“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.

“Bogus tickets”

Kwan J.
11/25/24

Bought football game tickets for the Eagles and Rams yesterday (11/24/24), tickets were sent and available in my seat geek app. We get to the stadium and the tickets are invalid. We talk to box office and someone has already used the tickets earlier so we're SOL. We waste the entire first quarter waiting in line to resolve the issue and the first half chatting with customer service. I contacted seat geek and they say they'll investigate but it'll take 5 days. Completely unacceptable. Because we'd traveled and were already at the stadium, we bought separate tickets at the box office but the only ones left were at the very top row in a corner section. What was supposed to be a fun night at the game turned into a nightmare and the entire night was ruined. Buying with seat geek is not worth the risk, you could end up out of money with no tickets.

Have used the app before, and its been by far the easiest and fastest way to get tickets. Prices have been the best too, when compared with other sites/apps.

I have not received my tickets and it's the day of the concert. I have written to them and I was told they will be delivered to me. Nothing yet. I can't believe it.

I purchased 2 tickets for my young kids in tow 22. I needed one ticket behind them in row 23. I was unable to purchase one ticket. Had to buy 2 more. Very frustrating.

Hey Stefani, thanks for sharing your experience! I'd be happy to help shed some light on what happened here.

When selling tickets on SeatGeek, sellers are able to adjust split settings by setting rules on what quantity of tickets out of the group can be sold together. This is typically done to avoid a situation where a seller is stuck with a single hard-to-sell ticket. So in this instance, if a seller has two tickets, they may change their settings so that those tickets can only be sold together and not separated, because the chances of them being able to sell both tickets together is much higher than if they allowed them to be sold singly.

As a buyer, the best way to avoid ordering from a listing that does not allow splits is to filter your search by Quantity before selecting a listing. This way, you will only see listings from sellers that can sell in the quantity you desire.

We hope this helps give you some more options for next time! If you have any other questions about how to get the best experience out of SeatGeek, please do not hesitate to let us know.

I don't think the fee you attach of almost 20 bucks is necessary. Why do you add that on the price of the ticket? Don't you think we pay enough to see concerts nowadays?

We get to see the view from the seats we chose in advance, and compare prices throughout the stadium. I am guaranteed to feel like I am not being ripped off!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
