    In terms of using Vivid Seat for the first time, I think Not receiving my ticket on time for the show was horrible and disappointing, I did not end up assisting the performance & costing me a loss of a ticket because my daughter decided not to stay since I never received my ticket. However I have to say that the customer service agent was absolutely supportive and remained on the line the whole time while communicating with the seller and her supervisor, attempting to get me another ticket. Unfortunately it did not work, I was on the phone forever. She was patient, empathetic and really tried her best and was able to get me a refund for my ticket. However because of not being able to attend, I also lost the other ticket because my daughter was not going to stay on her own. It was too late to sell her ticket at this point, the show already started!

We're relieved to learn that Shamecia was there to help you out and pulled out all the stops to try to get that ticket in your hand.

    The seats were great, concert was awesome but the best experience was from the customer service reps. The delivery date for the original ticket purchase had passed and I was worried I wouldn’t get tickets for the concert. Reps were able to find similar (better actually) seats and assured me I would get the tickets on time. I was a little worried because it was getting close to concert time but they come through and I was very happy we didn’t have to cancel our plans. The experience made me feel safe doing future transactions with this app. Thank you!

    This company claims to be a reseller but they are offering tickets to shows in my community that have NOT SOLD ANY TICKETS YET. They are tickets for sale at 3x the actual price at the box office. No one has bought any tickets yet for some of the shows so how are they being "resold"?

    A bit stress inducing not having tickets on hand till exactly 1 hour before doors opened for concert. I had to travel 2 hours to get to the concert location not knowing yet for sure if I would have the tickets on time. And even if the reason that the tickets are mobile so last minute wouldn’t be an issue, what if service at the location was not good? Which is always a possibility. It worked out in the end but the stress leading up was not worth it.

    Hi Alyanna,

    Thank you for your feedback! We understand that waiting for tickets can be stressful, especially before an event. Many venues only allow tickets to be transferred on the day of the concert for security reasons to prevent duplication. Additionally, sellers often send tickets in batches to fulfill orders efficiently. We appreciate your patience and are glad to hear it worked out for you in the end!

    The overall experience was good. The staff very friendly and helpful. The only thing I do wish to point out is that maybe you should explain seating better. I'm referring to the even numbers on one side and. Odd numbers on the other side of the theater. I had a friend buy tickets and he thought he was sitting next to us but the staff explained that it was on the other side. Other than that everything else was good; the show was funny. I had a good time.

    I had verified my email, like you asked. Installed the app but when I got to the venue I could not access my tickets for them to scan. Had to go to where they sold tickets and still had a hard time getting our tickets. It showed that I bought 2 tickets, had the section and row but not our seats, nor the barcode for them to scan. It wanted me to reset my password, which I had just set up in the last few days. I had that password and user code saved but it wanted me to change password. Too much of a Hassle at the counter. She finally gave me two tickets as we found the seat number in an email.

    Hi Jane, we can definitely see how this would have been frustrating for you, and we apologize for the inconvenience you experienced. When you placed your order, your tickets were delivered via a transfer URL that we sent to your email the same day. This email contained further instructions on how to access your tickets. Typically for Electronic Transfer delivery, your tickets will not be located via the Vivid Seats app. This is because we don't issue or generate any tickets ourselves - instead we provide a secure, reliable marketplace with full-service customer support to help you find tickets to thousands of live events and to assist you every step of the way.

    Hey Sean, we want to first apologize for how long it's taken for us to get you an update on the event. It's rare, but in some cases events can end up postponed for multiple years and eventually rescheduled for a new date with the original tickets still being honored as valid. It looked like this was potentially the case for this event, especially since it had already been moved once from one venue to another. We tried multiple times to get an update from the venue regarding this event, and we eventually opted to reach out to you to discuss a resolution instead. We hope this helps to make this right for you and to start your year off on a better note!

    Buying tickets through Vivid Seats is easy. The views of the stadium and the seats are really representative, and they're easy to work with. I've bought sporting event tickets, and I like the ease of the app and clear pricing. There's also a reward program. All the ticketing sites have these fees, so buying tickets from Vivid, I get some of the fees back if I stick with the rewards. I've always liked Vivid more. It works better and there's a nice incentive to keep buying tickets from them.

