“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.

Wow, they deal with criminals. They won't give you your money back if someone hacks your account. Use a credible site!

Everything is good except paying fees for e-mailed tickets. There is little overhead involved. Otherwise, the service is very user friendly.

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
