I had to call Vivid Seats help multiple times to secure my tickets and Vesper was by far the most helpful in resolving my issue. She was especially key in allowing me to enter on time as doors had already opened and I still did not have access to my tickets.

Vivid Seats never seems to let me down. Was out of town on my way to event when I was thrown a curveball and unable to access tickets. Customer service was quick and efficient to get tickets for me and my family. I can’t recall service agent name that helped but she went above and beyond to help and get me to my event.
Ivan, our team is always available to deliver exceptional customer service when you need it. Thanks for choosing us as your favorite site for event tickets!

When we arrived the seats were already taken. The couple showed us the exact seats we purchased. Went to customer service and they gave us new seats. Seats that were given to us were nowhere as close as nice of seats. We were disappointed in our experience. Would like to be refunded for our seats and poor experience.

Vivid Seats is very user-friendly on the app and it’s good quality. The tickets will be sent to you via email. I like that when you buy 10 tickets, you get the boost or the percentage off of tickets.

I purchased two tickets to a concert through Vivid. The email recommended that the tickets be "delivered" before the date of the concert which consisted of the tickets being sent to the wallet on my phone. After the date for the concert was changed and I wasn't able to make it on the new date, Vivid stated that I was unable to get any refund on the tickets because they had already been "delivered". Marc the customer service person was not helpful and did not assist with my issue.
We understand your frustration and appreciate your review, Zachary. We have looked into the order and unfortunately won't be able to issue a refund for this order. We see that the tickets were delivered in time for the event before it was rescheduled. We are unable to refund or credit the order since the tickets will be valid for the new date on 9/25/24. We could only refund or credit this order if the show was cancelled or the seller didn't deliver the tickets. We don't own the inventory of tickets on our site. If you can't attend, we suggest that you try to resell these tickets. We are always here to assist you with your order concerns!

I love the rewards system. I of course wish it was more aggressive so that I received more freebies or monetary credit to be applied towards ticket purchases, but grateful for what is in place. I used my most recent credit of $108 towards a shoe I was on the fence about. So glad I got to go at half price thanks to Vivid Seats!

Had an easily rectifiable situation with Vivid Seats that cost me over $250! Bought tickets to a football game back in April that was scheduled for a Saturday in October. Two months later I get an email from vivid seats telling me that the game was changed to a Friday night... for which I wouldn't be available. Called to get a refund and was told they couldn't refund my $255.50, that they can only refund for canceled events. BTW...svc. charge for 5 tickets...$63!!! Really? Done with vivid...see ya! I learned my lesson.
Hi Wally! We understand that a rescheduled event can disrupt your plans. While these decisions are made by the venue or the team and are not taken lightly, we do have an all-sales-final policy unless an event is officially canceled. However, you can resell your tickets, and your order is eligible for our fan seller program, which simplifies the process! Just visit our website or give us a call for more information. We hope this solution is helpful and look forward to assisting you!

Can’t get my ticket until game day. That is ridiculous. The school has released all tickets. The seller should send them but Vivid won’t contact them. I’m not traveling clear across the country to a game just to show up and never have received my tickets. Don’t say this is industry standard to avoid fraud. It’s so you can make the most $$$ possible. Greed at its finest, ticket industry is a mess!! And Vivid is part of the scam.
Hi, Zach! Thanks for reaching out and sharing your concerns. We understand you're eager to receive your tickets, and rest assured, you're in good hands. Our team closely monitors each order and stays in constant communication with our verified sellers. The delivery date is always provided before placing an order so our fans know what to expect—often closer to the event date for security reasons. We’ll continue to monitor your order until your tickets are delivered. Remember, you're also covered by our Buyer Guarantee. Thanks for your review!

Tickets on the app were advertised on app as "clear view" with a picture of a clear view, but I actually had an obstructed view. Will never use Vivid Seats again. What a ripoff. Stay away from vivid seats.
Thank you for sharing your feedback, Susan. We want to clarify that the tickets you received were classified according to the venue's standards, which did not designate that section as having an obstructed view. We strive to provide accurate information based on the venue's classifications, and in this case, it was not listed as obstructed. We appreciate your understanding and hope you’ll consider giving us another chance in the future.

I was going to buy tickets through AXS but I checked Vivid Seats and they had tickets for cheaper and they ended up being in a VIP section. It was a no brainer to get tickets through Vivid seats for cheaper than AXS especially when they were VIP tickets. It’s also nice to be able to redeem rewards after getting 10 stamps.
What a fantastic win, Andrew! Snagging VIP tickets for less is like finding a golden ticket! We're thrilled you chose Vivid Seats and are enjoying the rewards program too. Keep the good times rolling, and happy event-going!

