after your purchase. As a ticket marketplace, we don’t generate tickets or passes like a box office, which means there can be delays in delivery, especially for last-minute purchases. We strongly encourage our customers to buy tickets and parking passes well in advance to avoid any potential issues. If you have any further questions regarding this process, feel free to reach out.

Our concert ticket purchase was great. However, the secondary offer they provided for parking at the event was a bit confusing and then, we did not get the parking lot link until 8:14 PM, the night of the event! The event started at 7:30 pm. We had arrived at 5:30 since we had 6 PM dinner reservations on site, and no link to get into the orange lot to park. All I had for proof was the order number from my confirmation page. The lot attendant needed the actual scan link.

I always use Vivid, I had the tickets the day before, and then when I got to the game they would not show up. The box office said they had been having trouble all day with vivid. The seller did not embed the link properly and so I ended up having to buy tickets on Ticketmaster instead after the game was halfway over. Is there a way to get a refund? I spent $129 and it went to waste because the seller did not do what they were supposed to. Then when we called, the seller sent it correctly after we had already purchased new tickets and the game was halfway done.

I ordered tickets through Vividseats for a Rochester Americans vs. Syracuse Crunch AHL hockey game in Syracuse, NY. We live in Niagara Falls, three hours away. When we got to the game, early thank God, and went to the app there were no tickets available on the app itself. Other secondary market ticket services I use have the tickets available on their app. Instead, Vividseats did not give me actual access to my tickets directly through my app but instead sent the tickets through Ticketmaster, the original vendor of the Crunch tickets. Bigger problem, Vividseats never actually sent the tickets to Ticketmaster. I had to jump through hoops and end up going into the game more than 20 minutes after game time and with two goals already having been scored before we got my tickets.
The ONLY reason I give a score of 2 instead of negative 3 is that I was actually able to get to a human being to stash to at Vividseats to help me with the problem. She was able to get Ticketmaster to "reissue" the seats I had paid for several days ahead of time. So, 4/5s of a game is better than not being able to go to a game at all, for that game was fully sold out. So if the rep had not done that (thank you young lady) we would have travelled 3 hours to either only go to dinner or to buy tickets twice (but his time without all four being next to each other). I don't know about you but I like to both only pay for tickets once and sit next to the people I go to a game with. The tiny amount of savings in the cost of the tickets from buying them directly through Ticketmaster was not worth anywhere close to the hassle and frustration I had to go through let alone the ribbing I got from my guests.
Lessons learned: 1. If I am going to an event closer to my home, check the seating online and if there are seats available then don't waste my time buying the tickets online at all. Bonus earned is that I don't have to pay the incredibly exorbitant service fees associated with purchasing tickets online that added the raining of an additional 1/3 of the price of the original ticket on top of the cost of the original ticket. No instead, I will go to the window at the event to buy my tickets and pay no service fees whatsoever. Nor will have have to worry about having to pay for tickets twice.
2. Even if I must buy tickets online, then I will only buy the tickets directly through the website of the event ticket service unless there are significant Savings made available to me, including all fees. So if I don't save 20% or more on the total purchase price for the full package of tickets I am purchasing then I will just keep my life simple and use a system that the people at the ticket office at the stadium I am going to can track down my tickets if there is a problem.
Thank you to Vividseats for these lessons so I will never waste my time nor money on an online third party ticket service again unless I absolutely have to and benefit significantly from when I do so. Thank you very much. A sincere thanks to the woman in the ticket office at the Syracuse stadium who was exceedingly patient and helpful. I probably would've been a very unpleasant person had she not been so courteous. And again, I want to make it clear that I appreciate the courteous assistance of the agent for Vividseats who made the event eventually actually happen for us. My apologies if I have not picked up all my typos. Knowing me and my bad eyes looking at my phone while I write this, there are likely several.
Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback—we really appreciate it! You’re absolutely right— no one should have to jump through hoops to get into a game. We understand how stressful that must have been, especially after traveling three hours to be there.
We’re glad to hear our representative was able to assist and get you into the game, even if it meant missing the opening minutes (and unfortunately, a couple of goals). We’re also thrilled that both our agent and the stadium staff were courteous and helpful—they deserve a big assist for making sure you still got to enjoy the majority of the game with your group.
Anthony, your feedback is incredibly valuable, and we’ll be using it to improve and ensure smoother experiences in the future. We hope you'll consider giving us another chance down the road to show you how seamless it can be.

