“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.

“Charge buyers up to 40+%”

9/4/24

The seller pay 10% and buyers pay up to 40% and you don't see the break down unless you put in the search price without fees. Can't reach a human to speak with This is the official site of MLB contact you team to tell them that fans are being ripped off

Overall I thought it was great; once I created account, all I had to do was enter in a code and all my information was already out and made it super easy.

I ran into an issue (not with THIS purchase) where some fees were STILL hidden. I love "the GEEK" and will continue to use it. But I've learned to watch for pitfalls.

Hi Neil,

All of our fees should be upfront at checkout, or if you search with fees included show while you are still making your selection!

So glad that you love our platform, but we want to make sure it's the absolute best for you. I am going to send you a private message in addition to this reply and see if we can get that resolved for you!

Warm Regards,

SeatGeek CX Team

SeatGeek was very easy & convenient. Having tickets sent to phone made it very easy plus I went through Shopkicks & that gave me extra kicks through SeatGeek

I bought tickets that already had been sold and I had to contact the seller and I had to settle for the tickets the wanted to give me and not the ones I had bought

The views from the sections on your website are NOT HELPFUL! It requires a guess as to whether or not the seats you are buying are obstructed view. I was lucky- mine were not.

When I finally got my ticket and needed to accept it, I had to make maybe five accounts just to be able to accept it and until maybe an hour of time wasted it finally worked and the crazy thing is I still don't know why. But some of my friends weren't as lucky. For one of my friends it didn't work at all so we finally resorted to just calling up 212-Yankees (we were supposed to go to a Yankees baseball game) and after waiting on hold and speaking to an imbecile representative we were told nothing could be done we have to speak to seatgeek. So that's what we did and we were on the phone with dare I say the stupidest representative ever because possibly seatgeek might've hired someone stupider than him. We spoke to him for over an hour and a half and had enough of his repetitive reply of "that is the best I can do" or "that's your best option right now" we demanded to speak to a supervisor but to no avail we were transferred to an even stupider and ruder representative who even hung up on our faces. We ended up buying tickets direct from the Yankees Box Office which were cheaper and for about the same seats. So basically no seatgeek is not useful and I was extremely unsatissfied and this wasn't even the whole story this was the best I can do to sunmarize while pouring out all my anger and frustration in a matter of minutes

My SeatGeek account was hacked and someone took my $600 football game tickets. When I contacted SeatGeek they said there was nothing they could do and to contact my bank. My bank said that based on SeatGeeks' terms and conditions they were not able to refund me and told me to call SeatGeek back. I have spoken to 6 different representatives, all of which tell me a totally different story as to why I can't get a refund, and the last person I spoke with said they would get me a manager, which never happened. Here I am 48 hours later waiting to get a call because apparently the managers "don't have their own extension" just to retell my situation for the 7th time. That is a LOT of money that I lost thanks to this website and to no surprise they won't take accountability for their actions. It is absolutely RIDICULOUS that I have to go to such extreme measures when this website is the one at fault for not having proper security measures for their customers. I will never purchase anything from them again and will be posting this review on every site possible to ensure that anyone considering using this site turns away. If you are looking to buy tickets, use Ticketmaster and save yourself the struggle and time of dealing with such a sketchy company.

Tip for consumers:
TURN AWAY AND DON'T USE THIS SITE

Pretty easy to order online on computer but didn't realize one must have the APP to download tickets AND that tickets could not be printed. Only the OCR/barcode is acceptable.

The app is very easy to use. Picked up last minute tickets for a recent game and had them with just a few short minutes.

Simple. It finds local events in your area. Using the filters help sort out what you are looking for faster. Easy to pay and receive the tickets.

Purchased Dodger tickets, from two sellers, unfortunately it didn't allow me to do multiple orders so the second set of tickets were on another row.

I enjoy buying tickets thru SeatGeek. Easy to use, plenty of options for price and seat location. Plus they also have a great app for your phone.

The event is not until next week. I'm hoping it will go well, but it's too soon to rate the experience.

I wish you'd lower your fees.

The seat price is somewhat misleading because the sellers' fees are added on afterward. Ended up spending way more than I intended to spend.

Hey There,

We do offer an option that allows you to search listings with fees included. That way you will see exactly what the ticket will cost prior to getting to checkout and being able to avoid that sticker shock!

As someone who frequently goes to concerts, my favorite app to use is seatgeek. It's so easy and 9 times out of 10 they have the cheapest tickets.

Ticket price was good for my event, but the $48 surcharges will turn me away in the future from using your site. Sorry to say

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