I will change my experience after I receive tickets.. game is in 48 hrs and I still have received the actual tickets.. and have to send to family in advance.. stated instant delivery and paid extra charge for it as well and 2 days out and still waiting. Also reached out to customer service about it in which they assured I would have in time.. but I feel this is cutting it close especially without any communication on exact date and time..
We see that you placed two instant transfer orders for a game on September 15. Both of those were transferred immediately after the order was placed. We haven't been contacted about any issues with those orders so hope you enjoyed the game with your family!

Yanks Red Sox bought 3 tickets for over $100 and used built up credit. Got email to claim tickets. Could not claim. Called support line and chat team. Was told I’ll receive them before the game. I did not receive them before the game. I was late to the game bc I was waiting outside the subway to make sure I could access the tickets beforehand. Ended up having to buy another 3 tickets from another site. Overall a terrible experience as my credit card was still charged the remaining balance and I used my credits I built up over time as well. I understand it’s a marketplace but when a seller puts tickets up for sale on your site you should hold it in an escrow position since you’re the middleman in the transaction. So thank you Vivid Seats for turning what I thought would be a great night into me being late for the game and having to buy tickets from a different site.
A terrible experience and have been back and forth with multiple people regarding my experience. I’d like a phone call or email explaining the situation and to be credited back my rewards points and the charge on my credit card before I call them up to dispute it as fraudulent since I was never given what I paid for. I’d give zero stars if possible, I never have had this terrible of an experience with any site and considered myself a loyal vivid seat user until the atrocity of last night. Hope we can get this resolved.

I am extremely upset with this company. My first time using Vivid Seats was yesterday and I will never use them again. We bought tickets that showed as available for three people and got a call about 5 minutes after stating the order was confirmed and that we should receive the tickets by email shortly. We then noticed we hadn't received our tickets and called Vivid Seats. The woman said that the tickets were no longer available and that the previous representative made a mistake.
First of all, why wouldn't anyone call us to tell us the tickets were no longer valid? Had we not called we would have not known. This is completely irresponsible customer service. The woman also said she'd try to get us tickets that would match our price range and seat selection but then said the concert was sold out. They also only gave us a $70 credit. I have never in my life had such horrible customer service and will be telling everyone to stay away from Vivid Seats. I was extremely upset as we traveled about an hour out of our way thinking we had concert tickets. What a waste of time.
We do all we can to fill every order, and the majority of them are fulfilled without any issue. In rare cases, tickets become unavailable and an order must be cancelled. We're sorry that this was your first experience with us, Sarah, and that our agent was mistaken regarding the order status. That's why we issued a credit to make up for the inconvenience you experienced. We hope you'll change your mind and give us another chance to prove ourselves.

If I could put zero stars I would. They have a buy now pay later option through PayPal, which I clicked on to do and it said 52 month but it took $600 and they will not give me back my money. Then they tried to tell me that wasn't even on there. I have a screenshot that literally shows it. I'm sure if you look it's clearly there! Does that sound like a scam to anybody else?
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.

Originally a 1 star review. Vivid has since reached out and made good on this issue. I will continue to use Vivid Seats for my tickets. Vivid has been able to resolve every issue that I've ever had purchasing tickets through their app.
Original Review: Sept. 12, 2024
I purchased tickets by mistake for the wrong date. Before the tickets were delivered which normally takes a few hours to deliver, I contacted Vivid and tried to cancel the purchase. They told me to google how to sell unwanted tickets. Ridiculous. At least they could refund the huge fees they took to purchase the tickets or refund my bonus points that were used to purchase the tickets.
Reviewed Sept. 11, 2024
Never use this site. Seller provided tickets that were in no way what was listed and Vivid Seats chose to upload the sale, as the seller "provided a ticket that was delivered and claimed it was accurate." There is apparently no buyer protection or recourse for sellers misrepresenting sales. Avoid at all costs.

I saw tickets in row 1 of section C for UCF vs. Florida Gators football, and I didn't buy due to excessive fees. Then Vivid sent me an e-mail to buy the same seats with a 15% discount. The discount didn't work, so I called the toll-free number to buy the section C row 1 tickets. However, when I checked the confirmation e-mail, I actually was given section C row 11. Then when I called and asked them to fix the mistake, they didn't fix it. They only offered to investigate the original phone call where my mother and I told the lady 3 or 4 times about the section C row 1 seats. I guess my word wasn't good enough. Maybe the lady didn't understand me. I would never have paid that much or even asked for row 11. To make matters worse, they sold the row 1 seats again to another customer. They even sent me an email informing that the row 1 sets were sold to another customer. What a bait and switch scam.

