Absolutely do not buy tickets from SeatGeek. Sold my tickets from underneath me twice and completely ruined my daughters birthday. Lied to me for two months straight right until the last minute. Concert is sold out had to cancel our entire trip because they wanted to make an extra buck. Teenage daughter is crying herself to sleep as I am writing this.

DO NOT use this service! We paid for tickets we never received. Seatgeek is really good at taking your money but terrible at actually giving you what you paid for. We have called everyday and all they tell us is that the tickets have been transferred and that they will "reach out to the seller and get an update. And then nothing. No call back, follow up, and NO tickets. Worst customer service ever. We will NEVER use seatgeek again. Use vivid or stub hub they are much safer.

If I could give SeatGeek 0 stars, I would. I have been promised a full refund on my credit card for over 3 months now because the hockey game I bought tickets for was cancelled. I have messaged them and emailed them way too many times, and they're all so fake with me. Pretending they care and that they're going to do all they can to help me. They just pretend, and they're not trustworthy. So disappointed. I never complain like this but waiting for your money back when you were promised is honestly so discouraging.

Stupid simple and convenient
May 29, 2018

I enjoy going to baseball games and live shows often so when an app can help facilitate the purchase of a ticket in a cost-effective and time effective manner I'm all about it. Thanks for making it stupid simple and painless:-)

A long time, customer never had a problem... until recently. An expensive ticket purchase with a prime seat assignment turned out to be a General Admission event. SeatGeek didn't reveal until AFTER the purchase. Their customer service is non existent, don't publish a support number, only email. The person on the other end was clearly not equipped with the skills or the information to keep a loyal customer. Fortunately there are other options, I will now go out of my way to avoid using this search engine.

Ticket Stress
November 4, 2018

I was not sent digital download even though I ordered from my phone. Had to go to the box office. To top it off, we missed the first 3 goals of the game! Happened like that. It by far, the worst experience I've ever had with seat geek and I think I will be moving back to Stub Hub or see what this Gametime is all about. Sorry.

Easy Peasy
June 28, 2019

What could be easier than sitting at your computer and buying MLB tickets for a game thousands of miles away and have a service that rates the purchase as an "awesome" deal. Doesn't get much better than that in my opinion.

Despicable company
January 27, 2017

This company is by far the most despicable incompetent company I have ever dealt with. There is never a manager or supervisor to speak to you after one month of speaking back-and-forth with them they cannot get in contact with their vendor and ignore all communications from me the buyer. Take your business somewhere else this company is an absolute disgrace

Terrible Experience
February 15, 2019

Purchased seats through Seat Geek. Dallas concert was just re-scheduled from February 2019 to June 2019 so that they can film it for Netflix. So now I am stuck with $400 of tickets that I cant use. My only option is to try to figure out how to possibly resale them. A royal pain.

Hey There!

We can definitely understand your frustrations with the event getting rescheduled like this. As we are a secondary marketplace we are a bit limited on when we can and cannot offer refunds. In the event the event is rescheduled and the original tickets will be honored, we have to honor that sale as well. It's on in events where the box office is offering refunds as the event is fully canceled that we can offer a refund.

That said, we are more then happy to assist in getting your tickets listed for sale so you can recoup the costs. If you are truly in a position where you are unable to resell, we are also more then happy to discuss if there are any options available to you.

We can be reached at support@seatgeek.com or via phone at (888)506-4101

Warm Regards,

SeatGeek

Fast, easy, best value
March 29, 2019

Seatgeek's easy system of finding the best prices for events has been great for me. I've used it primarily for baseball and hockey tickets. Their system of using the little colored circles tells you what kind of deal you're getting (recently got a 9.2 "amazing deal!"), and they always have gotten my tickets to me quickly and painlessly. My favorite part is that they include all the fees in the price shown, instead of having you click all the way to checkout only to find that you've got an extra $10-$20 in fees. It makes the experience much quicker and easier. I always recommend this site and will continue to do so.

I've used Seatgeek probably 8-10 times for baseball games and I've never had a problem. Consistently cheaper than stubhub and they show you the full price up front, rather than adding hidden "convenience fees" etc

Thank you

A huge thank you to everyone who has wrote a review. I will not be purchasing tickets through here for my husbands birthday. I am very happy I read reviews before going ahead and purchasing. It really sucks that this company does business this way.