    Easy access tickets we delivered the day before. So no worries if the tickets will be delivered on time. But the issues with the price posted before and after fees. They should advertise with the fees. Because it seems a bit misleading to have two tickets for twenty one dollars and it comes out to eighty one dollars total. Transaction fees will get you but for the experience 5⭐

    This company is trash. The buyer back guarantee is bogus. Per terms and conditions, it states on-time as being delivered by time of event. So I live 3 hours from state college, bought a parking pass weeks in advance, paid extra for UPS overnight delivery and it got delayed. Will not get here until GameDay. If it gets delivered before 1201 pm I am not entitled to a refund of any sort. You've got to be kidding me. The lots open at 7AM, these are not game tickets!!! You buy a parking pass to tailgate meaning I would need the parking pass by 330AM to be valid. I don't know why I gave this company a shot over reputable places such as Ticketmaster or StubHub. Customer service is a joke and they have ZERO compassion towards their customers. Will NEVER use this company again and I will make sure the whole world knows why and what they are getting into when using Vivid Seats.

    Hi Bernard, thank you for sharing your thoughts about your experience with us, even though that experience was less-than-ideal for you. We don't own or generate any tickets sold on our site - all the tickets you see are issued by the venues or their authorized ticket distributors, and are listed by individuals with their own limited quantity of tickets. This means that we don't always know which exact seat numbers you'll receive, as that isn't fully locked in until they're sent to you by the seller. We can see how this can make it a little difficult to coordinate ticket purchases with friends, so we highly recommend buying all your tickets together in a single order as a group since we can only guarantee adjacent seats if all your tickets are together in the same order (but be aware that for larger orders there may be a disclaimer in the notes that tickets may be split up into groups).

    The tickets you received seem to be aisle seats in the center court section. These would ordinarily be highly desirable seats for a lot of folks, but we know this kind of thing is subjective and not a preference you share. Typically sellers will label their aisle seats in the ticket details/notes on a listing to highlight this fact. They may not have done so this time, but we wanted you to know that bit of info for the next time you look for some great seats. Additionally, while we aren't able to account for how disruptive your fellow fans may be at any given event, it's our hope that you will consider giving us another chance in the future to help you attend something awesome and exciting!

    Response from Vivid Seats

    Hey Kevin, we understand the frustration this may have caused you, but we have good reason for not being able to accept a PO Box as a mailing/billing address. Sometimes tickets are listed as electronic tickets because that's what the seller anticipates they'll be receiving and sending to you - however in some rare cases, tickets end up being physical tickets or passes that need to be shipped to you. We use UPS for all of our shipping needs, and they're unable to deliver to a PO Box. For this reason we require a non-PO Box address for your billing/shipping address, since we will ship to your billing address if we try to contact you and don't hear from you after three business days. This just ensures that you'll receive your tickets in a timely manner even if you just happen to be busy when we call you to try to confirm your shipping address. We hope you understand, and that you can find a workaround for the future when you need more tickets!

I purchased 2 tickets to a football game same day tickets and after I received confirmation that my credit card would be charged the $1200 and funds were taken out of my account. However a few minutes later it was cancelled due to not having enough Info for validation. Even though they canceled my reservations my funds were taken out and couldn't be refunded until a later time. But not in time to attend the scheduled game. Traveling from 2 states away and trying to see a NFL game for the 1st time was not an option. I did receive my refund after game started by this time my effort was useless.

    I bought our parking pass for this event back in July/August (for a December game) and it took until after 1 PM the day before for my tickets to be ready. I was not emailed when they became ready and it was very stressful having to check up until less than 24 hrs before the game to see if I was getting tickets or being scammed. Especially since these tickets were print only and had to be specifically accessed from a computer. We traveled from Maryland to New Jersey for this game and would not have had access to a computer or printer if it was not for our hotel. We had ~5 months before that where we could have easily printed the tickets but were forced to scramble less than 12 hrs before the game to get things printed.

    Emily, thank you for your review and feedback. We take every inquiry seriously and hold our team and sellers to the highest standards.

    We’ve looked into your football order and confirmed that your parking pass was delivered instantly upon your order on 8/17/24. Regarding your mention of the “pass being available,” this delay is due to security measures implemented by the NFL venue. Typically, the venue releases access codes via Ticketmaster 48 to 72 hours before the event to prevent pass duplication. Unfortunately, this is an NFL-mandated policy that we cannot control.

