Jaguars versus Cardinals
September 28, 2017

It was very simple to purchase tickets. Hopefully we have good seats at a reasonable price. There is a toll-free number if you have problems purchasing your tickets on their easy app

Easy as 123
October 8, 2017

Very easy to find my seat and love seeing the picture of the field before you purchase. It was exactly from that spot. Once I purchased I got it within an hour.

Super convenient
November 2, 2018

Sellers fees/buyers fees a bit excessive for higher priced tickets but it's great otherwise. Easy to access your e-tickets and get scanned in the venue. Everything is streamlined and easy to use.

Waiting on refund
June 15, 2022

How is a company not going to have an active customer service phone number? Ive been waiting on a refund for a concert that was cancelled in June of 2020 because of covid. First email said they were waiting for a postponned event. A later email stated that the concert was cancelled and I would recieve a refund that could take up to 3 months. Still have not received a refund. And it was almost a $300 purchase. Ive sent several emails since that is the only way to get ahold of this company in any way. It said I would receive a response within 24 hours and has been months ago. They do not respond and do not communicate in any way. This is a horrible way to run a business. There was never a concert so refund the money already.

Stressful for last minute purchases
October 2, 2017

I purchased tickets on Friday night for a Saturday mid-day baseball game. I planned to walk through the gates at 11:30am. I was driving 2 hours to the stadium from my home. I did not receive my tickets until 10am. I was stressed about it, and I emailed Seatgeek to see where the tickets were. I did not get a response until the same time that my tickets came in to my email.

That was not great, but what made it worse, was that I purchased the tickets on Seatgeek, but then I had to sign up for fanexchange to get the tickets. Once I did that, the tickets then had to be transferred by another account on ticketmaster. The entire process was more complicated than needed, and I will probably look to use another company to get last minute tickets.

Hi Keith — thank you for your feedback! We do apologize that your first ticket purchasing experience was not a smooth process. Recent changes to ticket formats across some venues have resulted in tickets having to be delivered externally of our own platform. Our team is working to be able to minimize the complexity and confusion of dealing with multiple platforms in order to receive your tickets, and there will definitely be some improvements coming to this process.

Again, thank you for taking the time to provide us with feedback. If you'd like to reach out to us any further, feel free!

No Problems
September 29, 2017

No problems whatsoever. Site worked. Tickets were real. Tickets scanned in the app. Wish tickets could be transferred to Apple Wallet, but thats a minor gripe.

I ordered tickets for a concert and never received them. I got an email saying to watch out for another email/link to get my tickets but it never came. I downloaded the apps, still no tickets. Worst of all, I have spent hours in chats with representative, sent them screen shots, etc. still nothing. DO NOT ORDER TICKETS THROUGH SEAT GEAK!

This is the second time purchasing tickets. It is super easy and always cheaper than anywhere else. I searched all other available sellers prior to purchasing.

I thought the tickets I purchased were very reasonably priced, and so easy to get. My daughter and her friends have enjoyed each concert they've attended.

Can I choose no stars?
January 2, 2018

I bought ticket 3 tickets for an NFL playoff game at $130 a piece. I received a confirmation email and my check account was debited. After making travel arrangements, I received an email 2 days later saying the tickets were no longer available. I believe it was because the tickets had spiked in those 2 days to $460 a piece and the seller would rather get hit with the minimal fees that SeatGeek hits them with instead of selling the tickets to me at the agreed upon price. I WOULD NEVER USE SEATGEEK IN THE FUTURE IF I THOUGHT THAT THE TICKETS MIGHT GO UP IN VALUE BECAUSE THE SELLER CAN SIMPLY DECLINE THE SALE WITHIN 24 HOURS AND SEATGEEK DOES NOTHING TO HELP YOU OUT. I had several friends who used Ticketmaster and StubHub for the event and had no problems. I cannot afford the tickets at $460 a piece, so I will not be able to watch my first Buffalo Bills playoff game in 17 YEARS because of this oversight.

Hi Drew, thank you for bringing this to our attention. We take matters concerning the various vendors who list on SeatGeek very seriously, and we appreciate any comments that customers can provide about their experiences on our site - whether they are positive or negative.

If you can send our support team any additional information in regard to your interaction with TicketNetwork, I would really appreciate it. In order to provide a better marketplace, we are constantly working with our customers and our vendors to improve the ticket buying experience on SeatGeek. If a specific issue becomes a trend with a vendor, we will remove their listings. We will follow up with the vendor directly to make sure that they are aware of the issue at hand and the negative experience it has created.

Although this does not erase the poor experience you had, your feedback will allow us to improve user experience. Ultimately, we hope to create a better system where this does not happen. Again, we're sorry this has occurred.

Disappointed with the Stress of selling on SeatGeek
September 6, 2017

Had a hard time trying to convert PDF to be able to sell tickets at the stadium in AZ. Finally gave up and tried to sell the original tickets that I purchased from SeatGeek. Very frustrated, there was no copy to PDF on my IPhone.

Do not use or trust SeatGeek
Do not use or trust SeatGeek. I purchased tickets from them based on their listing that the tickets were located in the 1914 Club at Wrigley Field.

When I received the tickets, they were not located in the 1914 Club at Wrigley.

I contacted SeatGeek multiple times asking them to honor their "Buyer Guarantee". They refused to honor or even acknowledge the "Buyer Guarantee". (Which is listed on their website)

They expected me to chase down 3rd party sellers of the tickets even though I found the tickets on SeatGeek and purchased them on their web site. SeatGeek did not lift a finger. This was a terrible customer service.

Again, do not trust SeatGeek. They offer absolutely no remedy if you do not receive the actual tickets from their web site.

Hey Mike,

So looking at your order this was purchased using our platform but purchased from Ticket Network. When you select a listing it shows who the seller of the ticket is. Most of our tickets are branded as SeatGeek or Marketplace (marketplace being tickets listed by fellow users) but others can be listed by Ticket Network, Eventbrite, or other third party partners.

As they use their own payment processors for the orders, they are not backed by the guarantee nor can we process any refunds for those orders. We are happy always to make sure you get connected with them should you have any issue!

In orders that we handle the processing on, which is the bulk of our listings the guarantee is in effect and we can refund, find comparable tickets, or otherwise assist.

Warm Regards,

SeatGeek CX Team

I used seatgeek to find an affordable set of tickets for the recent UFC event, and I did, for good seats too. So I got everything I wanted from the site, like I always have since I started using the service.

Tickets

Very convenient and easy to use. Not having to print tickets is a plus too! Just pull out your smart phone and they scan it just like a ticket. I wish the fees were cheaper though.

Don't ever use this biz all they do is use Ticket master and charge you 3x fees. Do yourself a favor and just use ticker TM could of saved myself $120 on the same exact seats.

Mariners at Yankees on June 21
June 19, 2018

I am getting concerned. I bought these tickets three days ago and they are still listed as XFER MOBILE DELIVERY. I need to print or have them available mobile today or tomorrow please and I don't know how to access the tickets. If they are coming from another provider, I don't know who that is and why I haven't heard from them yet. I was expecting an email notification from a third party, but we are now 4 days and counting...
