    I purchased the tickets to take other people with me to a Panthers game. All of the transaction was great but it was way too difficult to share the tickets with the other two people for them to either get in by themselves or make sure they have a ticket if asked.

    This was the first time I made a long purchase for college football tickets and the experience was pretty good. I didn’t understand the process as it was my first time therefore, it teared out to be a little bit cumbersome. Nevertheless, the tickets was delivered to my email and everything went well.

    This was the third or fourth time this year I had trouble getting what I ordered. The seller did not get me the ticket I ordered yesterday until he was contacted to resend them.

    Hey Laurence, we can see how from your perspective, you might feel that this is a pattern rather than isolated incidents. We looked at your order history and were able to confirm that in all cases where you encountered some difficulty with accessing your tickets, we stepped in to make sure these issues were resolved promptly and appropriately. It's our job to make sure that if and when any concerns arise, we're here to address them with you.

    We'd love to discuss your experience in more detail since it's clear that even though we did resolve the issue with your most recent order and you were able to find your tickets in time for the game, that just solving the problem itself was not enough to restore your confidence in us. We'd like to learn more about what we can do moving forward to improve your experience, especially as you're an avid user of Vivid Seats. Please follow up with our specialized team by sending us a direct message over Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter, or by giving us a call.

    Hi Tim, we get why you would feel frustrated by the inconvenience that resulted from you experiencing some connection issues when trying to get in touch with our customer service team for assistance. Our records show that your tickets were transferred to you two days before the event, and in some cases there is no invite email sent by the venue for you to accept your tickets because it isn't needed to access them. Instead, you'll need to log into the venue's account manager portal to access your tickets. We're here to help you find your tickets whenever you're having some trouble locating them, and we're glad you reached out to us to let us know you needed that help. We hope you enjoyed your time at the game and the rest of your vacation, and in the future if you ever get a notice that your tickets were transferred but don't see your tickets, we recommend searching Google for the venue's name followed by "account manager" to see if you're able to find the portal and log in or register.

    I purchased tickets in a specific section of the stadium and those were not the tickets that were sent to me. When I called customer service they said the tickets I received were "better" than the ones I originally chose. How can Vivid Seats decide what they think is a better seat and not even ask the person buying the tickets if they want to move sections? The new section was 3 away from the one I wanted to be in and we were only one row closer. That's not a better seat in my opinion. And if I wanted to be in that new section, I would have purchased tickets there originally. Will not be using vividseats again.

    Response from Vivid Seats

    Hey Angela, the tickets you purchased were listed as Seat Saver tickets. For these listings, it's common that you may receive tickets in a different section and row than you selected. This is because you're purchasing tickets in a given tier or range of sections depending on the layout of the venue, and so long as the view is considered equivalent and you're not being moved too far forward or being downgraded (moved back in rows or to a worse tier), then the seller can provide you any adjacent seats within reason. We mention this so you know what to expect from Seat Saver listings in case you prefer not to purchase these kinds of tickets again, as these listings are more for folks who want to lock in a good price and aren't particular about their exact seating location.

    Hey Jesse, we acknowledge that you felt misled by the approximated view photos you saw when browsing for tickets to the game. All of the photos on our site are approximate views as we may only have one photo per section, or we may need to reuse the same photo for adjacent sections if we're lacking one. The photo in question clearly shows many rows from that point of view down to the field, and the field is empty, so it is not considered to be indicative of what your view would be like during an actual game, nor is it a view of the first row of that section. We encourage you to utilize any available resources both on and off our site to compare your views from different parts of the stadium before you place your order.

    We have spent almost $7k on pair of tickets for Taylor Swift. I understand the price is irrelevant, however I purchased seats in the Td Summit Box and they were reserved seats with seat# assigned. However, when we went in the Box we were only given the option of standing. If I was aware that these were standing seats only, I would have purchased another pair. This caused us terrible inconvenience, which I shared with your agent. No resolution was reached. Would appreciate if you can look into this for me.

    Thank you for your feedback! At Vivid Seats, we truly value all our customers and take reviews very seriously. We carefully review each one to ensure that our team and sellers maintain the highest standards.

    Upon looking into your order, we see that the tickets were listed as Row GA in the General Admission section of the Summit Suite. Please note that General Admission (GA) and Standing Room Only (SRO) tickets are typically standing-room-only tickets. These tickets do not come with an assigned seat and may require standing during the event. The seat numbers listed on GA tickets are used for inventory purposes only.

