    Great experience obtaining my tickets! On time with no hassle! Pricing was fair and seats were good! View was as advertised. Also purchased my parking ticket at a discounted price compared to waiting for game day purchase. Will be using again! Thank you! Will be recommending to friends in the future.

    I really like Vivid Seats's rewards program. We've gotten money off of tickets in the past, and we're able to get money off of tickets this time. My husband recently went to one of the NFL playoff games, the Commanders versus Tampa Bay. We've been using the reward program for a few years. I normally compare the different sites and when I purchased some tickets last year, I saw I had several hundred dollars off on Vivid Seats. So, I was like, “Oh, well, then I'll use them.” They also don't add a lot of weird fees as badly as some of the other sites.

    Have already recommended Vivid to friends and they have already purchased tickets through you. App is easy to use and understand. Sometimes I get nervous on receiving the tickets on time but they have always being delivered. So possibly delivering a couple days earlier than you do if possible but other than that, excellent service.

    I purchased tickets for $36 each. And that included a 10% discount. TickPick has better prices for the same exact section and rows. But $16 cheaper for each ticket. Definitely won't be buying from Vivid Seats again. Tickets could have been cheaper if I got them somewhere else. Even the discount didn't make very much of a price difference.

    E tickets were successfully downloaded on iPhone. However, they would not download at Hertz arena. Very disappointing. Arena personnel were not helpful. Overall I suppose etickets are beneficial all around but when you then have to go back in line at the box office to get paper tickets it’s inconvenient.

    I have a good experience with Vivid Seats. They have the availability of what I need. Their website is great. Purchasing tickets through them is easy, for the most part. The fees are high. That's the biggest downfall of all of those websites. You're buying your ticket, and sometimes the fees are as much as the tickets.

    Hey Joel, we apologize for the delay in you getting your refund! Delivery timing depends on when the sellers who list with us receive their tickets and are able to send them over to you, and depending on if there's a release delay, that could mean that your tickets arrive closer to the day of the event. Additionally, supervisors have an internal-only role and they are not available to speak over the phone, but any information you receive from any agent you speak with will be consistent and would be the same information any supervisor could provide to you.

    In your case, you were entitled to a full refund and we have issued this back to the payment method on file - we did not offer any store credit in this circumstance since that would not be part of our protocol here. However, due to some confusion on the part of your bank, it took a bit of time for us to communicate back and forth with them before they would accept your refund. We confirmed they have accepted the transaction as of January 18th, so the latest you should see your refund reflected in your account balance is January 24th - however as today, the 20th, is a bank holiday, it may take until the following Monday at the absolute latest. Please feel free to reach out to our specialized team over social media DM (via Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter (X)) if you still have any questions, concerns, or are looking for an update on your refund!

    When I'm searching for tickets, I'll usually look at multiple sites.

I buy tickets through them about twice per year. The rewards program has been one of the most amazing things about it.

    Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. We’re truly sorry to hear about the frustration this situation has caused, as we understand how difficult it must have been to deal with the rescheduled game after your original plans were affected.

    The game was not canceled but rather rescheduled due to the hurricane, and our policy states that we can only offer compensation for events that are officially canceled, not postponed or rescheduled. Because the event was moved to a new date, the tickets remained valid for the rescheduled game. In cases like this, the best option we can provide is for fans to resell their tickets if they are unable to attend.

    I've used Vivid Seats a couple times. Everything seems to be fine. It’s just sometimes their prices seem better, and sometimes, they're not. The event I went to was fine. I just wish they would post a little bit more on their site about what the actual ticket was because I thought I would be sitting in a certain section where I got more benefits, but I didn't. I knew where the seats were, but the seats that I got have access to the Delta Club. I thought it should have been to the other club that had the free drinks and free food. I'm a member of the rewards program and I've used the rewards before. If I have a reward, I use it. I'm not sure why I didn't get as much a reward with this recent ticket, but it is what it is. I was disappointed in the price because I found out later that a friend paid half the price for the seats that I wanted. Overall, Vivid Seats is a good tool. They overcharge for their fees, but everybody does. If you want a ticket, you have to pay the fees.

