“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.

The ease of buying the tickets was simple enough but we paid $10 in fees for $15 tickets. Ended up paying $50 for 2 $15 tickets.

Hey there,

We understand sometimes that fees can come as a surprise, we do our best to be competitive if not the best prices on the secondary market for tickets. As such we offer a pricing matching guarantee if you find the same ticket cheaper anywhere else and email us the information at Support@SeatGeek.com.

Another feature we offer, is the ability to search with fees included. By clicking this you won't be surprised at checkout as we will show all our listings with the fees included so you know exactly what the price will be!

Hope this helps,

SeatGeek CX Team

They make it very difficult to get your money after a sale and do not work with you to make sure you get it. Very unprofessional, be careful!

Hi Jay, sorry if you never received our response to your email. It looks like you'd entered invalid bank information. But once you update that payout information on your account, the payout will be sent right away! If you have any questions about how or need help, let us know. We're always willing to do what we can to make sure sellers are paid for their sales!

Buyer beware: There are fraudulent tickets on SeatGeek and I would check who the secondary broker is before you buy. Companies such as UberSeat, TicketCity, FX, TN Direct list tickets on SeatGeek and have different policies on refunds. I ran into issues at recent a Coldplay concert after outlaying $450 for two separate set of tickets which were both fraudulent. To be fair, SeatGeek did refund the amount for the first set and replaced the second set of tickets in time for the concert. I am now facing a similar issue with another concert coming up (Tickets were bought before the Coldplay experience) and SeatGeek has not responded to my last three emails and told me to contact the secondary broker. Not good enough, I purchased the tickets from SeatGeek and I expect them to deal with the issue or refund my money. This company is trying to do the right thing although you could easily find yourself dealing with a secondary company and out of pocket if you are not careful.

Updated; Buy with full confidence. SeatGeek responded with full assurance that if the ticket were invalid they would find replacement tickets or reimburse the value. In any case, this was not required as the tickets were valid and represented excellent value compared to what they were selling for on other sites. I had also purchased a day pass for a major music festival on SeatGeek from Ticket City which was delivered by FedEx in plenty of time for the event and gained access with no issue. The SeatGeek customer service representative, Zach, was awesome and responded in a timely fashion every time. Really impressed after initial concerns and will be using SeatGeek again.

Kash, thank you for taking the time to write this review. You are absolutely right that SeatGeek is a platform for sellers to list their tickets. We have the SeatGeek Marketplace, which allows for anyone to sell tickets that they may not be able to use anymore. We are also an aggregate search engine that shows listings from hundreds of ticketing companies. We believe that ticket buying should be easy, so we work to show customers as many ticket buying options as possible, as well as providing a deal score so that customer can take many things into consideration before making their purchase. We have very strict agreements with any seller whose listings show up on SeatGeek, part of that involves holding our vendors accountable and making sure they back up their orders with full guarantees and full refunds for customers who have problems at their event.