    Unfortunately, we are unable to offer a refund in this case as the ticket details were accurately represented in the listing. We encourage you to reach out to us directly with any questions before making a purchase, and we’re always happy to assist you with understanding the ticket details. If you have any further concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

    Literally worked when I checked at dinner… I went to the venue and the look to my tickets…which were actually on Ticketmaster (makes no sense) was not functional. I had to go to the box office and have them pull the info… They also couldn’t access the digital version of the tickets and had to hand-write us two vouchers!

    Vivid seats is one of the better tickets sites to use. I hate the fees added on with each ticket but Vivid seats' fees are still lower than most. I also don’t like how I don’t get rewards for every ticket I buy. For instance, I bought five tickets to the Georgia-Ole Miss game but did not receive any reward stamps for this game. The only thing I could think of to advance the site is to be more consistent with the reward process and to find a way to lower ticket fees.

    I was initially worried that the tickets I purchased might be fake, wouldn’t transfer properly, or something else would go wrong. However, I’m happy to report that everything went smoothly! The transfer was seamless, and the tickets worked perfectly when I needed them. That peace of mind was a huge relief after some initial apprehension about the process.

    I decided to use Vivid Seats for this purchase because they market themselves as offering “actual pricing,” which I found appealing. I was drawn to the idea of upfront transparency in costs, as it’s always frustrating to encounter hidden fees during checkout. However, I quickly realized that the promise of “actual pricing” wasn’t entirely accurate. There was, in fact, an extra charge added to my purchase that wasn’t clearly indicated when I first started the process. This felt misleading and was a bit of a letdown.

    While I’m glad everything worked out with the tickets, I really wish the pricing had been fully transparent from the start. It’s not that I wouldn’t have been willing to pay the extra fee; I just want to know upfront what I’m committing to. Hidden fees or unexpected charges create a negative experience and make me question whether I’d use the platform again in the future. Companies like Vivid Seats should aim to eliminate these surprises and provide a clear breakdown of costs before customers make their final decision. In a competitive ticket resale market, full transparency could go a long way in earning and retaining customer trust.

    Hey Alec, we just wanted to provide some clarification about where you can find the fees and why your tickets were delivered over Ticketmaster. On our app, you can view the full order total and price breakdown during checkout. Depending on your screen's size and the resolution scale of your apps, you may need to scroll down to view all of the information on the checkout page. Tapping on the Total will bring you to the pricing details which shows the breakdown of your order.

    As for the delivery, sometimes venues issue some or all of their tickets exclusively through Ticketmaster or a Ticketmaster-based website. It's vital that we ensure your tickets are authentic and remain valid for entry, so in some cases they have to be delivered through Ticketmaster rather than directly through the Vivid Seats app. This is just one of the many ways that tickets can be delivered, as some tickets will be sent through other third party services depending on the specific venue and event.

    Jonathon, we appreciate you taking a few moments of your time to leave us a review with your honest thoughts and feedback. We'd like to clarify that we did not replace these tickets on your behalf, and instead the seller provided you with seats two rows closer to the rink than you originally selected. Our Buyer Guarantee does mention commensurate replacements if there is an issue with your order or original tickets, but this was a different situation. Sometimes sellers mis-count their available tickets or perhaps the same set sold on two different platforms, so they need to provide replacement seats. So long as the new set of tickets are not too far from the original location you selected when you placed your order, and as long as they're not further away from the action or a substantially worse view, we allow sellers to provide small upgrades to your seating location at their discretion.

    However, it seems that this wasn't in line with your expectations, and we'd like to connect with you to better understand your perspective. We reached out by phone and left you a voicemail, and we'd greatly appreciate it if you followed up with us via direct message over Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter to speak with our specialized team.

    Vivid Seats is a scam. Do NOT use Vivid Seats to purchase tickets, especially if you are traveling a significant distance, purchasing hotel rooms, paying for parking or otherwise spending money in addition to your ticket purchase to attend an event. Read the fine print. Vivid sells tickets that they do not actually have on hand. Their seller is only required to deliver the tickets to Vivid 2 hours prior to the start of the event. If the seller fails to deliver and Vivid can’t replace the tickets, they only refund the amount you paid them.

    Airline tickets, hotel rooms, parking, hideous commutes across town, and the disappointment and embarrassment when you tell your guests that you actually won’t be attending the once-in-a-lifetime event you had planned on, although you are standing outside the venue—these are all exclusively on you. I purchased tickets to a comedy show 3 weeks in advance, called the morning of the event to inquire about delivery of the tickets, was told that they would be delivered or replacement tickets would be sent 2 hours before the event, called again two hours before the event, both calls being routed through a phone tree and chat bots for 20 minutes before being disconnected. I eventually reached a human, only to be told that no tickets were available and that my money would be refunded.