This service allows you to purchase tickets from sellers who do not own the tickets but are committed to securing them on your behalf.

    Once your order is confirmed, we guarantee that your tickets will be located within the specified section or a comparable section, and you will receive them in time for the event, or your money will be refunded. Please note that for orders exceeding four tickets, they may be allocated across different rows within the requested or comparable section. Specific seats will not be assigned until delivery. As with all marketplace tickets, the pricing of Seat Save tickets may fluctuate and could be higher or lower than their initial sale prices. We appreciate your understanding and hope to assist you in the future.

    Thank you for your feedback. We hold our team and sellers to high standards to ensure the timely delivery of tickets. We understand your frustration, and typically, sellers will include an "in-hand" date to help set expectations for your delivery.

    There are several factors that can cause delays in ticket transfers, with security protocols set by venues and teams being the main cause. Often, teams release tickets for transfer approximately 72 hours before the event’s kickoff time. We can confirm that your tickets were delivered on 12/30, when they became available for transfer, well ahead of your event on 1/4.

    If you ever need assistance with your ticket order in the future, please don't hesitate to contact us. We're always here to help guide you through the transfer process so you don't have to worry about it on the day of the event. KM

    I tend to only write reviews in extreme cases (extreme good and extreme bad). Unfortunately this is the later. First, Vivid has many hidden fees that get you in the last minute. They will buckle and dime you to death. Second, let’s say you can’t go to the event and have to sell the tickets. Vivid Seats will not allow you to resell tickets on their site. In fact, they’ll only tell you to “do a Google search” to figure out how and where to resell them. Nothing more. In my recent and final business with them, I realized I couldn’t attend and tried to cancel the purchase before the seller could confirm the sale. I reached out to them for help and was ignored until the seller finally confirmed and it was too late. If you can’t buy direct, you’re better doing business with a more reputable seller like Stub Hub or TickPick.

    Hi Kimberley, we're sad to hear you're not able to attend the event anymore! We're sure you were looking forward to it and that this change of plans has been a disappointment for you. While you are still able to resell your tickets independently using another platform or social media to find an interested buyer, we are currently not able to accept listings from fan sellers like yourself unless you're based in the US. The estimate delivery date is close to the event date, but in many cases tickets are delivered well in advance of these estimates. As a courtesy, we have also reached out to the seller to ask if they may be able to deliver these tickets a little sooner to you, but we're not able to guarantee an early delivery since timing will depend on when the venue makes the tickets available to the seller to send to you. For now, please keep an eye on your email and app for updates on the delivery since we'll contact you as soon as your tickets are ready to access!

    I am a member of Vivid Seats' rewards program and I enjoy the cash back. Their site is very easy to navigate. When an event was canceled, it was impossible for me to switch my refund from reward dollars to a cash refund. It said in the app you can request the change. I was in a feedback loop with them when the event was canceled. There was an automated message saying, "Only canceled events" and that they had changed the event title to canceled. So, that was the only thing. I called and I was like, “Just so you know, I'm happy to talk to a person, but it would have been a lot easier if I could have just clicked two buttons.” That was one thing that stuck out to me.

    I use Vivid Seats’ app and it’s great and easy to use. It works. After 10 purchases, I get some money back, which is nice. It pays for at least one of the passes. I have season tickets and since I need parking for all of that, I’m constantly using Vivid Seats. I’ve checked others but the prices weren't as good. The only thing is, for certain states, you see all the prices built in and for other states, you don’t. So it's a little misleading. In New Jersey, it would be 35 bucks but when you go to checkout, it’s 60. Whereas in New York, there’s a law that you have to have the whole price built in so you know what you're spending regardless. Vivid Seats should do it one way and give an all-in price.

