“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

Seemed to have the best deal or cheapest fees out of other ticket sites. Very fast and easy to use.

It doesn't get much better than watching UVA play basketball and SeatGeek made the ticket purchase easy and affordable.

This site is a scam. They wont answer calls or respond to emails. Lets file a class action lawsuit.

I trust SeatGeek with my credit card information. It is efficient and I LOVE the fact that the price they give you is the price with no hidden fees!

I purchased tickets to Lakers@ Heat in Miami on Sunday. The seller canceled the ticket and I was forced to purchase inferior seats.

My email account got hacked, so I lost every email in my inbox and trash folders. Unfortunately, this included my tickets purchased through seatgeek.
Unlike every other ticket provider, seatgeek does not give you access to your tickets on their website. They'll send you an email with your tickets and that's that. This is where everything went wrong.

At 8:30 in the morning ON THE DAY OF THE EVENT I HAD TICKETS FOR, I emailed seatgeek asking them to re-send my tickets. I went through all the extra info they needed to screen me, etc. By 2pm I hadn't heard anything, so I reached out again---PLEASE NOTE, THERE IS NO WAY TO CALL THEM, EITHER---THIS IS BY DESIGN, I'M SURE.
They emailed me back at 3pm and said they had to reach out to the vendor I bought my tickets from, and would be in touch.
Well, the event I was going to started in a few hours so time was short. And it sure as hell wasn't a priority to seatgeek.
Finally, at 6:30pm I got tired of waiting and ordered the same tickets for the same event through StubHub.
And Stubhub emailed me my tickets, but also kept them available to me on their website.
For some STUPID, RIDICULOUS REASON, seatgeek doesn't do that.
It ended up costing me an additional $175 to buy the same seats from another ticket agency.
I *will never* use seatgeek again.

Tip for consumers:
DO
NOT
USE
SEATGEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ended up going with Stubhub---b/c they are reliable.

This was the first time I'd used SeatGeek outside of Sounders games and it was fast, painless and the tickets were cheaper than on other services.

Kansas City Chiefs lost, still a good time. The NFL Playoff atmosphere at Arrowhead Stadium was fantastical.