    When I expressed my displeasure at the inconvenience and the fact that my guests and I had already paid $60 for parking, I was told that a credit of $50 would be made to my account. Time will tell if the refund and credit will be made, but I highly doubt that I will ever use Vivid again. I wonder whether Vivid's actual business is taking ticket orders and money in advance, then trying to buy the tickets at a low price from desperate sellers very close to the actual event, then slow-walking a refund of the money they've collected if they can't fulfill the order, while collecting interest on the money advanced by the buyer.

We regret the disappointment and inconvenience you experienced, and we understand how frustrating it must have been, especially given the time, effort, and expenses you invested in planning for this event for your family. Our ticket platform relies on sellers to fulfill orders, and unfortunately, in this rare instance, the seller let us all down at the last minute. We made every effort to find a replacement but were unable to secure one. While we refunded your purchase immediately, we understand that doesn’t make up for the other costs or the special memories you hoped to create.

    I purchased the tickets for the Pittsburgh Steelers versus Kansas City Chiefs from my phone for my father since I'm a little more technologically-savvy. It was smooth. It's a little annoying when Vivid Seats is not transparent with the fees but it's not unique to them. If that was included in the price of the tickets rather than tacked on once you hit confirm, that would be fair. The tickets were expensive and we knew that. No matter where we bought them, they would be. But we like how Vivid Seats have rewards points where you at least get a little bit of cashback that you can use towards future tickets. It helps a little bit in getting some of the price back.

    The issue has been resolved and I received my tickets.

    Original Review: Nov. 19, 2024

    When I received the link to get my tickets, it said something went wrong and I was unable to access them. I contacted Vivid Seats, where the only way to speak to a representative was via their live chat (I was never able to reach a person on the phone). I spent over 4+ hours on 3 separate live chats where I was sent numerous links to access tickets which did not work. I was told to contact Ticketmaster, but to not disclose that I had used Vivid Seats to purchase tickets or they would send me back to them. I contacted Ticketmaster who confirmed that I had not received the tickets and that the seller would need to call them to resolve. I contacted Vivid Seats again via live chat, spent an additional 1.5 hours getting nowhere.

    I communicated to the representative that Ticketmaster needed the seller to contact them to resolve issue. The representative told me that the seller would not be calling and they had provided proof tickets were received. At this time I have not received my tickets, but learned to not ever use Vivid Seats again. I will be disputing this transaction with my bank and writing this review. Buyer beware when using Vivid Seats!!

    I purchased seats from VividSeats in the beginning of October. When I clicked on the link in the transaction to accept the tickets, VividSeats had cancelled the transaction. I have been fighting with VividSeats for a refund for a transaction THEY cancelled for over a month now and they refuse. I have only received one call from the company from a woman who claimed I had to remove the dispute from the credit charge card for them to process a refund. DO NOT EVER DO THIS. My bank informed me that doing this will forfeit my ability to dispute the charge again, and they are very familiar with VividSeats' predatory practices and that this is a common scam for them to try to trick people into voluntarily forfeiting what little leverage consumers have against predatory companies like this.

    Suggest everyone not to buy tickets on Vivid Seats. They are fraud! After paying around $100 extra over and above the market price for each ticket they made us wait for 2 hours at the box office and delivered tickets just 5 mins before the start of the concert and that too after repeated calls and follow-ups. The ordeal did not end there. They delivered us the wrong tickets and we had to sit way up at the arena despite having paid premium price for the tickets. It was our first Don Tolliver concert. The whole mood for the concert was spoiled. The least Vivid Seats can do now is refund our money - for the trauma they made us face and how they spoiled the concert for us.

Asked to escalate to a manager and was told to hold. Was then told the "escalation team" said no refund. When I asked a third time to talk to a manager, the customer service representative said "I will have to hang up on you now." I was never rude or mad and was hung up on! Will never use them again.

    DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. I bought Noah Kahan tickets at Fenway 8 or 9 months in advance and was looking forward to it for the better part of a year. The tickets were sent to me the day before which is already nerve wracking. I left work early, took the train to the city, and walked to Fenway only to be denied entry. At first, I was told I just needed to download the tickets in the MLB app whereas I had it in the Vivid Seats app. They told me to walk to the ticket booth on the other side of the park and they could help me. I was annoyed but figured it would be no big deal.