I recently purchased four tickets for a Tennessee Titans game through Vivid Seats, and my experience has been extremely frustrating. I specifically sorted my search by row to find front row seats, and the website returned tickets listed as row AA, which I believed were front row so I purchased them. However, I ended up receiving four tickets in row Y instead.
When I called Vivid Seats for assistance, I was told that row Y is considered a better seat and that their policy deems it an upgrade. This response was not only disappointing but also infuriating, as my son has difficulty standing to watch the game and I explicitly needed front row seats for his comfort. Now we are stuck with these row Y tickets that do not meet our needs at all. It's unacceptable that Vivid Seats misrepresented the seating arrangement and failed to provide the tickets I purchased. I expected better service and transparency. I would not recommend using Vivid Seats based on this experience.
Hi there! Thank you for reaching out—we’re happy to provide some clarification. Our map of Nissan Stadium shows that the rows run from A through KK, with A being the first row, not AA. As a result, Row Y is considered an upgrade over AA, since single-letter rows come before double-letter ones. This means your tickets met our fulfillment guidelines as they were an upgrade. We understand how unexpected changes can cause frustration, and although your event has already passed, we encourage you to reach out to us privately on social media if you have any questions or concerns. We truly value your loyalty and are here to help with any further inquiries. We look forward to hearing from you!

The fees are just too much. I feel like this is the last time I will buy tickets through here. We looked on Ticketmaster and unfortunately, they were not on there before but tickets right next to where we’re sitting were available on the aisle, where we can actually select the seat and see where we were sitting and it’s not such a gamble, and they were the same price as the seats we bought, but $200 cheaper because of the fees. As horrible as Ticketmaster is, and as much as we try to go to other places to do business instead of them, unfortunately, I understand they are a bigger company so they can possibly charge less, but these were sell tickets as well and still $200 cheaper. The fees are where the pain is at. Scalp is already horrible, it’s just makes it so much more unbearable. You can buy a whole other ticket for the fees sometimes. The other reason is because you never know your seats going to be. It’s hard for tall people to be scrunched in sometimes, especially with disabilities. Thank you.

I ordered tickets and received confirmation. The confirmation indicated that I would get the tickets the day before the event, but I didn't get them. I trusted that they would be sent since I didn't from them otherwise, so I waited until the day of the event. When the tickets were still not available, I used their chat service in an attempt to get them. Their chat system is a joke. If I even minimize the screen to get my order number, the chat disappears and I have to start all over again. It took a long time to get to a rep, and then they responded slowly. I was told that the seller didn't have the tickets available. I have no idea why Vivid Seats didn't contact me to let me know this ahead of time. I ended up getting a refund and having to buy tickets elsewhere at a much higher price since it was the day of the event. I will NEVER use this service again. Their customer service is a joke.

What a relief! After 5 calls to support, I finally got a CSR with English as their native language!! The previous 4 calls took almost 2 hours, and they still couldn’t understand the circumstances. This time I only had to explain 1 time and she handled the rest perfectly! Hiring call centers out of country is not smart business. They may be able to read and write English, but they don’t understand what is being said to them. I explained the situation multiple times with each one of the previous CSRs and they took my case in the complete wrong direction. Knowing that there is at least one US based call center makes me comfortable enough to continue using Vivid for all my event tickets. Before today, I had decided to delete the app. Now I’m reinstalling it. However, if I ever need support again, I will call and hang up on every csr that has to read aloud their greeting to be able to pronounce, until I reach a native English speaker.