This feedback is for Laura C - she was hands down the best sales rep I have ever spoken to! I was having issues purchasing tickets online and in the app for an upcoming sporting event so I figured I would call to see if I could purchase over the phone. I was connected with Laura C. who was very friendly, personable and helpful! She asked me about being a fan, made the purchasing process extremely easy, and was overall a joy to speak to! She was able to assist me in purchasing my tickets and explained very clearly the process on how to access my tickets once confirmed. This was my first time purchasing tickets through Vivid Seats, and it certainly won’t be my last! I wish I could speak to Laura every time I need to purchase tickets - she was absolutely outstanding!

I wanted to use store credit to purchase tickets to a sporting event yet I could not find a place on their website to use the code that was given to me. So I called and my customer service representative Hannyfaith helped me to purchase them. She was very friendly and informative with every aspect of the game tickets and venue. Excellent job and I greatly appreciate Hannyfaith and VividSeats.

I made a mistake purchasing my tickets and only purchased 1 instead of 2. Richard and Sam both did an excellent job fixing my error and helping me purchase 2 tickets next To each other. They gave me a credit for the single ticket I purchased and they applied it to the purchase of the 2 tickets so there was no extra costs to me.

Unfortunately y’all will let anyone sell tickets to an event and allow them to not deliver them causing undue expenses to fans that took off work paid for travel plans and ultimately didn’t revive the tickets and therefore were not able to attend the event that we invested the time and money to attend. Y’all’s response was an merit less apology that solved no issue. The point of selling tickets to the public is to a tually let them receive the tickets to attend the event that was paid for plus the fees y’all charge.
This company has a lack of accountability and I guess doesn’t seem to try and fix these issues. If they did they would reimburse me for the hindered of dollars it took to travel to this venue and unfortunately never received the tickets paid for to gain access. It would be nice to hear from someone reaching out to me to reimburse me for these travel expenses that they caused me to spend thinking we were actually going to be able to gain access with the tickets that were purchased. I hope they do the right thing because this is. It how you run a business unfortunately I’m sure I will not hear from anyone other than an apology that costs them nothing to say. The below shot was taken the next day at 11:00 and was never delivered.

Vivid Seats is a downloaded app on my phone, and we use it for various concerts or entertainment venues. I use them two to three times a year. The app is very user-friendly. I have utilized the reward system and that's the reason they keep getting my business. It's good. I use it to apply towards concerts for my wife or my family. Vivid's reward system is highly beneficial as compared to its competitors.

Vivid Seats is a SCAM!! I bought tickets marked "FANTASTIC" and they turned out to be the same tickets, that was not fantastic, I could have purchased directly on Event Site and NOT paid a $30 Service Fee per ticket. DO NOT EVER BUY AN EVENT TICKET WHERE YOU CAN NOT SEE SECTION, ROW, SEAT #.
Hey Chris, we're sad to hear that you were disappointed with the seats you purchased. To clarify, the tag you're referring to where this listing was marked as "fantastic" is intended to describe the value of the deal based on the price, availability of tickets, and demand for tickets and that specific section & row based on our past purchase data for the same venue. It is not intended to describe the quality of the view, and the photos we have of approximate views are just that - approximate. Views from the same seat across different events can be vastly different depending on the stage setup, type of performance, and subjective opinion. We require sellers to disclose if the venue has marked any tickets or seats as obstructed or limited view, however. We apologize for any misunderstanding, and we hope that this information helps to clarify the situation and explain our intent.

Excellent app for tickets. The prices are the best and fair. They even offer parking arrangements for the event. Another great thing about Vivid is the security encryption so your tickets do not get picked off. We had a great time thanks to Vivid Seats. I checked other sites to see if the tickets were cheaper and they weren't. Get Vivid Seats app for best prices and service for any event. Highly recommend it.

It was not clear when purchasing the tickets all the steps that would be required on my part to actually receive the purchased tickets. I was very irritated by subsequent emails advising I might get additional emails from various sources and need to download apps and create accounts and passwords. There was a time lag between my purchase and the actual receipt of the tickets that was slightly longer than indicated. In the end I got my tickets but I will not use your service again. I'm also irritated by the subsequent solicitations trying to sell me a parking space 12 miles from the event's location.
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us. As a ticket marketplace, we facilitate the resale of tickets by sellers on our platform. While prices are set by the sellers, we strive to offer the most competitive prices available.
Since we are a marketplace, we don’t own the inventory, and tickets will be transferred via the event’s official ticket platform. We aim to streamline the process and educate our fans on when to expect their tickets.