Hockey Tickets
January 23, 2019

I've used Seat Geek 5 times now for tickets to the Buffalo Sabres hockey games. Each time has been flawless! I receive the tickets exactly as it states. Either right away if the game is soon or when they will be released as noted in the listing. Never an issue what so ever. They are my "go to" for tickets. Reasonably priced fees included up front so the amount in my cart is the amount. No hidden fees.

Well done!

Great Experience
June 11, 2018

Great Experience purchasing tickets from Seat Geek. Price was really good, just like the rating system showed. Only giving a four star due to having to purchase 6 tickets when I only needed 5. No area where I could select just 5. Regardless of that, we had a Great Time at a San Francisco Giants game. And yes they won!

Best Price for Tickets Online
February 8, 2018

As always, SeatGeek has the best prices for event tickets. Transactions are simple and you get a glimpse of where your seats are located inside the arena.

I also like the specifics about ticket delivery. It's clearly described how the tickets will be delivered (Flash Seats, print, e-ticket, etc).

Worst customer policy
March 22, 2023

Worst customer policy in my life. Bought two tickets. The performer postponed the concert. No new dates are posted. Contacted customer service. The only thing they said, they can't refund because if you buy it no refund. You can try to sell them. But I can't even do that because no new dates. They told me to contact the performer? Like wth is that my job? I guess I lost my money. Never again. DONT PURCHASE from them.

We bought two tickets thru SeatGeek that went through ticketnetwork.com. Received an email confirming the Two Playoff tickets for the Buffalo Bills playoff game. It said Thank you very much for contacting us. I'm very happy to let you know that your order went through and that it's been Accepted by the ticket seller. I've pasted your order information below for your records. Then two days later received and email that they are not available. This is after we have purchased 2 RT airfare tickets from Roc. When we called they just tried to sell me two more that were double of what I paid. Would not do anything not even waive the service fees on the new purchase. This was A terrible and costly experience. Very disappointed.

Purchased tickets for Lady Gaga in Atlanta for my daughters. Received all notification the transaction was complete, my credit card was charged, the tickets were accepted. They were never transferred to my Ticketmaster account in order to access via mobile app, spent two days on the phone with customer service. They acknowledge I did buy them, they can see them in their system. Stay as far away from this company as possible... do not use them! Still fighting for my refund, the management is a joke.

High fees
May 12, 2019

App is convenient, but SeatGeek taking 30% on every transaction is ridiculous. When teams sign exclusive partnerships with SeatGeek, it makes it very difficult for other reselling sites to compete and offer lower fees.

First off, thank you so much for reviewings our platform. It really helps us out to receive your feedback, and we so appreciate you taking the time to let us know about your experience with us.

We can understand the disappointment you have with fees being charged for your tickets. We know that tickets can already be expensive and with the added fees you want to be sure you are getting a decent value out of your tickets. Unfortunately fees are are pretty unavoidable, we do try to be upfront with our fee pricing and strive to outdo other platforms you may use. We do our best to make sure that the fees we charge are fair, but also enough that we can cover the costs of our services, as well as to continue making the improvements on the things that we feel make us the best ticket-buying experience out there!

We honestly do value your feedback and if there is anything else you feel we can be doing or help improve our fee setup, please reach out to us at 888.506.4101 or email us at hi@seatgeek.com

Warm Regards,

SeatGeek CX Team

The rating system for SeatGeek is completely bogus. The logarithms used to created them are faulty and not credible, in my direct and personal experience. Where I know the stadium and seating experience, SeatGeek gives higher color ratings to directly comparable, poorer seats that are selling for less than the seats they rate as a "better buy". Advice, go to StubHub or Ticketmaster and do you work there. Forget about this system because it is unreliable.

Hi Dallas, we're sorry to hear that. We factor in lots of things while calculating deal score, and we're always tinkering to make it better. Some of the factors that influence Deal Score are: historical ticket prices for the performer and the venue, the row location, the expected sightline from the section, and the quality of the other available tickets for the event.

If you really like math and want to learn more about Deal Score, head here: http://chairnerd.seatgeek.com/the-math-behind-ticket-bargains/

Overview

SeatGeek has a rating of 2.2 stars from 2,558 reviews, indicating that most customers are generally dissatisfied with their purchases. Reviewers dissatisfied with SeatGeek most frequently mention customer service, credit card and phone number. SeatGeek ranks 16th among Concert Tickets sites.
