“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.

“Bogus tickets”

Kwan J.
11/25/24

Bought football game tickets for the Eagles and Rams yesterday (11/24/24), tickets were sent and available in my seat geek app. We get to the stadium and the tickets are invalid. We talk to box office and someone has already used the tickets earlier so we're SOL. We waste the entire first quarter waiting in line to resolve the issue and the first half chatting with customer service. I contacted seat geek and they say they'll investigate but it'll take 5 days. Completely unacceptable. Because we'd traveled and were already at the stadium, we bought separate tickets at the box office but the only ones left were at the very top row in a corner section. What was supposed to be a fun night at the game turned into a nightmare and the entire night was ruined. Buying with seat geek is not worth the risk, you could end up out of money with no tickets.

Purchasing our tickets went very smoothly. Very quick and clear. Was easy to go paperless with phone. Photos of seat views are somewhat helpful.

Quick and cheap. No issues at the stadium with tickets. They provide a receipt and records just in case there is an outstanding issue.

Great experience with the seller and tickets came as expected. (100 characters seems a little excessive, just trying to give a good review.)

Sold me fraudulent tickets. Ruined my kids first baseball game experience. Buy your tickets from a trustworthy source. This is most definitely it.

Hi there,

Thanks so much for the feedback, and we're so sorry that you had trouble with the tickets your purchased on our site. It's super rare that tickets purchased from SeatGeek don't work, and we obviously take it very seriously when that's the case! We looked into the order number you referenced, and see that some of our agents were able to work with you, and refund this order at 120% of the purchase price. Whenever we can, if we hear from folks at the event, we do our best to source replacement tickets when something like this (rarely) occurs, but failing that, we definitely refund the order at 120%.

Again, we know it's totally unacceptable when there's an issue with the tickets at the gate, but we're really glad we were able to take care of and compensate you for this issue.

Please don't hesitate to reach back out to our team if you have any outstanding questions about this or any other order with us. We're here to help however we can, seven days a week.

Site is intuitive and easy to use but fees came in at 33+% of the ticket price, that seems pretty steep to me.

Hi Alex,

Thank you for taking the time to write in. Fees are the worst part of buying tickets, there's no denying it. We try to keep our fees to no more than 20% whenever possible, but there are factors that can cause fees to end up higher. We use the fees we get to improve our platform, maintain our marketplace, employ our customer service team, and such.

While fees are always going to be necessary, we do try to make sure our prices are the best out there. That's why we offer a price match. If you find the tickets cheaper on another secondary marketplace, we will give you a promo code for 110% of the difference!

Best wishes,
SeatGeek CX Team

Prices were second to none. Fees are much less than competition. Tickets were on my phone in a matter of seconds after payment.
