“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.

Anytime I want to see a concert a game or any event I go to SeatGeek. The app isn't very easy to use and they always have the best prices.

Easy fast and great prices! No need to have a paper ticket. Your phone and the bar code on it is your ticket.

Good seats, good God the fees... Fees were a sizable proportion of total cost. App did not reflect total costs with deal score.

Used the app to buy Pirates tickets. The fees were visible and much cheaper than some of the other ticket apps I've used.

I bought a parking pass for the game and they would not allow me to use just the bar code. They wanted the full ticket. So I was not able to park

Hi Jarrod,

A mentioned in the private message to you, we have refunded this order in full.

We are very sorry the venue would not let you use the pass and barcode as you didn't have a physical ticket. We were unaware that would be the case. After speaking with you and investigating we have refunded this order in full. You will see that back on the card you used in 3 to 5 business days.

Warm Regards,

SeatGeek CX Team