    We’re glad to see the pass was delivered in well enough time for your 12/15 event, and we hope you had a great time at the game! If you ever need assistance in the future, we’re always here to help.

I waited 3 or 4 more hours again and still no tickets. After spending another hour or so chatting online, being transferred to another agent, getting disconnected, speaking with the same agent again and then being transferred a final time, I was told that the seller was not going to transfer my tickets.

    At this point, the agent offered us closer seats at the same price, so that was nice, but I still had to spend several hours of our vacation dealing with the situation, in addition to the stress and worry about the possibility of having no tickets after paying over $1500 for four tickets.

I receive no explanation as to why the seller didn’t keep his end of the bargain either. At 9 o’clock in the morning the day of the concert I was told he needed one more hour, but that never happened. You cannot do this to people. That seller should not be allowed to work with Vivid Seats again either. My daughter wasn’t tears and I was so angry. Shame on you.

    Hello, Rebeca! Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We’ve looked into your order to better understand the situation and would like to provide you with some clarity. When you reached out for an update on your tickets, we found that the delivery carrier had already made some changes to the address and was on route. Since you were traveling to the event, we suggested updating the shipping address to ensure you could receive the package at your temporary location. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience, as it appears the delivery carrier faced some challenges that delayed your package. We assure you that we strive for timely delivery of tickets or your money back, which is why, in accordance with our Buyer Guarantee, your order was canceled and refunded due to the tickets not arriving in time. We truly appreciate your patience and understanding during this process!

    We completely understand your frustration and recognize that unexpected situations can sometimes prevent you from attending the events you love. As a secondary marketplace, we do not own the ticket inventory listed on our site. The screenshots you provided are from Ticketmaster, not from our platform, and the offer you see is coming from their account, not ours. Unfortunately, we are only able to issue refunds if the event is officially canceled by the venue.

    We also have a strict "all sales are final" policy, which is agreed upon at the time of purchase. Regrettably, this means we are unable to offer a refund or compensation in this case. However, if you're unable to attend, we recommend trying to resell the tickets through our platform to allow others to enjoy the event. If the event is rescheduled or canceled, we will be sure to inform you. As always, we're here to assist you if you have any further questions.

    I recently had a terrible experience with Vivid Seats, and I’m compelled to warn others about their lack of transparency and poor customer service. I purchased tickets as a gift and only discovered, the day before the event, that the seats I bought have an obstructed view. Nowhere on the ticket listing, confirmation email, or even the tickets themselves did it mention the obstructed view. I had to independently verify this on the venue’s website.

    When I reached out to Vivid Seats’ customer service, their representatives were unhelpful and dismissive. One even hung up on me. They claimed the seller disclosed the obstructed view, but this critical information was not shared with me as the buyer. Their solution? Resell the tickets on their platform and buy new ones—without any assurance the new tickets wouldn’t have similar issues.

    To make matters worse, when I asked to speak with a supervisor, I was told that no one else was available to help me. The entire experience was frustrating and disappointing. Vivid Seats’ lack of transparency and refusal to take accountability have left me extremely dissatisfied. I strongly advise others to exercise caution when purchasing tickets through them.

    Quick and easy to book with the app. It also has very good location pictures of the stadium seating and highlights the view of the section. The only thing I don't like very much is that when you pick a section and seat it doesn't show the fees right away.

    Hey James, thank you for sharing your opinion of your purchase experience! We're pleased to hear you're enjoying all the different ways we help you choose the right spot to sit, and that you found the whole process to be pleasant. We show the fees all together with your final total to hopefully reduce any potential confusion about the amount you'll be paying for your order, but we understand that may not be ideal for some folks. Hopefully you know where to look during checkout before you submit your order (it's under the Ticket Details on the web and when you tap Total on the app), so that way you can review everything and make sure it looks right before you commit to the purchase.

    When we showed up to the Will Call desk, it turned out that the tickets were printed under some random address that didn’t fit the info I put into the website. Along with that, only one ticket was secured (after a thorough search by the theater venue) even though I paid for two. Thankfully another person’s children got sick before the performance so they donated the tickets to me and my very excited 5 year old, but I was very frustrated by this service and will not be using it a second time.