    Vivid Seats has a good app. I didn't have any issues with it and I was able to find the seats for each concert that I wanted. I went through a few concerts through Vivid. Missy Elliott was one of them. After you purchase 10 events, they give you a credit, like an average credit for how much you spent. I got one so far. The only difference with Vivid compared to other companies, Vivid is a little bit more expensive and that might be because they give out the incentive. But everything went well in my experience with them.

    Hi David, we understand your frustration with having to purchase a different seat than you originally wanted, and would like to provide some clarification and context for the situation. Your first order was rejected by the seller - this indicates to us that for whatever reason, they no longer have the tickets available to deliver to you. Usually this is because they listed their tickets on multiple platforms and they may have sold elsewhere shortly before you placed your order and they had not yet taken down their listing from our site. You were not charged for this first order and any pending hold for the funds was released as soon as the order was submitted for cancellation. The prices for different seats may vary because they are listed by different individuals and they set the asking price per ticket based on live market supply and demand, and that may be why the ticket you ended up purchasing for yourself as a replacement was for a slightly higher price. While we're sad to learn you ended up not attending, we hope this helps you to understand what happened with these two orders.

Often, AXS does not allow people to retransfer a ticket as their system will automatically accept and hold the ticket on your behalf, and it will be waiting for you to sign up and verify your account. In these cases if you're not successful in regaining access to an old email, you can usually go to the box office at the venue and provide your full name and the email the ticket was sent to, and it looks like you did just that! We're glad they were able to help you get into the show so you didn't miss out, and hopefully you now know how to prevent this same issue from happening in the future the next time you order tickets.

    I had bought the tickets in hopes that I could go but the day before yesterday I came down with a bad case of the flu so attending was sadly out of the question. My issue is that I could have sold those tickets if it weren't for the fact the tickets were delivered last minute. I contacted customer support on the day they came in and they told me I wouldn't have time to sell them. So I lost $135.00. I wish they had actually came in sooner so I could have got most of my money back.

    Thank you for your feedback. We hold our team and sellers to high standards to ensure the timely delivery of tickets. We understand your frustration, and typically, sellers will include an "in-hand" date to help set expectations for delivery.

    There are several factors that can cause delays in ticket transfers, with security protocols set by venues and artists being the main cause. Often, venues release tickets for transfer about 72 hours before the event's showtime. We can confirm that your tickets were delivered on 12/28, when they became available for transfer, well ahead of your event on 12/31.

    We always recommend purchasing insurance for added security in case any unexpected issues arise with your order. If you ever need assistance with your ticket order in the future, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We're here to help guide you through the transfer process and ensure everything is in place before the event. KM

    I had two tickets to a concert for my birthday and it was also the day of new year’s eve. One got transferred easily the day of the concert and another wasn’t transferring. I contacted customer support and it got down to the last 2 minutes before the event started just to tell me that the seller of my ticket wasn’t responding and that there were no replacement tickets so I could not get into the event. I ended up crying because even the event coordinator wouldn’t let me in although I PAID for my tickets. They told us we got scammed out of our ticket.

    Hey Bri, first please accept our sincere apologies that the seller for your second order failed to deliver your ticket. We tried to reach them multiple times throughout the days leading up to your event but they never responded. Our first option would have been to find you a commensurate replacement seat if possible, but there were none available and we were forced to cancel the order after the seller never followed up with us about the ticket. We have already cancelled and issued a refund of this order for this reason, but we'd like an opportunity to connect with you to make sure that you're all set.

    My daughter and had to arrive at the game at separate times she dropped me off but when she came back approx an 1 1/2 later. All the parking lots were blocked off and police wouldn’t let her enter. We weren’t able to use our parking pass and she wasn’t able to get in so we lost the price of admission and the price of our parking pass not to mention I didn’t get to spend the time with my daughter. The event personnel weren’t very helpful either. The parking pass was supposed to be usable up to 4pm. She came at 1/2 time so she wasn’t able to see the 1/2 time show or the second 1/2 of the game.