BUYERS BEWARE of Vivid practices and refusal to provide support to the buyers on their website. In April of 2024, I purchased 6 tickets to the Auburn vs Arkansas football game on September 21, 2024. They were purchased for almost $1000 which included the Vivid fee of almost $250 with the full understanding that Auburn would not release the ticket until early August. At the time I thought I was buying from a reputable company and I was excited for my family to be able attend the event. Due to unforeseen circumstances, we are not able to go. I would like to sell the tickets to try to recoup some of my cost.
Auburn University did release the tickets to all of their games in early August. I have contacted Vivid through email many times over the past month and requested the tickets to be released to me. They have refused to release the tickets and keep saying they will release them on September 20, 2024. That is 24 hours before the game and allows no time for me to be able to resell the tickets. With less than 2 weeks to the game, I did have someone to buy the ticket but since I was able to transfer them, he decide it was too risky to wait and purchased the ticket from another source.
The only logical reason for Vivid not to release the tickets is they are holding the money as long as they can to collect the interest off the money they are holding. With the potential amount of ticket sales from Vivid website this could be a significant amount of profit for Vivid. It is clear that Vivid does not care about the buyers on their site. I would highly recommend that everyone be cautions when purchasing ticket on the Vivid site and consider using one of the many other sites to purchasing tickets. I personally will never use Vivid again.
We understand your frustration and appreciate you sharing your thoughts. If it were up to us, all tickets would be sent right away. However, neither we nor the seller control what date tickets are available. Reviewing the order, we see that your tickets were emailed to you several days before they were scheduled to.

We had got a parking pass to the NC state game Vs Tennessee. The ticket was 50 dollars to purchase. Prior to the purchase we assumed it was a normal parking pass.

After trying to get a refund because we had to purchase another parking pass, we were told that we didn’t follow “specific instructions” by some Indian man, although it never told us we had to arrive an hour before the game to use the parking pass.

Bought a GA lawn concert ticket for about $100, my friend found the exact same ticket the next day for $47 from Vivid. I couldn't believe it and searched again and all that was available to me was higher priced tickets. While her search at the exact same time yielded cheaper ticket prices. I'm not sure if I'm only shown higher ticket prices since I've purchased multiple tickets and have credit to "get your 11th ticket free". After I've used up my remaining credit there's really no reason to continue using Vivid.
Hi Greg! We appreciate you sharing your thoughts about the ticket prices. We’d like to offer some clarity on this matter. Our ticket marketplace features tickets from individuals who purchased them originally on the primary market.

I would recommend purchasing tickets ONLY if you can get an instant download. I purchased a ticket for a concert that was sold out a few weeks after my initial purchase. The seller never uploaded my ticket, so the day of the event I started calling the Vivid Seats customer service number. I was greeted by a pleasant person who assisted in calling the seller. The seller assured her that he would post the ticket within the hour. So, I proceeded to continue traveling to my venue. An hour before I got there, I called again to let them know my ticket had not been sent out. They attempted to call the seller a few more times and did not receive a response. I was told I could go ahead and get a refund or wait until the start of the event to see if the seller would upload the ticket. I opted to wait given that I was now closer to the venue than to my home.
Upon arriving at the venue, I called again and was told that the vendor no longer had the tickets available, so they would issue me a refund. Now, I understand things happen, I drove almost 3 hours to this event and would have been willing to move past this. However, it is now, five days later and I have received zero communication from Vivid Seats, nor have I received my refund. I reached out to them yesterday and was told it was being investigated and I would receive information via email when everything is processed. They can see that my ticket never came through because it has to come through them, so I don’t know what needs to be investigated. I would have appreciated a phone call or an email letting me know what the process was going to be, along with an apology. I will likely never use Vivid Seats unless I am able to get an instant download in the future. Proceed with caution.
Hello Jamie! Thank you for your detailed feedback regarding your recent experience. We understand the importance of timely communication and ticket delivery. Your refund has already been processed and should appear in your account within 3-7 business days, depending on your bank's processing time. We appreciate your recommendation for instant downloads and will take your comments into consideration as we strive to improve our services. Thank you for your understanding.

Vivid seats are terrible. I called and talked to three people. I couldn't get my ticket for parking. No one helped. I ended up getting a Uber. I told one of the people at vivid I told her I traveled from Chicago to Las Vegas to see a game. She was no help so I asked for a refund because I couldn't get the parking ticket. She was, "Oh no. We don't give refunds." So I lost money. They are terrible. I almost didn't get my game tickets and they don't care as long as they get your money. I will never ever give them my business again.

I think too many tickets were sold for this concert. There was not a single open seat in GA and strict standing areas that were full and security was pushing us out of them if we even had a single foot out of the line of standing areas. We had to stand up top with no view of the stage because it was so full of people who couldn’t find places to sit.
Hi Hayley! Thanks for sharing your experience with us. We’d like to clarify that, as a ticket marketplace, we don’t generate tickets for events; all tickets are provided by the venue.

What a nightmare! Bought concert tickets and get tons of spam emails making it hard to find the tickets.

Worst experience. Purchased tickets for an event that is 9 hours away from my home. I made trip arrangements, car rental, hotel, gas, days off.

