“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.

“Total scam- they owe me $700 for invalid tickets”

Dawn H.
10/31/24

I purchased tickets from Seat Geek to Sabrina Carpenter two months prior to the show. I received the tickets via email and added them to my Ticketmaster account. Three hours prior to the concert I got a notification from Ticketmaster that the tickets were invalid. Seat Geek customer service was useless and we were unable to attend the show. I've now spent 18 days communicating with seat geek via email and phone in which I'm continually told their team is working on it. I'm out over $700 and this company has made no attempts to refund me despite their buyer guarantee. Horribly incompetent customer service, would never trust to buy from them again.

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.

None because I never got my tickets!!

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.

I purchased tickets to a concert with little hassle. I continue to be concerned with the rising price of fees. So I will shop around for the best price.

Beating the competition with prices! The price indicators whether the price is a deal or not are extremely helpful. The entire site is user friendly with easy access

I bought a parking pass for $118 I believe, when I got to the venue the same tickets were $45... for the exact same parking lot. Not sure why I had to pay double!

Hey Samantha,

We can definitely understand the frustrations you experienced here with pricing.

SeatGeek is a secondary ticket market. So we connect buyers such as yourself with sellers. Those sellers are allowed to set their pricing however they wish. That means the price they set will vary depending on what they believe people will pay. In some cases the box office or venue still has tickets, which is why parking at the event was the base price of $45.

SCAMMMM! Website malfunctioned and charged me $70 more in fees than was stated in the checkout payment authorization page. After HOURS with the chat support and uploading pictures of the page actively showing the glitched dollar amount, they refused to refund me or even reduce the fees to the amount the website stated it would charge. They took zero responsibility and only offered the solution of telling me to "resell my tickets" instead of handling the overpricing by refund. Worst Customer Service in history. They will not refund under any circumstances. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! YOU WILL REGRET IT!

Fees are understandable, but just a bit too high. That is all...
Except that you have a minimum characters for a response. That is just stupid. You required it, so there you have it.

Look I get it you got the contract but a captive audience where the seller pays you a commission and you charge a 25-30% is lame for both the seller and the buyer

* SeatGeek attempted to help this customer through the Sitejabber Resolution Center, but the customer did not respond

Hey Craig,

I can understand the frustration with fees! Unfortunately we need fees in order to stay in business, those go to maintain and update our platform and pay the team who works here at SeatGeek.

What I can say though is we try to make sure our fees are low and competitive, in fact, we offer price matching so if you can find the same tickets cheaper elsewhere we will give you a promo for 110% of the difference!

Warm Regards,
