“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.

Great seats. Good value. Easy purchase. Easy to retrieve the tickets in my phone. Just wish the Falcons won! Other than that - no issues.

I recently used seat geek and found that their website was easy to use and mobile friendly. Not to mention seats were fairly priced.

Purchased Bears tickets to be from Santa & then my family got COVID, so I knew we wouldn't make the game. Was very disappointed with support for many reasons. What looked like should have been an easy option of reposting my tickets on their site was not possible because they couldn't verify my bank account within two weeks. Why couldn't they put any sale funds back to the credit card I used to purchase the tickets originally?

Also frustrating, it was difficult to find online articles explaining how I could get the ticket bar code information to post the tickets on another site (Ticketmaster or Stubhub). After being on the phone for half hour, I finally got to a representative that could explain to me how to see the bar code values (had to click into each ticket one more time on their app).

Know that my getting COVID was not their fault, but didn't feel like much of a valued customer that there was nothing they could do for me except make it super difficult to repost the tickets on another vendor's site.

Tip for consumers:
Reselling them on SeatGeek will require extra time for them to verify your bank account.

Products used:
Chicago Bears tickets (didn't end up using them)

There is virtually no customer service in place for this company. I just filed a BBB against Seat Geek and my next recourse is to file a lawsuit.

Went to ER for health concerns and tested positive for COVID. Provided proof from USC Keck. Basically, SeatGeek could care less if I go and infect others. AVOID THEM!

Tip for consumers:
Avoid if possible!

I use the app to check ticket prices for local events on a regular basis. I like how it shows the prices after fees so there are no surprises.

I bought two $50 tickets, and there was a $14 service charge on each one. Insane and an absolute ripoff.

I find Seat Geek quicker and easier to navigate than its competitors - I find the fees attached easier to manage and I like the added benefit of knowing what is a good deal and what is not.

Hi Austin,

Glad that everything with the app worked quick and easy.

We do strive to keep our fees as low as possible and at least below or comparable to other ticket platforms. In fact, should you ever find tickets cheaper then what you got them for on SeatGeek we will match their prices to assure that you get to your event as cost effective as possible!