I purchased tickets to the Hollywood Bowl for an event on August 29, 2024. My email confirmation stated Estimated Delivery Date is Wed. Aug 28, 2024. On August 28, 2024, I inquired about the status of my order because at the Hollywood Bowl, to order food to be delivered to your seat (for certain seats), you must place the order by 6 pm the evening before. The response I received from VIVID SEATS was "As you can see, your tickets will be delivered to you on or before August 28, 2024 till 11:59 PM." The response said "will be delivered." See Photo.
I did not receive my tickets by 11:59 a.m. on August 28, 2024 and so on August 29, 2024 I requested a refund. The person I was chatting with advised I would get the refund. I purchased tickets elsewhere and made an affirmative request to VIVID for my refund. Then, at 11:58 am, on August 29, 2024, I received the electronic ticket transfer.
I called VIVID again asking for the refund promised. The person I spoke to by phone said that VIVID will not issue a refund (despite having already promised me a refund and the late transfer of tickets) because the event has not been canceled. The person I spoke to also said VIVID allows sellers up to two hours prior to the event to transfer and if they do, the buyer gets no refund. This "policy" not to issue a refund despite the tickets not being delivered by the date/time promised is ABSURD. I did not see any such disclosure when I made my purchase. Something that important needs to be prominent and conspicuous.
It is also absurd for Vivid to allow this to happen: (1) take my money, (2) not automatically cancel when tickets are not delivered as promised, and then (3) not provide a refund (especially after having promised a refund). Based on Vivid's anti-buyer policy, an unscrupulous seller can post tickets on Vivid, hold the tickets for up to two hours before the event meanwhile trying to sell them higher somewhere else, and when that scheme fails, finally transfer to the buyer on Vivid. Vivid cares to do nothing about this apparently although they are responsible for this platform. To make matters worse, VIVID already promised me a refund, so I went and purchased tickets elsewhere, and now they're going back on the promise of a refund.
Darlene, thank you for your review and feedback. We understand the anxiety that comes with waiting for your tickets. We make sure to review every order inquiry and escalation to make sure we are holding our team to the highest standard. Unfortunately, we are not able to offer a refund or compensation.

We could only offer a refund if the tickets were not delivered in a timely fashion before the event time.

Updated on 08/26/2024: Update - they called today and offered to refund for the missed day. I would certainly not do business with them again, but appreciate some resolution to this.
Original Review: I purchased tickets on 8/8 for a music festival the following day. It said they would be available at least one hour prior to the concert either at will-call or local pickup and I would be notified by email how to get them. The concert began at 12 pm. At 12 pm I contacted customer service because I had still not received the email or any info. Checked will call multiple times through the day and they were not there. I spent 3+ hours both messaging and on the phone with several customer service agents to which the only answer was “they are on their way and should arrive by 4:30 pm” (4.5 hours after the start of the concert).
They were delivered to a Walgreens one mile away from the concert at 5:11 pm (see timestamped Fedex delivery alert). I had to walk for 30 min each way to get the tickets and made it to the festival in time for the last act of the day. Customer service refused to replace the tickets, despite having plenty available and has refused to refund me for the lost day despite the “ticket guarantee”. It has been the worst most unbelievable customer service I have EVER experienced. The last rep I talked to (Erlynne) actually said “I understand this isn’t your perfect outcome” after telling me that once tickets are delivered there’s nothing they can do unless the event is cancelled. So much for ticket guarantee!
We appreciate your feedback regarding your experience with Vivid Seats. Since you purchased these tickets the night before the event, they were shipped via FedEx Express to a pick-up location near the festival. When purchasing shipped tickets that close to the event date, we can’t always guarantee delivery in time for the start of an all-day event. However, we sympathize with your frustration. We spoke with you over the phone about your experience and discussed an appropriate resolution. We hope you had fun for the remaining days of the festival and that the resolution we've provided helps to make this right for you.

I had an issue with some tickets that I purchased and the customer support team was awesome in helping me fix the problem!

I purchased parking in the BP lot at Kauffman stadium for the Royals baseball game. Parking map was full of different alphabet sections. Upon arrival to area I discovered that the parking was across the busy street in a gas station (BP Gas) parking lot, wasn’t even at the venue and was twice the cost to pay at the station in person.
We want our fans to have all the information they need when selecting parking, Kay. To prevent confusion, we gave the exact address of the lot in the listing notes and noted it was the BP lot. Still, we regret any misunderstanding about where the lot was located.