When tickets were sent, our section stated GA. There literally are no other sections! I have requested a refund twice and because the row states GA, they state they listed everything correctly. So paying $75 for $48 tickets seems like a legitimate selling site for customers who are mislead into believing they are getting premium seating to an event??

    We regret that you felt mislead, Kristina, as that's never our intention. A table is literally just a table with chairs, so there is no assigned seating. Thus, it's general admission.

Once a new date is confirmed, all ticket holders will be notified via email. Your tickets will still be valid for the new date, and if you can’t attend, you have the option to sell your tickets to a family member or friend. Additionally, you can list them for sale on a resale platform. A quick online search for "sell my tickets" will provide you with various options to sell your tickets.

    The tickets didn't show up until after the event started, so I ended up buying more tickets at the venue. The tickets showed confirmed on the Vivid app, but weren't ready so they were useless. After I bought more tickets and sat down the tickets finally went into ready status. So I need my money back.

    Hello, John!

    Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. We sincerely apologize for any misunderstanding related to your order and value the chance to provide some clarity.

    Upon reviewing your order, we noticed that when you reached out, we attempted to assist you through chat, but we did not receive a follow-up from you, which limited our ability to completely address the issue. As for the tickets, the listing did indicate that they required a mobile device for entry, meaning they were digital. We understand that you might have preferred physical tickets, but unfortunately, we do not have control over how the venue distributes them.

    We truly appreciate your understanding and hope this helps to clarify your concerns!

    Hi Dawna,

    Thank you for your review. We would like to provide additional information on how prices are set. As a ticket marketplace, we facilitate the sale between buyer and seller. The seller sets their own price for the tickets they have listed for sale based on several factors like seat location, if additional amenities are included, and supply and demand. As a live market, prices can fluctuate as tickets get listed and sold, so we suggest checking back often to find the best price for you!

    Hi Blake,

    Thank you for your review. After looking into your order, I noticed it was marked as a Seat Saver in the notes, which was clearly indicated in the listing and during checkout. Seat Saver allows you to purchase tickets from sellers who do not physically own them; you pay the listed price upfront, and a trusted seller then manages the transaction. Once your order is confirmed, we guarantee your tickets will be located in the listed section or a comparable one, and you'll receive them in time for the event or get your money back. Please note, if you order more than four tickets, they may be split across different rows within the specified section, and specific seat assignments are made only at delivery. As with all marketplace tickets, Seat Saver℠ prices may vary from the original sale prices.

    We were never able to show information for the parking and the attendant finally let us in on trust that we did have a pass. Our tickets for the game took about 15 minutes to get up to where we could access them. We were never able to add anything to our Google Wallet. I had contacted your people right after I purchased the tickets because we could not access them in the beginning. He instructed me to just wait until right before the game and they did not come up until literally right before the game. He did tell me that if they did not show up that I would have to go to a ticket booth and they could probably straighten this out at the venue.

    That seemed ridiculous to me that I paid you folks a fee for me or someone else to do your job. This transaction was poor right out of the gate. I paid an overpriced fee and fee for electronic transfer so that I did not have problems and instead nothing went well...

    Updated on 01/14/2025: So I am trying my hardest to give a good review. But since my tickets were stolen when I tried to get into the Jersey Devils game on December 27th because these particular tickets were sold multiple times apparently because somebody was sitting in my seat that didn't know what was going on either... I have been non-stop, emailing and calling Vivid about this situation. They keep telling me they're looking into it but I get no response. I would watch the ticket you buy on this website!

    Original Review: I bought my tickets and apparently other people bought my tickets. And my seats were taken and I went all the way to the venue an hour drive and could not see the game. I doubt I will go do a Vivid ticket again. I was very disappointed when the person scanned my bar code and it came up invalid. I was told to go to the box office around the corner to figure out the situation, the gentleman behind the glass explained that most likely these tickets were sold to many people and that they were invalid, and that vivid is not a secure.