    Mt Joy was opening and they are one of my favorites so I was anxious to get it before their set started. So, I walked to the ticket booth and they instructed me on how to get the ticket in my MLB app, except when I did what they said, there was no ticket. They then told me I had to call Vivid Seats and have them send the ticket to my ballpark app. So, I called and waited on hold while also texting w someone over the app.

    Meanwhile, three other groups arrived and were having the exact same problem w their Vivid Seats tickets. Anyway, I finally was able to get through to someone but they just kept sending me the same incorrect ticket in the vivid seats app. At the same time, I was missing Mt Joy's set. I spent over an hour talking to customer service and getting sent further up the chain. I was then missing Noah's set as well.

    I kept getting sent further up the chain and being sent the same wrong ticket over and over. Then I was sent to someone who seemed to be taking a report of the incident instead of trying to help resolve it. When I asked what she was gonna do to fix it, it was then, an hour and a half into the call, they told me for the first time there was nothing they could do and maybe they could refund me depending on the information I give them. That was infuriating as I had spent the last 1.5 hours still holding out hope that I would see some of the show, no one told me what was happening and just starting interrogating me, and by the way I had already provided this info to multiple employees.

    If I had been told I wasn't getting into the show, I could've taken the T to the train station and taken the train home. Because they didn't tell me, I had to scramble to make the train, paying for the T to the train station only to miss it by 5 mins and then pay for an Uber to take me home so I didn't have to sit at the train station and wait 3 hours for the next one. I was then told that I would be sent an incident report questionnaire via email in the next few days and I only had a couple days to fill it out and request a refund. Seriously?? So, I check my email every day until I get it and fill out this lengthy questionnaire which is again asking the same info I've provided to at least 4 different employees at this point. So, I submit the questionnaire and have I received any response? Nope. Haven't denied or approved the request and it's been 4 months. I'm disputing it with my credit card but just warning you not to ever use this company.

    After getting off the phone with Destiny just now, here is my synopsis: Bought two tickets to and April Deftones show on Monday for a someone's daughter as a surprise gift. Turns out teenagers like to go to shows with a full on army of their circle of friends and all sit together...who knew? Either way, after realizing these tickets were no longer to anyone's advantage, I started researching how to resell these things on your website (which I don't know the first clue about how to do) and then decided to ultimately concede and call your help line. Enter Destiny.

    From the get go, she was warm, courteous and informative. She said she would look into a full refund, since the tickets were purchased so recently, and then even took a callback number. I couldn't even start cooking my breakfast (just got out of working my overnight shift in a Casino in Boston) when I got a call back from Destiny, giving me the truly fantastic news that a full refund was being initiated! Destiny for President. I stand by this. Thank you to everyone over there at Vivid Seats for your professionalism and execution! Have a wonderful day, and don't ever buy only single pair of tickets for teenagers.

    Cheers,

    I recently had an issue with tickets I purchased that never arrived from the seller. Joy took over my case and made the entire refund process easy and stress-free. She stayed on top of the situation, keeping me informed each step of the way and following up with the right team to ensure everything was handled correctly. Her dedication and commitment to solving my problem really stood out, and I felt like she genuinely cared about resolving my issue. She took a personal approach, making me feel like more than just another customer. Thanks to her efforts, I received my refund without any hassle. Joy’s customer service was outstanding, and her professionalism gave me peace of mind. It's rare to find someone as attentive and proactive in customer service as Joy. I appreciate her hard work and highly recommend her for anyone who needs assistance with ticket issues. She truly turned a frustrating situation around, and I’m grateful for her help.

    Where do I even start. My experience with vivid seats was absolutely horrible. I have used Vivid Seats in the past, but because of this, I'm never using it again. I purchased Billie Eilish tickets on April 30th, 2024, concert was on November 3rd that same year. I was told the tickets wouldn't be sent to me until Nov. 1st because the direct purchase websites (venue and/or Ticketmaster) don't send the tickets to the seller until much later. I didn't think anything of it since I had used vivid seats in the past with no issues. Fast forward to Nov 1st, I had not received any email. I decided to call the customer service line since I had spent nearly $2000 for 4 tickets and was not risking on losing that money. The lady essentially told me to be patient and that she was sure the seller was working on it, as well as to trust their '100% Customer Satisfaction Guarantee'.