After many weeks of going back-and-forth with your company which my father and I were literally never going to use again, I can honestly say that Jeanette was and remains to be the only reason we will keep using your company for our tickets and recommend you going forward. During the last few weeks, multiple people tried telling us that we got the tickets and our credit card company refunded the money and then took it back because they were told by someone at your company that we did get the tickets. And after multiple hours today, we were told the same thing until we got Jeanette on the phone.
Vivid should be lucky to have an employee like this to work for them who was able to look at the situation not only at the facts but at the human beings that were involved in this ordeal for the last few weeks and truly make the right decision. I have never been more pleased with a representative that I spoke to on the phone before and you guys should give this woman a raise because she is worth all the tea in China! Jeanette, I’m not sure if you’ll see this but thank you again and we wish you nothing but the best!

I've bought and sold on several resale platforms. Every once in a while, when you buy same day, you have an issue where someone is literally unavailable to transfer the tickets. Or they have them cross-posted and somebody beats you to them. In this case, I bought a parking pass day of a game (9 hours before the game). 3 hours before the game, no pass. 2 hours before the game, I reached out and said "I'm about to park, I'll make other arrangements, just cancel my order".
The response from Vivid was not "No problem, we have that 100% guarantee", it was "You just bought these today, parking passes probably haven't been 'released' yet.". Never heard back from them. I found a cheap cash lot, hiked to the stadium and enjoyed my event. Parking passes were never sent. It's almost 24 hours later, no money credited back to my account yet, but I did get a $10 coupon for future purchases. Avoid these guys, use one of the ticket places that is run like an actual business.

I purchased tickets for the Usher Concert in Atlanta through Vivid Seats. Flew in, picked up my car rental, and checked in my hotel. Only to find out the show was cancelled just hours before schedule. Reached out to Vivid the customer service was awful and denied a refund because the show was rescheduled at an inconvenient date. Monday December 9th. The law should prosecute them when a company extorts your money after not fulfilling their obligations. It was not anyone’s fault but the company has no recourse to solve the issue after my time money and days off were wasted. I will never shop with them and I hope the federal government holds them accountable with expensive fines!
Hi Latrice, we know how disappointing it can be to have your whole night planned out, only for a last minute change of event to throw things out of alignment. The venue has the sole discretion regarding cancellation and rescheduling of any events they host, and in this case they opted to reschedule the show. This means that your tickets remain valid for entry. We notified you via email as soon as we were made aware of the rescheduling of the concert, at approximately 12:26PM Central time the day of the show.
Our role as a marketplace is to facilitate a safe, secure transaction, and to ensure that you receive authentic and valid tickets for your order. To that end, we have upheld our end of the transaction and the seller has provided your tickets. If you're unable to make arrangements to attend on the rescheduled date, you are always welcome to resell your unwanted tickets using another platform or through social media to recoup some or all of the cost of your order. We wish you the best of luck with any potential sale, and hope that the information provided here has helped to clarify our reason for the provided resolution, even if it may not be the ideal resolution given the circumstances.

Received tickets. Vivid Seats would not let me resell before the concert. Customer service told me that I could not sell because the event was “sold out” on their site. I explained that a sold out event might sell well even though I wanted face value. Customer service told me that I could sell through Ticketmaster or StubHub?? The reason I called Vivid Seats is because when I clicked on “sell tickets” I was not directed to a sales portal. Online chat said that there was not a phone number associated with my account so they could not help. When I called, my phone number was associated with the tickets purchased. Asked customer service rep if I could speak to a supervisor and was told “No”. Deceptive and opaque business practices. I will report to my state AG.
Hi Nancy, we allow fan sellers to list certain kinds of tickets. These would be tickets that are printable or are physical tickets that must be shipped via UPS. Your tickets are mobile tickets, so we would not be able to accept a listing from you for this event for these specific tickets. Additionally, the event must be more than 24-48 hours out from the time you are looking to create the listing to ensure there is plenty of time for you to provide the tickets to whomever buys them. The phone number associated with your ticket order is not the same as a phone number associated with a seller account, which is why you were receiving that error when trying to contact our seller support team. You would have been prompted to enter this information if you were able to create a listing with us.
If you are ever unable to list your tickets with us, you always have the option to resell your tickets elsewhere using another platform or website, or independently via social media. Supervisors are not available to speak over the phone as their duties are internal-facing. Any information or assistance you would receive from a supervisor would be consistent with the information you'd receive from any of our agents. While we're disappointed to hear that you were unable to attend the event, we hope you understand our reason for our sales policies and procedures, and that you were able to resell your tickets elsewhere in the end.

