You have to have the SG app, otherwise you won't be able to download your ticket.
That was unfortunate because that's how I missed the first 30 minutes of the game.

As someone who is not American and has never been to a football game before, the beginning is the most interesting part.

I tried repeatedly to download the app but it didn't work out. There was no other way to get the ticket. So I had to go to the box office at the stadium. That took forever.
I'm very disappointed and I'm angry at SeatGeek.

Terrible customer service.
September 20, 2016

I am without my ticket which is on a FedEx truck a thousand miles from where I am for the event. They will not answer the phone so you have no choice but to email them. They eventually reply but did not do as requested so now I've spent hundreds on a ticket I don't have. Find another company to get your tickets through.

Larceny
January 12, 2024

Deceptive, DOJ needs to know. Not reputable. Took money and no goods or services were delivered. I will not rest until Jack G is banned from doing any business and does not ever get another round of funding.

Fraud
March 24, 2017

Me and my husband as well as his twin brother and his wife as well as their older brother could not get into the blink 182 concert last night because our tickets were scanned as fraud.

Apart from that we had the same exact fraud confirmation number and we did NOT buy them together nor at the same time

On top of that all 5 tickets were under someone elses name. How can that be possible when we bought them separate and all have different names?

We just want our money back given us having to spend even more money at the door buying the tickets they had left. Absolutely terrible the employees at houston rodeo couldnt believe it, they all tried different scanners, entering the numbers manually in various computers, and all that kept being repeated is fraud.

Hi Martha--we definitely want to follow-up on this. It sounds like the purchases all came from the same seller. If this issue hasn't been appropriately addressed yet, please send a request to our Customer Support team at hi@seatgeek.com with your Order ID(s) so we can make sure to investigate and compensate you for any tickets that were invalid. We're sorry for the trouble, but we'll keep an eye out for our incoming request so we can be sure this is addressed right away!

They charged my card twice explaining that it was technical error. When I talked to customers service I hardly understood anything they were saying due to poor English of their staff.
Thee charged my card for 4 tickets instead of 2.They don't refund my money just gave me a promo code saying I can buy other tickets and sell them to get my cash back. Promo codes they gave me were not working when I was trying to buy any tickets just to sell them to get my money back. When I was trying to apply their promo code I just got messages that promo code was not valid.Their explanations are not clear because of staff poor English!
As a result I lost money and nobody is going to refund me….
I would not recommend anyone to use this site as I went through nightmares and still waiting for a phone call from management lol …. 2 weeks already and a supervisor was supposed to call me within few minutes…. 2 weeks ago.i had to change my credit card to prevent more charges
DON NOT USE THIS SITE

Used SeatGeek to purchase tickets to an NFL game this weekend. I was skeptical at first, since I saw negative reviews, but I'm glad I used them. Much better seats for a much better price than I found on StubHub. Received my tickets via email within the hour. Also really liked the way the site/app was set up so I could find the best seats in the price range I wanted. Will use them again.

I purchased tickets from Seat Geek on several occasions and they are inconsistent on delivery. I finally stopped using them when I did not receive any tickets at all and they would not provide any compensation. They instead chose to blame me and told me that I needed to ask a third party to figure it out. The third party told me to work with Seat Geek. Other devices such as Stub Hub are way better and simpler to use. Have a fun time at your concert!

Stay away
October 19, 2022

I can't believe these people are in business. We purchased tickets only to find out that the exact tickets are not in their position and their response was we will get you others and split your group of 6 instead of all together. When we ask for a refund so we can reorder with a far more reputable ticket broker, there response was NO. They said we know owned the tickets that did not exist. They also said that if we forced the issue on a refund that they will make us very "frustrated". Incredible that actually put that in writing and think they can get away with it. This is fraud of the worst kind. Amazing there is not more regulation in this industry. Stay away!

Great tickets, but fees are high
February 5, 2018

I got my tickets within 24 hours, However, I did not realize that the fees were per-ticket so it was a bit of a shock to see the total. Explaining what the total price (and not per ticket) would have earned a perfect 5-star score.

However, I missed out on getting the seats when they went on sale so I am happy to have gotten them.

Fraud! I would rate 0 stars if I could.
December 14, 2022

They took my money, then as I'm walking into the show with my daughter... they took the tickets away that they just sold me. You should have seen my daughters face.

Widespread fraud and this company should be shut down.

Worst customer service and way to gettickets
October 2, 2022

I ordered for the 1st time tickets from seat geek for monster jam.
The weird thing is they sent them from a random person's name dumb person's name see attached picture.
I spent days and hours trying to get my tickets put into the inbox. I also spent a lot of time with chat.
Also trying to get to a human person to talk about it. What a joke! I WORST CUSTOMER!
HORRIBLE APP.
I was going to cancel the tickets and dispute it with my credit card but it was for my 2 and a 1/2 year old boy who was looking forward to this event.
I would not recommend seat geek unless, you have no other alternative.

You might save, but your tickets might not work
September 14, 2017

The tickets sold are counterfeit sometimes. This leaves fans hanging at the gate. Seatgeek helped once and gave me good seats the day of, but what would happen in a sold out game? Fans should have this assurance.

Straight forward purchasing
April 16, 2019

The new experience of no paper tickets for our Oracle park purchase was slightly intimidating but the transaction was completed with only a minor email receipt delay. I definitely recommend SeatGeek to purchase tickets.

This is the place to buy tickets! Hands down the best PLACE! I've used other sites to purchase tickets and have had the run around, on either getting my tickets or applying any coupons I've been given. Not a single problem ever with these guys!

Almost missed the Game
January 11, 2018

Tickets were not valid due to being reprinted by the seller. Was lucky the venue reprinted them at the box office or I would have never have gotten in for the game. Disappointed this happened as I've never had an issue with any ticket seller.

I bought Game 5 for NLDS series and the game never occurred. It has been a complete hassle to get the money back. Every other ticket seller automatically refunds for the games that were maybe games. Definitely avoid.

We missed the VIP area completely after booking tickets that were supposed to include them. We reached out 4 days before the event to say we had received nothing indicating how to access VIP area. They didn't get is instructions until day of. When we arrived at event we were not on the list and had to argue with a manager for 20 minutes before she told us she found our tickets but the VIP area was closing in 15 min and we could not enter.

Horrible customer service with no accountability. I followed all of the rules and they won't provide me my refund. I have all the emails to prove that I did exactly what they asked. This company is actually stealing from its customers. Unbelievable they can get away with this.