    I had also asked that in the hypothetical situation, if I didn't receive my tickets that day, what was I to do. She repeated the same thing over and over again (customer satisfaction thing) so I just thanked her and hung up. The customer guarantee didn't make me feel any better, but there wasn't much I could do but wait. I flew to Atlanta from Texas for this concert, so that's more money being spent there. When I checked my email again on Nov. 2nd, I had still not received my tickets. At this point, I was already stressing out because the concert was in less than 24 hours and I had no way of entering the venue. So I called again, and the same lady from the previous day answered the phone. I explained to her that I still had not received my tickets and that I was getting worried. She told me she would contact the seller for me and put me on hold for the time being.

    Once she returned, she told me that she did in fact get in contact with the seller and the seller told her that they had sent me the tickets already, which wasn't true. I had checked all 3 of my emails from top to bottom, spam and archived included. The lady said she would make the seller aware and told me to wait until the end of the day, if the seller had still not sent my tickets, I was to call back. I checked my email later that night, and still no tickets, so I called back. Same lady answered the phone, she knew me by name at this point. She contacted the seller again but no response, and again told me to be patient. I was getting frustrated at this point since the concert was the very next day, and since I had general admission tickets, I needed to line up early (9am) showing my ticket to get a wristband. I wake up the next morning with still no tickets, so I called again the moment it struck 9am since that's when they opened.

    A different person answered this time, but with the same accent (a foreign accent) most likely meaning the call center was in a different country. I explained to him the whole story and he said he'd try contacting the seller again. No response. He told me he could get me replacement tickets, the same type I had, but I would need to wait 2 hours because I needed to give the seller a 'grace period'. As if I hadn't already given them a 2 day long one. I refused and told him I needed them at that moment because I was already in the line to get my wristband. He kept repeating the grace period thing over and over, and so I snapped because of all the excuses I had been given these past 2 days, and ended up asking for a supervisor. He first told me that he 'didn't have one', but when I kept pushing and refusing to hang up until I received my tickets, he finally transferred me to a supervisor.

    (He had insisted I hang up and wait for the seller to send me my tickets or to wait the 2 hour grace period.) Once I was transferred, I noticed the lady had an American accent, so the 'higher ups' were located in the states. Ironic. I explained everything to her, including the line to claim the wristbands. She was sympathetic and actually explained to me why I had to wait those 2 hours. (It was a contract they had with the seller, they could get into legal trouble if breached, which I understood) But, she said she would make some calls to try and move up those 2 hours because of the line. She confirmed 2 of my emails, and 2 phone numbers were put on file to make sure she could contact me. The bare minimum. She explained I had to hang up but that she would call me back once she had made those calls. And she did just that. It only took her about an hour to return my call.

    She said she had emailed me the 4 replacement tickets and asked me to check my email to confirm if I had received them all, and I did. I thanked her profusely, she was the most help I had gotten within that weekend, and the only person who gave me hope that something was being done. She actually did her job, the bare minimum, compared to the other 2 customer service employees that I got. I had also been talking with another person with the same exact issue, for the same exact concert, who also purchased from vivid seats.

    They did end up getting their tickets thankfully, but they also had to push to get a supervisor. Overall, the experience was so stressful and infuriating, and the reason I'm giving an extra star was because of that supervisor. Was it worth it to go through all of this just to go to the concert? For me, most definitely since I've been a fan of Billie since 2017-18, but if this was for someone else? Definitely not. Avoid this website at all costs.

    Alejandra,

    We deeply regret that your experience with us was so stressful and frustrating, especially given the significant amount of time, money, and effort you invested in securing tickets to see Billie Eilish. We understand how much this concert meant to you, and it’s clear that the delays and lack of communication were far below the level of service you should have received.

    It’s disappointing to hear that the customer service you encountered didn’t provide the level of support and reassurance you needed throughout the process, and we can only imagine how stressful it must have been, especially with the concert date fast approaching. While we’re glad that our supervisor was able to help resolve the issue in the end, we recognize that your experience up to that point was not acceptable. Your feedback is invaluable, and we are committed to improving our processes to prevent situations like this from happening in the future.

    We want to sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and confusion, and we appreciate your patience throughout the ordeal. We're grateful you were ultimately able to attend the concert, and we hope your next experience with us—if you choose to give us another chance—is a much smoother and more positive one!