    Buying the tickets was great. No issues. But was sent information to buy a parking pass which I did. The parking garage was open however ALL of the roads to access the parking garage were closed and we could not park where we paid to. If roads are closed and the garage could not be accessed it should not have been an option.

    Hey Robin, we know you would enjoy the convenience of being able to access your electronic transfer tickets in our mobile app. Since we operate a marketplace and don't have any affiliation with this venue, we don't have the ability to generate tickets on their behalf. Your tickets were instead delivered via electronic transfer over the Pacific Northwest Ballet account manager. You would need to use their account manager to access your tickets, and once you do they may allow the option to add your tickets to a digital wallet if that's something they have the technology to scan for entry. In some specific cases we are able to link directly to tickets or provide you with QR codes in our mobile app, but in many instances tickets have to be delivered through the venue's official ticket distributor or account manager site or app instead. If you prefer to access your tickets in the Vivid Seats app, look for Mobile E-Ticket delivery types when browsing for seats!

    I appreciated the ease of purchasing and the reminder about the event since I ordered tickets a little over a year prior to the event. The frustrating part came at the venue when waiting in line to get in, we found we had to go into another line purely for those who purchased through Vivid. It took an hour for them to Transfer the tickets to what the venue would accept (SeatGeek) That's something that should have been advertised or clearly stated at the time of purchase since the Delta Center is a huge venue and not new to hosting large-scale events.

    Hi Jennifer, thank you for your honest feedback about what happened at Delta Center the other week, and for taking a few minutes to talk to us over the phone so we could gather some more information about your experience. To clarify, we are not affiliated with Delta Center in any capacity and we do not generate tickets on their behalf, nor are we affiliated with Ticketmaster or SeatGeek. The venue switched their digital ticket partner from Ticketmaster to SeatGeek, and reissued all the tickets for this concert through SeatGeek. While the seller who provided you the original tickets did transfer your tickets through SeatGeek the morning of the concert, it sounds like there may have been some technical issues with SeatGeek that day which required the venue to manually confirm each transfer for anyone who bought tickets through a marketplace like ours to ensure that you had no issues getting to your seats. We're glad to hear that they were able to get this sorted out for you and that you didn't end up missing the headliner!

    The seats themselves are really cool. Good view of the field. Happy with that. Good access to concessions and bathroom. The problem with these seats relate to seats 1-24 which can only access bathrooms and concessions through one side (by passing these seats). Imagine standing up and sitting back down 40-50 times in a single football game. It’s just distracting and inconvenient. I would NEVER recommend these seats to anyone, especially at $270 for a pair!!!

    Vivid seats have very expensive service fees. They offer low price tickets then ADD on extremely high fees & charges. The worst is that you may not get your tickets until 2 hours before the day of the show. They are a marketplace and not an ideal seller to purchase tickets from. Check out other sites before booking with them. They will NOT issue refunds and have terrible customer service.

    Hi Anne, thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us; your feedback truly matters! We completely understand your concerns about the service fees and the ticket delivery process. To provide some clarity, our service fees vary due to changes in supply and demand, which means they can fluctuate. Our primary aim is to ensure a secure transaction and timely delivery of your tickets, and these fees play a crucial role in that. As for the ticket delivery, our sellers must wait for the primary market to release the tickets or enable the transfer option before they can send them to you, which is beyond our control. We appreciate your understanding and hope this information helps ease your concerns!

    I had never used VividSeats before this and I had a great experience. My tickets were delivered on time and I had no trouble getting into the venue. I was worried because I couldn’t add the tickets to my Apple wallet but they loaded just fine at the venue. I had a great time!

    Original Review: Dec. 6, 2024

    Did not get tickets to concert tonight Dec 6 2024. Purchased tickets Sept 2024. Was on the phone all day and was promised email delivery for 6 different times during the day. It is now 3 hours before concert and no tickets. Customer support says tickets should arrive 1 hour before concert. I live 3 hours drive from the venue. Do not use this site. Customer support is from Philippines and are useless.

    I purchased tickets for the Hometown Holiday concert in Kent WA, but was no longer able to go because of work. When I tried to sell the tickets, Vivid Seats did not have an option to sell digital tickets, which almost all tickets are digital now. Instead, I went to social media to try to sell the tickets and email them, but I wasn’t able to sell them. Because Vivid Seats does not allow selling of the most common type of ticket, I am just out over $200. I won’t be using VividSeats again.

