World Series
November 1, 2018

18 inning game with a Dodgers win. Worth every penny. The opportunity of a lifetime came along and I took it. This is the single greatest thing I have ever done or been to. Something like this may never happen again in my lifetime.

Bait and Switch -- Sky High Fees Added Last Minute
November 14, 2021

I went through the process of purchasing two tickets to a show which were listed at $116 each. Up until the last screen, the price was $232.00. Just before completing my purchase, they added fees of $44.00 for each ticket... totaling $88.00 in fees which were not expected, and with tax the total was $324.00. They are very dishonest using this bait and switch tactic.

Coming from out of town for and event. My purchase did not say immediate delivery, but telling they will arrive with 24 hours of the event is scary and not acceptable. What if i have no access to print? It's funny how they glorify instant delivery but but 24 hour rule somewhere different. Try contacting them all I got was a bot

I purchased seats for the Atlanta Hawks versus Milwaukee Bucks game for November 14 to celebrate my husband‘s birthday. As of today which is November 14 I still have not received the tickets. I have tried contacting seat geek by phone on the line 45 minutes no response. Call corporate office and left a message. And also sent numerous messages which receive responses which were not related to my original inquiry very disappointed!

Horrible experience. I purchased two tickets to the Islanders game but never received email confirmation. Finding seatgeek's phone number was a hassle in itself, but when I finally contacted them with my issue, they offered no solution to my problem besides "try purchasing them again". I even tried to buy another pair of tickets but the same thing happened. Seatgeek did not try to do anything to help me purchase the tickets, nor did they lock me in at the rate I originally tried to purchase them for. This company has horrible customer service and logistics. I suggest buying tickets elsewhere.

Hi there Rob, we definitely want to follow-up on this. Typically when orders are rejected, it's due to the fact that a user submitted an order for the same listing just prior to your order. We do allow up to 24 hours for our sellers to confirm or reject orders so they can be sure to double-check their available inventory. If you have any other questions, please let us know so we can be sure to help. You can reach us directly via email at hi@seatgeek.com.

Move over Stubhub, I am a SeatGeek convert
August 24, 2017

Very user friendly. Do wish they had a few more sort options though, like sort by lowest row. But I love the upfront pricing. Its nice not to be surprised by "resort" fees to use a Hotel industry irritating reference. I love that what I see, is what I am paying and I don't have to play mind games while deciding. Great job SeatGeek. The way ticket buying should be.

Nervous
October 11, 2015

I am actually very nervous because I just bought two tickets from them before reading reviews. I had an iffy feeling when my email took a while to send me the tickets so I hopped on here and I'm extremely scared of what is going to happen tonight. I have my tickets printed out but I've heard of a lot of experiences with duplicate tickets where the seller will enter first and of course since mine would be the duplicate I could not enter. So I will hope for the best and post an update review about my experience.

They're a scam
May 26, 2017

They are quite deceptive in their tactics. I purchased tickets and was not given the seat numbers ahead of time but was assured the seats would be together. I printed my tickets today to discover that they are not in fact together and are in separate rows. Customer service is a joke. I did find a number online but spent 20+ minutes on hold before speaking with a person who claims someone else will be calling me. They completed cheated me out of my money and accept no responsibility. I am speaking with my bank now about disputing the charge as they did not produce the goods I agreed to pay for. Do not use Seat Geek!

Nikki at Seatgeek is the best!
August 27, 2017

After an issue of lost or misplaced tickets and talking with numerous representatives time and time again, Nikki took it upon herself to ensure my tickets were replaced. I cannot thank her enough for personally taking time out of her schedule and contacting the initial seller so that I received my tickets on time. Guys you don't understand... I went thru hell before she took this task on her shoulders. This isn't necessarily a compliment towards Seatgeek because as I stated, I went thru numerous representatives who basically passed the buck and continuously gave me the runaround. But it was Nikki who made things happen. After talking to her, I received updated emails on the progress of obtaining my tickets which cost me about $2000. Can't thank her enough.

I bought 4 tickets for a Savannah Bananas game. The game was rained out after only 2 innings. The team has announced that the game won't be rescheduled. Under the refund policy that's on Seatgeek's website, they "guarantee" that they will refund or credit the purchase price for games that are cancelled and not rescheduled. They refuse to do so, despite the fact that I have provided them with both a screenshot of the announcement on the team's Facebook page and an email from the team's ticket office confirming the cancellation and no reschedule. Seatgeek does not provide the guarantee that it says it does.

Tried to obtain Springsteen On-Broadway tickets today (June 10,2021). I was placed in a queue at 11:00 am for a noon sale time. At 10:30 pm I am still in queue. It is not my equipment. I have no response from Seatgeek customer service. The absolute worst ticket agency. Bruce Springsteen's management should not allow this to happen.

You cannot find out anything about status of your tickets or if your credit card has been charged. No phone # to call. I have purchased many tickets from other sites without any problem. They can't even answer my email in a timely manner. Stock email saying we will get back to you. The game I purchased is tomorrow. How long do I wait!
NEVER USE SEATGEEK!

My friend wanted to join me to a sold out show in Philadelphia. So he bought a 60 something dollar ticket through SeatGeek. I knew it was too good to be true. And when they scanned the ticket-- it was used already. What a horrible thing to happen! After talking to the door guy about this-- he mentioned that twelve people had to leave because of the same situation. Super lame, #SeatGeek.

Updated:
SeatGeek took care of this by taking off the amount for the tickets. So thank you for that. But that doesn't make it better-- my friend still had to leave that night. The ticket was still a fraud. So I'm not changing my rating.

Good Site, Faulty Link, High Fees
November 21, 2019

I love the seat geek website. Functions like: view of the best deals, and the view of the seats are great for ticket purchasing decisions.

It would be cool if in this view you could see the other seat prices based on where it is in the stadium.

I received a disjointed link from the 589-88 number (see attached).

Also, the fees are very high $10+ per ticket ($40 ticket).

Identity theft
October 23, 2017

It may be unrelated, but within 30 minutes of buying my tickets, three attempts were made to use the same credit card. I did not make those attempts. I had not used that cc in over a month prior to the SeatGeek purchase.

Not what I expected
November 1, 2018

I've been disappointed with seat geek lately realizing after purchases that I get to print tickets from third party app or sites that i could have gotten the same tickets at a better
Price from them directly. I will now check SeatGeek but shop for tickets elsewhere

They are a scam
September 29, 2023

Did a return on tickets for a concert for $650.00. It was still in the time frame to do a return. I followed there instructions. They said within 24 hours you would get word. Nothing but crickets. Looking at my seatgeek i still have the tickets. Thanks Seat Geek. I will never spend any money with your company and will give a bad review on every site. This not how you do business. But since this is how you do business, you don't care for customers and the hard-earned money they have worked for. Stay away from this site, it is terrible.

Holding Money Hostage!
October 10, 2023

I ordered tickets as soon as they went on sale for Aerosmith in Philadelphia (first show) on September 2. Ask me if I received my tickets? Nope -- Now ask me if I've gotten my refund? Nope! They're still holding my money -- today is October 10. I gave them all the screen shots, emails, and conversation they asked for All I'm getting back is "we need to look into it". Its $1200. I don't know about anyone reading this, but I don't have $1200 extra to wait months for a refund. I will NEVER go to Seat Geek again - be cautious people. Be VERY cautious!