Vivid Customer for life! Thanks to Ms **! I had purchased some VIP tickets from Vivid for a special concert for myself and my youngest to attend. We were so excited and looked forward to the concert for months. However, upon arrival, and throughout the evening, the concert, the seats, the experience was not what I had purchased nor expected. I had used Vivid Seats exclusively for all of our concerts, program, game, tickets, and music festivals, because of the great prices and packages but was prepared to no longer patronize this company because of the poor outcomes had in this occasion.
All of that changed today. I had waged my concern with Customer Service the night of the concert and a week later I received a call from **, following up. I explained to ** my frustration, including all the specifics of the concert which truly was horrible. I tried to be mindful of the fact that this young lady was not what caused the problem and articulate myself in a way that was kind, but I’m sure I didn’t come across that way. She still remain gracious and immediately sprang into action saying she would run my concerns up the flagpole. I honestly didn’t expect to hear anything back.
Within an hour of our conversation ** reached out again with an answer and a solution to the issue and a remedy beyond anything I anticipated. I was absolutely blown away. **, Vivid Seats, cared that I am a long time customer, they cared that I was dissatisfied, they cared enough to attempt to make up for a bad experience. That is unheard of in today’s environment. I will continue to use Vivid seats exclusively because of ** and what Vivid allowed her to extend.

After using Vivid Seats several times with no issue I was confident in purchasing tickets to a Baltimore Orioles game on August 23rd as a Father’s Day gift. I purchased tickets in Section 86, the “Bird Bath” which is considered a premium section so I did not mind paying a higher price, $142 per ticket BEFORE the $50 per ticket fee.
On August 5th I received tickets to section 78, $50 a ticket. I contacted Vivid Seats on August 6th and sent the tickets as requested and did not receive a response. I followed up again on August 12th without a response. I finally spoke with a representative on August 15th who said that my tickets were considered valid since they were “seat saver”. Neither my confirmation nor my receipt reflect seat saver and reflect that my tickets are for Section 86. Vivid Seats is supporting sellers’ upcharging for seats that have no intention of providing and getting out of their guarantee but saying they are “seat saver” without buyer's knowledge.
Hey there, Christina. We understand your disappointment with receiving tickets that were far from the originally selected section, especially if you missed the Seat Saver disclosure in the listing notes, checkout, or your Order Summary email.

We tried for two days to transfer a ticket, kept getting, whoops, something went wrong, try again later. Called in, was on hold more than 30 minutes, gave up. Tried the chat line, "Oh wait, we'll get back to you in 4 hours." After trying 10 more times the next day, the ticket finally transferred.
We're sorry to hear that you had to wait for assistance, Shelli, but glad that the issue resolved itself. The "oops" error is usually a result of a temporary error with your connection or browser, which is why it resolved without our assistance. Still, we regret the inconvenience.

DO NOT use Vivid Seats for purchase! Fees are high and customer service is poor. We had an event that was rescheduled 4 times. I could not get a refund (even with insurance purchased) and I could not resell tickets, even though they told me my tickets were eligible for refund.
We understand it's frustrating when an artist reschedules, Jill, and we want our fans to be clear about our policies. We state in our FAQ that only completely cancelled events are eligible for a refund, even if the venue may offer one. This is because tickets are still valid for the new date. Insurance is provided by Allianz, a third party, so any insurance refund would come from them rather than us. If you need their contact information, please contact us.

I purchased tickets in July for a concert and it was postponed. Here it is August and no sign of rescheduling or anything. I call to try and resell my tickets to them. They will not buy the tickets back due to not having a set date, and I cannot get a refund. So, now I am just out of $250.00, and the no concert to attend. Then they respond to sell my tickets on another site.... But who in their right mind would want to purchase tickets with no set date to attend??? Biggest scam of my life! I will never in my life again give them business and I will tell every soul I cross not to purchase a pen let alone a ticket from them. BEWARE! No refunds unless the event is canceled.... so postponed rescheduled does not matter. Even if they reschedule the concert date while you are in surgery. PATHETIC!

Hi there, thank you for sharing your thoughts. In our ticket marketplace. Sellers set their own prices, which fluctuate based on supply and demand.