    Recently purchased 2 tickets for Tyler, the Creator at the United Center in Chicago on 6/30/25. Specifically selected Section 308 but when the tickets were transferred to me by the Vivid Seats seller, they were for Section 304. If I wanted that section I would have chosen it in the first place. I realize that the "fine print" says the tickets will be "comparable" but those are 2 very different sections at the United Center. When I inquired with customer service, I was told the tickets that I received were an "upgrade" per the fine print on their Seat Savers policy. If the seats I received were 1 section over on either side of the one I chose, then perhaps they would indeed be "comparable" but 4 sections away is definitely not "comparable." Nor is it an "upgrade."

    Ultimately, 2 tickets purchased with VividSeats have cost me more than what I would have paid elsewhere for the seats I ended up with after the fact. Very, very disappointed with this "middle man" ticket broker. I'm a first time and last time customer with VividSeats and will strongly advise friends and family to buy their tickets elsewhere. [Note: if you use the chat feature be sure to copy and paste the chat because you will not receive an option to save/print when the chat ends, even though you'll be told that you can. I also waited 6 days for an email re: my initial inquiry on this issue but one never came.]

    I've been using Vivid Seats for a couple years, and I always get my tickets when I buy it from them. We've bought 10 or 15 events through them, and they've given us money off some seats. We tried to buy seats a couple weeks ago for another game we went to from another provider, but they were unable to deliver the seats, so we used Vivid Seats again. The confirmation is quick. It just depends on when the event is, how far out we buy them. Sometimes, the universities don't release the tickets right away. For college football games, they won't release them until a week or two before the game. Then you get the tickets pretty quickly.

I paid over $1000 for two tickets and received a location that literally cost a fraction of that. I tried without avail to work with them directly, but repeatedly received canned, lengthy answers that went in circles to nowhere. Vivid Seats claimed that this was a comparable location. If you have ever been in a concert, everyone understands that the front row is just that. I contacted my credit card company and they investigated my claim and refunded my money directly.

    Vivid Seats. They sold suite tickets to a basketball game that already includes a parking pass. However the tickets that were sold through vivid seats did not send a parking pass with the suite tickets. When I messaged the customer service they said they cannot do anything about it. They are selling the tickets as if it is the same exact tickets however they exclude some of the benefits which is basically fraud in my opinion. They did not write that it does not include some of the benefits that suite tickets come with. They had the audacity to ask if I would like to resell my tickets so they can steal more money off of me.

    Hello, Janice!

    We truly value your feedback and would like to share some information to help clarify the situation. Our tickets come from individual sellers, and they only list what they choose to offer. Sellers are required to specify in the listing notes what is included with the tickets. In this instance, the seller only provided the tickets for the game, which is why parking wasn't mentioned in the notes. While primary markets might offer tickets that come with parking, if the seller only listed the game tickets on our platform, that’s all that was available. If you're ever in search of tickets that include parking or any additional perks, we suggest checking the listing notes to ensure those details are included. We hope this clears things up!

I’m less than 24 hours away from the start of the concert in October 28th ‘24 and I still haven’t received the transfer. Look up the BBB reviews. People are saying the same thing.

    I bought 7 seats in a suite to the Taylor Swift concert. My tickets all had a number on them and they said front row in the suite. Unfortunately (for us) there were only 6 seats in that row, leaving one of us w/o a seat. Customer service reviewed our complaint and they said they do not guarantee a seat, only the suite - even tho we had seat #'s on our tickts!!!! Their warranty/guarantee info is 28 pages long, so do not expect any refunds for anything!! They do not care. Very poor customer service.

    We appreciate your review and understand your frustration with the suite setup for an event. When it comes to suites, it appears not everyone would be entitled to a seat, and they are typically first come, first served. The venue can change the seating arrangements of the suite, and thus you will need to contact the suite rep taking care of your suite to work on accommodations during your event. Suites would only have a number of occupants, and you would need to use a chair to arrange another seat either provided by the suite rep or the seats in the bar area of your suite. The seller transferred the tickets as ordered, but the seating structure is out of our control if the venue changes the seating. We are always here to assist you!

    I've used Vivid Seats a ton. I like their process with the stamps. People get the 10 stamps, and Vivid Seats blends the average cost, then people get their money for that amount on the 10th seat. It's really cool that they offer that, and that actually inclined me to use Vivid Seats. Plus, the price is fair. The only apps I have download are theirs and StubHub's, and I usually just go through Vivid Seats and buy my tickets. Everything's been good.

    Hey Doug!

    Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. We understand your concern with the ticket price and would like to provide some information to help clarify things. Tickets on our platform are sourced by sellers who originally purchased them on the primary market. This means the price on your ticket, known as the face value, may differ from the price on the primary market. Sellers set their own prices based on supply and demand, so they can vary and may be higher or lower than the face value. This information is available on our website, so it's important to review it before placing an order. We appreciate your understanding and hope this information helps!

I was quoted an amount all the way across the board until I went to buy something for my kid and didn't have the money to do so because the USD conversion was almost double what I agreed to. I called customer service and showed them the proof and they said, "Too bad so sad.

    We apologize for any confusion, but the reason you may have thought you were overcharged is because you are seeing the order total after the exchange rate from US Dollars to Canadian. Once you place an order with us, the charge you see on your bank statement reflects the conversion rate at the time. Fees and taxes will also be converted.

    Essentially, I bought Timberwolves tickets from Vivid Seats and they normally just transfer tickets to me through an app and then I just scan a bar code at the game. I hadn’t received my tickets yet and the game is tomorrow, so I contacted them and long story short they wanted me to log into the app under a different user name for a guy named Austin but his username was Mohammad something at gmail.com and use a different password and go from there. I expressed my caution about doing this, but they assured me it was safe. I deleted all financial apps from my phone, and I tried the login credentials they provided and it still didn’t work. Then they wanted me to contact the seller directly and said he’d walk me through the process of getting the tickets. All this after they charged me hundreds of dollars for a ticket “delivery fee”.

    They gave me some number that starts with the area code of 404. I said I wasn’t doing this and that my business was with Vivid, not this person. They basically said I agreed to their terms and services and wouldn’t issue me a refund and to contact this random person to get my tickets. I did not get the tickets I paid for from them and I’m refusing to meet up with, call, or text a random stranger to get the tickets when I bought them from Vivid. I’m disputing the charge and had to buy tickets from a different source.

    At the end of the day Vivid Seats took my money for the tickets (which I did not receive) and they charged me a few hundred dollars in “delivery fees” which their method to obtain the tickets did not work and they ultimately wanted me to do the work for them and get with the seller personally and work it out with him/her. What service did Vivid provide me for the fees and ticket charges? Nothing! Again, my business deal was with Vivid, not their end seller.

    Hi Shanell, to clarify, we are a marketplace that is not affiliated with the venue in any capacity. We offer a platform that connects fans like you with folks who have their own limited amount of tickets they've obtained from the venue that they wish to resell. They get to set the ticket price (the amount excluding any applicable taxes and fees), and that price can be higher or lower the face value (original price set by the venue) based on live market supply and demand. We charge a service fee on every order just like any other ticket site, and this is the portion of your order we use to cover our costs of operation. Your order also included a legally-required sales tax for this transaction, which was part of the additional cost. Since the seller has to personally arrange for you to be able to pick up your tickets, there is a delivery fee involved for Will Call pickup to cover any expenses incurred to ensure a smooth delivery for you. We hope that this helps to clarify the discrepancy between the amount you paid and the amount that others may have paid for the same event, and that you still had a wonderful night out at the show!

    Accidentally placed an order for seats to a football game while researching different options. I realized my accidental purchase right away as I needed to update the quantity from 2 to 4 seats. I had called Vivid a day later due to them being closed then a death of a friend. I explained the situation and wanted to buy more seats or cancel and rebook etc. I explained that I understood there all sales final statement which by the way is very small print compared to other sites like Ticketmaster. They were unwilling to help and told me to resell the tickets. Which then I realized the scam.

    I paid a lot for good tickets but there was no seat number, barcode or any detailed information. Because of this I can’t resell the tickets because the 5 sites I tried all require detailed ticket information which makes sense. I called Vivid back and again completely unhelpful. They told me that they can’t give me the seat numbers because I didn’t “own them”. Told the person I paid over $1600 I am pretty sure I own these tickets. Anyways I filed a claims suit for their fraud. Terms are terms and I get that. But unwillingness to help in a mistake is not a good company.

    We see that you're frustrated with your experience and regret that. We’d like to clarify some confusion regarding the tickets as well. The reason that the seat numbers are unavailable now is because the tickets haven’t been released yet, not because you don’t own them. Once the tickets have been released, you’ll be able to view that information. While we understand why you want to cancel, we’re unable to because once an order is placed, an agreement is made with the seller to purchase. That’s why we state that all sales are final at checkout and in our FAQ. However, many sites allow you to list tickets for sale without having the exact seat numbers.

