“Customer service was solid”

Sacca G.
2/5/24

While purchasing tickets for Cabaret on Broadway, I accidentally purchased tics for the wrong date (had 2 windows open!). I immediately realized my mistake, found a customer service phone number and called. I explained what happened to 'Kate', and was told that it may be possible to exchange tickets for the date I actually wanted. About 4 hours later I received a call back with a confirmation that the exchange had gone through and that my new tics were available on the app. I know that SeatGeek policy is that all purchases are final, but because these tics were a few months out they were able to assist. I appreciated the customer service.

“Charge buyers up to 40+%”

9/4/24

The seller pay 10% and buyers pay up to 40% and you don't see the break down unless you put in the search price without fees. Can't reach a human to speak with This is the official site of MLB contact you team to tell them that fans are being ripped off

Very confusing. I ordered two tickets for Saturday, February 13 and ordered three tickets for February 14 for the PBR and AT&T Stadium. We got confirmation for the three seats on the 14th that something is wrong with the tickets for the 13th. But I just looked at my credit card statement and there are two different charges on there so I'm assuming I've got tickets for both those days But not quite sure.

Buying process was simple. The fees were low. I shopped around for these tickets, and the SeatGeek prices were cheaper than other ticket resellers and even cheaper than the box office.

Like every time I use SeatGeek, the process was easy and quick. Bought tickets the night before an event, and received the etickets within minutes of purchase.

I needed a refund because I was no longer able to attend an event. The person I was going with got admitted to the hospital and they were very understanding with the situation.

I always seem to find it hard to find my tickets. Other than that I have no problems with the site. I do like that I am able to save my favorite teams and venues.

In the year that I have purchased extra tickets for both soccer, basketball and also Patti Smith tickets, I have neither been able to resell my tickets with refund, nor have I been granted the holiday discount that promoted the Patti Smith sale.

Hi Niels,

Thank you for taking the time to write in. I'm sorry to hear you haven't been successful with your resale listings so far. I definitely recommend checking the Deal Score assigned to your listing to help ensure your pricing is competitive to raise your chances of a sale.

In regards to the promo code, please feel free to reach out if you're having trouble applying a promo code on an eligible order--We'd be happy to help! You can email us at hi@seatgeek.com, or chat in through our platform.

One quick note - Most but not all of the tickets listed on SeatGeek are promo eligible. The easiest way to see which tickets are eligible is to filter by selecting "Promo Eligible Only” via the app or changing “All Ticket Types” to “Promo Eligible” on the web. This will show you listings where that discount can be applied. Before you hit confirm on your purchase, it’s a good idea to double check that the promo is applied to your order.

I hope that helps! Please let us know if you have any other questions--

Best wishes,
SeatGeek CX Team

All good, except I have to search around in the app to pull up the pdf of the tickets, to forward in an email to staples to print because my printer is out of service.

I like the app. The only thing is when I went to purchase, the option 1 or 3. Not 2 or 4. Maybe I hit did something wrong. I wanted 4 ticket and had to buy 3 then go back and buy 1.

I was surprised at how easy it was to go to the site, select the seats, purchase them, and get them to appear on my cell phone. Everything went smoothly, and I will use the site again.

It would be nice to be able to pick the seats. When buying tickets you are just give the row and a number. If we were able to see the seats we could have a better option and choices.

Awful, and they didn't ever send me my tickets and scammed me! Don't use them, as I'm still fighting for a refund. And awful customer service. They're terrible in every way.

Tip for consumers:
Don’t use them, you won’t regret it.

Products used:
None because I never got my tickets!!

I appreciate the ability to see what it will look like from the seat. I didn't like that we could not see or know the seat number until after purchase.

I haven't received my tickets yet. The buying experience was simple as always. I'm used to getting my tickets as soon as I purchase. I've never had to wait before

Hey Christinia, thanks for sharing your feedback. We'd be happy to look into this for you.

Looking at your order, it looks like the seller already delivered your tickets the same afternoon as your order. It looks like we sent you an email about this on the 14th, but even if you didn't receive that, you can still access your tickets easily just by logging in and going to your "Tickets" page.

If you aren't seeing your tickets there, please email or give us a call and we'll be happy to help you get access to your order.