I purchased concert tickets from Vivid Seats for a recent show—I had purchased my tickets a few months prior. I understand that when you purchase re-sale tickets to sold out events, you’re typically going to be paying more than face value. But the service fee was really high, almost $134 for two tickets to be sent as pdf file so they were downloadable and printable. I really wanted to see the show, so I splurged. When I checked the site closer the the day of the show, the service fee for the same exact tickets was significantly lower. I got valid tickets and had no problem getting into the venue, but this is dishonest service. There should be a flat service fee and nowhere near what I was charged. For that reason, I am unlikely unlikely to purchase from Vivid Seats again, unless I happen to find a show in the future with a reasonable service fee. I would rather purchase tickets from a more established and well-known ticket re-sale site.
We appreciate you sharing your thoughts with us. We completely understand that service fees can occasionally raise the overall cost more than expected. It is essential to understand that these fees fluctuate according to supply and demand, so they can change frequently. Please rest assured that we are utilizing these fees to enhance the safety and security of your transaction, as well as to ensure a seamless ticket delivery experience. We truly value your feedback!

I ordered tickets about three months ago for an event scheduled for August. I purposely bought tickets that were close to the stage because I wanted my wife to have a great experience. I had to contact Vivid customer support since I hadn't received the tickets electronically the day before the event. I was later informed by customer service that there had been an issue with the seller, and our only option was to accept 2 tickets that would be located farther away from the stage! I later checked through Vividseats' website and found out that our initial seats were selling twice as much as what we had paid. This is a scam my opinion. You are never guaranteed what you have paid for since they will literally force you to move elsewhere so they can make more money! I will NEVER BUY from VIVIDSEATS for future events and will strongly encourage my friends and family to do the same. EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED.

In accordance with our guarantee, we looked for suitable replacements, and in this case, due to the high demand of the event, we could only offer a different section as a replacement.

I still don't have Bar Codes for my upcoming Boston Red Sox game. It made me download a separate MLB App but tickets are not complete. Very frustrating that the tickets are incomplete. Why is a separate App needed with separate login needed?
Hey David, it's normal for barcodes to ballgames to not be generated or visible until closer to the day of the game. This is a standard security practice implemented by the MLB to help prevent theft of your tickets should someone gain unauthorized access to your account. It also helps prevent any confusion for folks who may have tickets to multiple games so they have a smoother time getting into the ballpark. The MLB as a whole has moved to issuing and managing their digital tickets through the MLB Ballpark app, and so to ensure that your tickets are legitimate, accurate, and valid for entry, they must be delivered and accessed through the MLB Ballpark app. The good news is, now that you're all registered, you'll have an easier time accessing your tickets to any other games you want to attend! If you'd like some reassurance about the barcodes, feel free to contact us privately here with a screenshot of what you see when you try to view your tickets so we can take a look. We're here to help, and we hope you have a wonderful time at the ballgame this fall!

I had a horrendous experience with Vivid Seats. I purchased 4 tickets from Vivid Seats to the Taylor Swift ERAS tour in Amsterdam for July 5, 2024. My family and I travel to Amsterdam. I have used ticket resellers before and am aware that tickets aren't typically delivered until a few days before the event. As of July 4, I still had not received the tickets. I did an online chat with Vivid Seats. I was told that I would most definitely have my tickets by midnight on July 4, that they are monitoring the situation and will make sure I have the tickets. They are in CST. I was 7 hours ahead in Amsterdam. They had a hard time understanding that.
I woke up at 6am (Amsterdam time) on July 5. Still no tickets. I do another online chat with Vivid Seats pressing them for the tickets. Yes, they understand. Yes, they are monitoring the situation. Yes, they are contacting the seller. I press them that I have paid almost $6k for these tickets and expect them to be delivered now. The concert is in less than 12 hours. They again tell me that they are monitoring the situation and plan to give the seller until 4 hours before the concert to deliver the tickets. 4 hours! Which time zone? Because 4 hours before in CST will be during the concert. Again, they cannot seem to grasp that I am 7 hours ahead of them. No amount of my literally begging would get them to do anything. They assure me if I don't have the tickets by 4 hours before the concert, then they will find me other tickets. I have no choice but to end the chat. I am at their mercy whether they send the tickets or not.
In the end, I felt I had enough evidence to dispute the charge on my credit card, even if the tickets showed up (but I was confident they were not coming). I went on Stubhub, found better seats for $1,400 less for July 6 and the Seller delivered them promptly. The concert for the Vivid Seats tickets began at 6pm. At 6:15pm, I started yet another online chat with them and asked for a refund. What, you don't want the tickets?!? No, seeing that the concert already began and I don't have the tickets, YES, I want a refund. Again, they could not understand the time difference and indeed, no one was monitoring my ticket situation. No one reached out to me and the tickets were NEVER delivered. Thank goodness I was able to buy another set from Stubhub. Avoid Vivid Seats at all costs. Never will buy tickets from the site again.