    App it's a third person app, and this can happen. Sporadically at any time.. this was a Christmas present for my husband and I was so disappointed that he did not experience this game. It was the first game that we've ever been to together, in 15 years. I called Vivid Seats and I was told they will email me about this situation in a couple of days, so we will see

    I would not use this service again. This company's business model behaves on disguised pricing. For example, I purchased tickets to an event. On the sponsored ad it said $60, I scroll down the page $70, I click the link $94. I assume that given I am on the website that I would not receive further changes, considering the difference between those would make up the platform's margins. Instead, that was not the case. I had paid $131.88 with a whopping $37.88 service fee. Why you may ask? Because I assumed that the tickets I wanted would cost what was advertised, and thought nothing of it. Yet, in the name of “live-pricing” — a cop-out of any responsibility for their actions — this platform suggests it cannot remedy any matter with a refund or credit.

    I mention this particularly because a competing website had the same exact tickets — GA Tier #5 to be exact — for $80 and $91 after fees. Vivid Seats, if may I be so bold as to make a recommendation, if you truly are a “live-pricing” platform, abide the behaviors of competitors and do not broadcast an inauthentic price; put a direct link to your website and nothing else (I.e. if you don’t have $60/$70 tickets don’t say so).

    Unless you advocate for deceptive practices, I would refrain from anyone else using this service again. I wish I could attach imagery to depict the slime. Realistically will this review do anything? No, companies such as this do not change. You can expect an “Unfortunately, (sir/ma’am) due to our policies we are unable to grant you a solution to your request.” Yet, I can tell each of you considering purchasing tickets that you are better off spending your hard-earned dollars elsewhere.

    Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Julian, we regret that you feel frustrated. When we advertise, we may state that tickets are priced "as low as $60" for a given event. This may be the lowest price per ticket before fees if you are purchasing a specific listing that may require you to buy two or more tickets. When you change the quantity you want to buy, this changes the available listings to those that will allow you to buy that many tickets within the same order. Since you were purchasing a single ticket, the cheapest one that was available at the time was listed for $94, excluding any applicable taxes and fees. The ticket price is set by the seller who listed the ticket on our platform, and we are transparent about charging a service fee just like every ticket site. We don't try to hide any part of this fee within the ticket listing price and provide you a full breakdown of your final total for you to review at checkout. We aren't able to refund the price after checkout since it was freely agreed to. Still, we hope this explanation helps.

    Brad was amazingly helpful and solved the very confusing maze of my ticket purchase for the 12/27/24 Clippers vs. Warriors game at Intuit Dome. I bought my tickets through Vivid, but Ticketmaster "delivered" the tickets for acceptance. However, clicking to "accept" the tickets took me to my existing Ticketmaster account, but that showed I had "no upcoming events". I've never had that happen before. Previously, the tickets were always there when accepted. I first called Ticketmaster and they said they'd have their "outside account team" contact me in 3-5 business days, but the game is in 3 days. I called Vivid and Brad answered. He told me there's another link to the Clippers site that I should have received.

    He sent it and I could see I had tickets but STILL wasn't allowed to download them until I downloaded the Intuit Dome app, which required another, separate account setup!!! After setting up that account, I could see I had tickets again but they still can't be downloaded. I has to set up a special Intuit Dome ID and will have to transfer each ticket to each person with me. Thank goodness Brad helped me get this far. Intuit Dome has a nightmare of a process just to get into a game for which you already have multiple digital tickets you paid for and are using to attend with guests. Some of our guests are minors without phones and we now have to set up separate affiliated accounts for them. Unbelievable!!! Makes me want to just resell the tickets. So far, Intuit Dome SUCKS, but Vivid and Brad were great!

    Hey Nick, thank you so much for giving Brad a well-deserved shoutout! We know that the Inuit Dome App and the process of getting tickets is a bit complex, but now that you're set up you should be good to go for any future events you attend there. We're not affiliated with Intuit Dome in any capacity, but to ensure your tickets are valid and you have no issues at the venue getting in, your tickets need to be delivered through and accessed through their proprietary app. We encourage you to provide them your feedback about their app/ticket experience so they can make improvements to the process for all fans!