    Had THE worst experience, to the point I will be going to our local news station. I spent a ridiculous amount of money to see ELO, and the ticket were behind a damn screen... COMPLETE obstruction... Couldn't see stage!! We ended up having to buy a second pair of tickets 2 minutes before show started... JUST so we could see ANY part of the stage. I was in tears with the amount of money I spent on seats that PROMISED to be no instruction!! THREE calls were made to Vivid Seats, and they said they would research it, as the seats were supposed to be no instruction...

    The final call was told too bad so bad, basically. They DO NOT live up to their promise, and it's gross. I'm not done fighting for this to be made right. They clearly don't care about customers.

    Hi there, we're disappointed to hear that your experience with us didn't meet expectations, and we do hope you'll give us another chance to change your mind. We make sure to review all orders to make sure our team and sellers are held to the highest standard. We have conducted an investigation regarding this claim, and we are able to determine that the tickets purchased were side-view tickets, which is why there is a screen in front of them. Our site is user-driven, and based on the section selected, it is deemed that the buyer selected tickets behind the stage about side view. We are unable to refund this order because these were the tickets selected. The venue customer service can be asked to see if there are seats possibly open to be moved to if the view has an issue. If you ever need assistance with ordering tickets, please give us a call!

    I can’t explain how frustrated I am with my FIRST and LAST purchase on the app. In addition to the prices being more than 5/6 times more expensive than what the artist sells for. I bought Billie Eilish’s ticket in Boston to celebrate my 21st birthday, trusting in the guarantee that I would receive my ticket before the show and my dad traveled from Florida the night before JUST to help me to get in the show, but 1 hour before I still hadn’t received it. I contacted them and they said that since I bought it on the same day, it would be available 20 minutes before the show, so I went to the show and no ticket was sent, which gave me an anxiety attack that made me feel so ill.

    On the way, I contacted them again and it took an long time to receive answers to resolve the issue, and there were already 5 minutes left until the show. They tried to convince me to give them another 30 minutes, like, pay more than 600 dollars to miss 30 minutes of the show. In the end, since the show had already started and I was feeling sick from all the anxiety and nervousness due the situation, they wanted to give me a “compatible” seat without even knowing the location and without knowing if it would be sent right away. I chose to leave and thanks to Vivid Seats I missed out on the very special celebration of my 21st birthday and the money for transport that was not cheap. There is no refund that can pay for the night and the moment that I lost.

    Hi Carrie, transparency is one of our core values, and the full order total as well as a detailed price breakdown are available to for you to review during checkout prior to you submitting the order. On our website, this is under the Ticket Details that describe the event details, quantity, section, row, and any other important qualities about your tickets that the seller has included. Your order was charged a service fee in the same manner as any other order, and while we acknowledge that many folks don't like service fees, they are a standard in the ticket industry. In particular, the ticket prices are the asking prices set by and paid to the people listing their own limited number of tickets for sale, while the service fee is the only portion of your order that we keep to use to cover our cost of operation. This means keeping the lights on, paying for server hosting, and hiring the best customer service agents we can find to ensure that you're in good hands every step of the way from the moment you look for an event to attend all the way through to after the event's over.

Tickets were $25 each plus "fees", totaling $32.50 each, which would total $65. My card was charged $109.36 with no explanation of added charges. Also, the tickets were resold by someone else. This is a second-hand ticket outlet. They refused to give me my money back. Then, the concert itself had to be rescheduled. I never got notice from Vivid Seats and when I called to see if the (already overpriced tickets) I received would work for the rescheduled show, they put me on hold for over 30 minutes going back and forth with a "supervisor".

    Overall satisfied with the experience. The process was made simple and easy. I have been using Vivid for many years and will continue to use them. The reward program is also very favorable. I have received credits towards future concerts making a process that much more enjoyable. I have yet to run into any issues with vivid.

    I bought tickets to Caifanes. I looked the venue up and it's not caifanes. It is a tribute band. Tickets are $30 cheaper through venue. My issue is still not resolved. This is unacceptable and I can't believe Vivid would allow this type of nonsense. I will definitely not want to buy tickets from vivid unless they correct or solve my problem. I am disappointed with the service I was promised or provided.

    Hi, Tonya!

    We strive to ensure that all our fans have access to all the essential information about events before they place an order. We've reviewed your order and sincerely apologize for any confusion caused. It appears there was a mistake in the listing of the production. We take great care to never promote a tribute band as if it were the original, as we prioritize transparency.

    Your feedback is incredibly valuable to us, and we're grateful for your willingness to share it with us and for allowing us to address this issue over the phone. We hope you understand and that this can improve your experience!
