“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.

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

Compare prices. SeatGeek is the best price for the same seats. Smooth checkout process and the tickets were delivered quickly.

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

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

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.