    Kaysa, thank you so much for your feedback! We're really sorry to hear that you weren't able to attend the event; we completely understand how disappointing that can be. To ensure a safe and seamless experience for both sellers and buyers, we have certain requirements in place for individual ticket sellers. However, you can always choose to resell your tickets on other ticket marketplaces, as many of them do permit the resale of electronic tickets. While we wish we could assist you with the resale, we hope this information will be useful for you down the line!

    Hey Elaine, we're glad you had an easy time gifting your dad some sweet seats! We disclose the service fee as separate from the ticket price - that's what the seller gets paid for delivering your tickets - because we value transparency about how much of your order goes to our operating costs. While the convenience of digital tickets is sweet, there's a lot of back-end infrastructure and human effort that goes into making that experience as seamless as can be! We hope you take advantage of all the ways we help support fans like you and your dad get to enjoy some amazing live events, like our Rewards program, Game Center & Giveaways, and even some sweet discounts from time to time.

    Vivid Seats failed to disclose a 40% service fee. I went through multiple pages selecting seats, adding contact info and adding payment info, all without the fee being shown. After all information had been input, the fee was added off to the side on the "complete order" page. No information about the existence or nature of the fee had been disclosed before this page. I believe this is a deceptive and predatory practice and in violation of the state law where I live. The fee was not even disclosed on my receipt (I was just charged 40% more than expected). I immediately asked Vivid Seats for a refund upon being charged much more than I expected but was refused. In fact, they tried to get more business out of me by having me sell the tickets I no longer wanted on their site (for who knows what fees)!

    Hi Alexander, it sounds like you've had a frustrating time trying to discuss your order total and the price breakdown since you did not spot this information during the checkout process. We display the fees prior to purchase as part of the full price breakdown which details the quantity of your tickets and the listed price (which is set by and paid to the seller), the service fee (broken down per ticket), and any applicable sale tax or delivery fees depending on the location of the venue and the delivery method of your tickets. All of this information is available to review before you submit and finalize your order by clicking the Place Order button at the bottom of the page.

    While it is true that we offer fans the opportunity to resell their tickets on our platform, only certain formats of tickets are currently accepted for listing by fan sellers (folks like yourself who are maybe not as experienced with reselling tickets). Since these tickets are not being issued in a format that we permit you to resell with us, you would have to list them elsewhere or arrange a sale independently via social media. We suggest this course of action for various reasons where you may no longer want your tickets and those reasons don't fall within the scope of our Buyer Guarantee or Terms of Sale, because we want you to know that you have that option.

    Despite any frustration you may still be feeling about not spotting the fees before you submitted your order, we'd like to emphasize that you've secured tickets for the game, and you're bound to have a fantastic time watching some Spring Training sessions if you choose to use your tickets. If you decide you no longer want to keep these tickets, reselling is a fantastic option for you to recoup some or all of your order total at your discretion. We hope you have a better idea of where to find all of your order information before you place an order in the future, and that you'll be able to find a resolution from the available options we've described that works best for you.

    Denver Nuggets game 12/03/2024: This experience began when I made a purchasing error and purchased one seat instead of two. I immediately phone customer service and was told there was no problem. The customer service agent purchased two additional tickets together in the same section although a different row. No problem. He then said he would switch me over to his colleague who would take care of eliminating the one-seat purchase. I was switched to a different agent who said something to the effect, as a reseller, Vivid Seats could not be responsible for customer errors. Therefore, “you” must take the one seat that you purchased and place it on StubHub for sale. It would be have been very easy on my initial call for the agent to simply purchase an additional seat in the same row if a refund or correction of the error could not be made.

    I ended up with three seats instead of two, and did put the one seat on StubHub for sale. I totally admit it was my initial error of completing the transaction for one seat instead of the two that I really wanted. However, because of the way it was handled when I call customer service it ended up costing me about $400, that could have easily been avoided if the customer service agent had responded in a different and more efficient manner. As a result of this experience, I will not use the services of your company ever again. As I said, this was initiated by my error, but customer services approach to solving the issue cost me $400 of unnecessary expense if the situation had been handled in a much easier and much more efficient and appropriate manner.