    I ordered tickets and now can not access them as the email does not contain any way to receive my actual tickets. The customer support is terrible, not helpful with the actual situation. They jump around the actual problem and then cut the support off before actually helping to figure out the situation. Safe to say after this event I will not be purchasing my tickets from Vivid Seats again. Still waiting to figure out how I will get my actual tickets for the show.

    Had no problem with the tickets to the game. Probably should have read a little more on the bag policy for the arena as my guest had a small mini purse that we thought would be good but was just a little too big. Enjoyed the game and had a good amount of fun.

    I was not aware they give your seats to other people due to arriving late and placing you in a room to watch the play in a room in a small screen when I can watch TV at home, for me it was a waste of money. What’s the point of paying for a seat if they are going to give it away. Never again will I bother to pay for this.

    I asked to have a 2pm ticket booked to go along with the other 2 tickets I had previously purchased. I gave the order number and everything, so he knew what day, time and seats we had. I needed 1 more ticket for a friend. The agent booked 7pm instead of 2pm and when I called back RIGHT AWAY - I was told I cannot get a refund. Will never use this company again.

    Hey Glenn, we're glad you had an easy time coordinating getting tickets to everyone who was attending! We appreciate your feedback about the fees, and we just want you to be aware that the fees are the only portion of your order total that we keep to cover our costs of operation - the ticket price is set by the person who listed your tickets for sale and is what they are paid when they successfully deliver your tickets. It's important to us to be as transparent as possible about what goes into your full order total, so we don't want to "hide" the fees within the ticket price. We know that nobody likes to be charged a fee for no reason, so we hope this brief explanation gives some more context for why we charge a service fee.

    Vivid Seats made it sound like their prices were good and it was easy to deal with. The platform was easy to deal with. My wife has their app. We got tickets to Journey, and then we had parking for that concert. What happened was I screwed up and I didn't read the fine print and paid a lot of money for those tickets. When they canceled the show, I was unaware that there was a timeline that you had to have to put in for your refund. They gave you 10 days to put in for a cancellation receipt so you could get your money refunded and I missed that window. So we were out quite a bit of money. So we've been trying to use our credit that Vivid gave us and we can only use that that credit with Vivid Seats tickets for stuff. We used the credit to purchase tickets to the Kenny Chesney concert in Milwaukee and parking. My wife used the remainder of the credit to buy Packers tickets for Monday.

    I can't remember the rating given and I don't want to misquote, however, did not match up to what was the actual seats. They did have an obstruction to the view, that did at points hinder to you seeing parts of the show. Overall they were good seats but for the rating they had, I was not expecting this obstruction.

    Hey Karla, we base our ratings on the overall popularity of the section and row you're purchasing and it's current price. While your tickets were not listed as obstructed and the venue does not appear to have labeled these tickets as obstructed or limited view, occasionally temporary equipment or stage construction can cause a partial obstruction like this. These aren't necessarily considered obstructions by the venue as for this stage setup the performer is moving around the stage and so won't be fully or partially obscured for their entire performance. We appreciate your feedback, however, and we're still working on tweaking our rating system to help assist in purchases moving forward!

    Vivid Seats fees are a tad bit cheaper than some of the other sites and there's a better selection. I was just reading about their reward program because I'm trying to buy some Broadway tickets and I may look into that. One thing I've noticed that Vivid Seats does not do is, when you are buying theater tickets, they will give the row number, but not the seat number. It’s nice to know if you are going to be tucked in the side of the stage where you're not gonna have a good view or if you're gonna be in the middle. And if you have the seat number, you would know that.

We are constantly improving our in-app experience and are working on providing seat views to give you a better idea of where your seats are located. We want to assure you that once your tickets are delivered, you'll have full visibility of your seat numbers.

    Since Vivid Seats operates as a ticket marketplace, we do not require sellers to list seat numbers upfront, so unfortunately, we don’t have that information available at this time. However, your complete seating details will be accessible once your tickets are delivered.
