“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

Process for buying tickets is straightforward and it's easy to set the filters to get the range or type you want

Easy way to buy tickets and see the actual row you are sitting in before you buy. I would use again.

I would prefer if I didn't have to print out my tickets but I guess that depends on the event or who I'm buying them from

If you use SeatGeek then you will do so at your own peril and will be subject to lack of customer service and the selling of tickets using deception. I purchased nearly $5K of tickets for a prime sporting event three months in advance and SeatGeek did not adequately disclose that ticket delivery would be game day pickup only. Their position was that at an unknown point of time, an unknown seller, will contact via email (which could be directed to spam) and provide delivery of the tickets at an unknown location. They flat refused to identify the seller and allow me to make arrangements to have the ticket's delivered via registered mail to a post office box with insurance. Most companies in the industry will provide electronic delivery services and not force a "gameday situation that is totally FUBAR". To add to the misery, my purchase was a gift to a business associate and I had not planned to attend the event, therefore costing me a day's pay plus over six hours of driving expenses as I will not place this burden on a client. SeatGeek's customer service & ethics are totally unacceptable and I WILL NEVER USE THEM AGAIN UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!

I have always used Stubhub, however, I think SeatGeek might have lower prices and I like the way you can shop by the total seat price rather than guessing what you are spending.

I just wish that you could see exactly what seats you were buying - not just the row. For a theater it makes a big difference.

Hey There!

We completely feel the frustration with the change, MLB has started requiring the usage of their new MLB Ballpark app this season. Which means we need to fulfill orders through that app for many teams instead of directly in our own app.

Please know we are here to help with any confusion, you can call us at 888.506.4101 or email us a hi@seatgeek.com and one of our reps will make sure to help!

Warm Regards,

SeatGeek CX Team

Sad that you exploit multi days events. Can't buy two different days in one transaction. Extra $50 in ticket fees.

Hi Brennan,

Thank you for reaching out. Truly sorry for any initial confusion with the ticketing purchasing process. Kindly note, here at SeatGeek we're a marketplace, so there are many sellers/partners who seller through our site. It looks like you may have purchased two different tickets from two different sellers. Again, sorry for any confusion.

However, in regards to the fees we alway make sure that they're the industry norm. Ticketing fees are included in all ticket prices across the industry. Some companies include the pricing in their price without showing it upfront. Here at SeatGeek, we pride ourselves with being super transparent, which is why we have the option on the order page to look at prices with or without fees.

Again, apologies for any initial confusion. If you have any questions at all, please feel free to reach out to us at hi@seatgeek.com and we'll surely take care of you.

Stay Safe,
CX Team at SeatGeek
