“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+%”

Dean P.
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

It happened with two tickets. Twice. The same third party whichbyou can't see until you purchase. It's like you are in on it.

Hey Justin,

Sorry to hear like there has been a couple of instances that have negatively impacted you with your orders regarding our third party vendors.

When you are selecting your tickets you will see the seller listed in the same section with price and deal score. If it says SeatGeek or Box Office, that is us, otherwise it will say Ticketnetwork or whomever the third party is. That way you can avoid third parties you may have not had the best experience with.

That said, please call us at 888.506.4101 or email us at hi@seatgeek.com and let us see how we can assist you here!

Warm Regards,

SeatGeek CX Team

SeatGeek are thieves. I purchased Bruno Mars tickets 5 days ago, not realizing general admission tickets were not for sale yet, and those prices are much more reasonable (I paid DOUBLE what the general admission tickets were. Absolutely ridiculous). After realizing THAT I WAS SCAMMED I wanted to cancel the tickets. I called and they stated that I was not able to get a refund. They said that I am stuck with them. They also did state that I could try and sell them once tickets are sold out. BUT, I will not even get a PDF version of my tickets (which I paid an additional $5 for an email delivery) until one week before the event. SEVEN DAYS PEOPLE. There is no way I can get to sell my tickets, and even get my money back for a concert that is OVER 9 MONTHS AWAY just SEVEN DAYS before the concert. I am highly upset, they do not care for the customers, and are just trying to make extra money off of their customers in any way possible.

I will NEVER purchase from SeatGeek again, and I highly recommend that no one ever does either! I wish I would have read the reviews before as well! And I see now, that I am not the only person dealing with the same issues.

I will ensure that everyone I know does not purchase from this site. Trust me, I will continue to request a refund, or at least the option to sell MY TICKETS that I have purchased.

Sincerely,
One VERY UNHAPPY customer

If you could change one thing I would ask if you could get rid of printing the tickets and just use my smart phone

Speed of order and low cost. Easy of use. This is too many characters to ask in a review. This will be the last time I do this type of review.

I downloaded the app and it was very easy to purchase tickets quickly. The ability to store tickets on my phone helped a lot.

Is there a way to have the tickets go straight to your mobile device? All I found was E-print and I had to print them out and take them each time.

Hey Cody, thanks for reaching out to us! We'd be happy to help with your question.

The short answer is: Sometimes.

The long answer is: We really want for every ticket out there to be able to be scanned on your phone, but that's not actually our call to make. Whether or not a given ticket can be scanned for entry depends on the venue itself - what kind of software, hardware, and policies they have. Some venues are totally happy with the QR codes we generate for their tickets, but if we aren't sure that you'll be able to get in, we don't want to risk you missing out on an event because you don't have your ticket printed! So, in cases where we are uncertain, we turn off our QR codes and instruct you to print your tickets instead.

We think the majority of venues out there like mobile entry and want to support it, so we hope it's only a matter of time until everyone is all caught up and you can use your tickets to get in anywhere, straight from the SeatGeek app. Until then, we'll keep giving you a heads up and telling you how to your seats with as little fuss as possible. If you ever have any questions about whether a venue will take mobile entry or not, please don't hesitate to email or call us and we'll be glad to look into it with you.

Best site for tickets. I like that the site shows the price, fees included. No surprises at checkout. Will continue purchasing tickets from SeatGeek.

Typically always has the best prices for tickets. Wish it had more promo codes for returning users. Nonetheless, SeatGeek is my go-to for tickets.

I did not get the tickets that I was promised. We stood outside Coors Field and was told that the original Seller would Not Release the Tickets that I had paid for Months In Advance! Your Rep did come up with other Tickets that were Cheaper than the Ones I had purchased. I have not received my Money Back. Is this the Way You Conduct Business. You stated that You preview and that ALL Sales are Confirmed! Yet You Allowed this Seller to Steal our Tickets and Sell them to another Buyer? So We were told that other Seats were available if that would be alright. Now We had Flown from SC to Denver for the Game only to find out the Seller would not release the original Seats Row 38 1&2 but Now after the Game has started We could get Row 30 5&6 which were in the Sun not under the Cover as the others were. Now Tell me Did You expect Us to MISS the Game because of the Screw-up by the Seller. There is also the difference in the Cost of the Tickets and SeatGeek said Oh You agreed on the other tickets Really What a BS statement. I did everything right and SeatGeek sided with the Seller Pityful!
