Great Experience
January 15, 2018

This is a great place to buy tickets. The prices are fluid due to sellers selecting their own prices to sell. You have to pay attention to ticket v e-ticket, as the former means it coming snail mail. My e-tickets showed up quickly. A great experience all around.

Awful
May 26, 2023

Such an awful experience, couldn't get in touch with anyone, bought tickets and the concert got rescheduled for a year later and no refund option is available only site credit, can't even resell the ticket because they won't give me them until 5 days before the event, absolutely sucks

An excellent service.
February 20, 2019

UTree was the one who let me know of SeatGeek's existence - my business can be thanked due to him. I've been very, very happy with it! Easy, reasonably priced, clean UI, hassle-free. Great all-around!

Bought tickets to FSU/LSU football game. Despite all the bots, could not speak toa live person, did not finally get my tickets until 2 hours or so before game time. Bots kept giving scripted answers to my questions. Main phone line went directly to a mail box that full for at least 3 days before my event. In calling the venue, Camping World, no one answered the phone. All this after accepting my payment. They did come through but not without creating high stress and anxiety as we were traveling from out of state.

No refund
December 27, 2021

My friends and I bought tickets for a basketball game in Syracuse that we were coming in from out of town for. This game was postponed and policies were changed regarding who can go. SeatGeek refused to give us a refund we bought 9 tickets that were over $60 each. We are back to work and cannot attend the game, it is ridiculous that we cannot get our money back and I will never be purchasing tickets again through SeatGeek.

Easiest Way to Find & Purchase Tickets
January 19, 2019

SeatGeek is incredibly fast and easy to use. It is a great feature that it provides you with a virtual view of the field from your seats when you click on them. The purchasing process takes only seconds and I had not problem getting into the game using the tickets on the app on my phone.

App is a failure
October 8, 2017

I tried purchasing tix with two separate credit cards. Both were declined for unknown reasons. There was no notifications saying why. Then the app crashed forcing me to have to find my tix again and hoping I didn't lose them

Kiss Section 211
April 13, 2019

Great seats for the price. Had a real good time. Row D is first row of that section. Seat Geek easy to buy tickets on the App. Would like to know full price while looking at ticket prices. Always sticker shock during checkout. April 9th 2019

Hey there!

Really glad you had such a great time at the event! Also pleased to hear you have ease using our app.

For the future, we actually understand that sticker shock is a thing and we want to help people avoid that. When you look for tickets you can actually set the search to show the prices with fees included. That way you can see what the final cost is going to be prior to getting to that checkout window!

I purchased tickets from Seat Geek sucessfully from for years with no issues until 11/19, when i purchased tickets for 11/27 for My Fair Lady at the Buell. While a specific row was not given the "dot"was clearly in the center of Orchestra C which is around row S. 24 hours later and i received the tickets, WW section D in the right rear corner.
I immediately emailed their support team 3 times and requested an exchange or a refund. Pamela finally responded today (LOL) and regrets my frustration? I am surprised they are getting behind a supplier selling fraudulent tickets. Buyer beware as their customer support is non-existent!

Misleading policies
January 25, 2022

A 100% return DOES NOT MEAN you get a refund for 100% of the money you spent. It means you get a credit for that amount to use on your next SeatGeek purchase. No way around that. They also have weird restrictions on what you can buy with the promo code return credit. So basically, good luck getting your value back after you give them your money. Horrible ticket service company!

Event rescheduled for 3 months later due to Covid-19 and I was refused a refund or credit despite no longer being able to attend (I now have a newborn at home). In addition to that it took over a month for me to talk to someone to even list my tickets (so they never resold) because they got rid of their customer service phone line. They're scamming families! Avoid SeatGeek!

Dodger tickets-great source
April 13, 2019

As a kid, I listened to the radio and dreamed of going to a game at Dodger Stadium. Now I'm retired and go several times a month during the season.
The prices on SeatGeek allow this. It's fast, never had a problem after 50+ games, including playoffs and World Series (not so cheap prices, I highly recommend to everyone.

Total scam
November 9, 2022

Just received an email that our tickets would no longer be valid at the venue. Was informed that in 4 days we could get a refund. Only thing I can think now is that the tickets from there own site, appear to have doubled in value since we purchased them a year ago. So much for morals! Purchased for our 15th at old's Christmas present, along with booked hotel and flights, and to cancel 3 days before the concert? Totally criminal. Unregulated industry that needs government oversight. Crazy they can be in business.
So, long and short, if you buy tickets, don't ever really expect them not to be cancelled if the venue price goes up and they can make a quick and dirty buck. Appalling.

Zero stars

I always check reviews online for companies with which I am not familiar. They advertise on podcasts that I enjoy, so I took them at face value. My mistake. The litany of lies and omissions this company uses to shroud the truth would take 5,000 words to fully explain.
The tickets are not guaranteed, no matter what they say. If you sell tickets on this scam site you get your money, minus huge fees, 5 days AFTER the event. They charge exorbitant fees to buy or sell.
I am contacting the Attorney General of South Carolina. He loves to make trouble for business' that use unfair and misleading advertisements.

Will never use again
March 16, 2022

I bought 2 hockey tickets and was charged so much in fees that I could have bought a 3rd ticket on ticketmaster for the same price. They are charging $30 in fees PLUS tax per ticket... a complete rip off. I should have done more research before purchasing but will definitely never be using this site again. Once you factor in fees you'll find better prices almost anywhere else

Never received my tickets for the AZ Cardinals game... it was a Christmas gift for my son who drove in from Canada. Seat Geek doesnt care enough about their customers to have a direct contact phone... reviews show this is a very common issue!

Scam
May 12, 2017

My son bought supposed floor tickets for the Chainsmokers concert. They were sent digitally to his phone. When he got to the concert, the tickets would not work. After 45 min. Of trying, he had to just go ahead and purchase another ticket there at the venue. Tried emailing and calling; no response. Hopefully he will be protected through our credit card as we have filed a claim.

So apparently if you use they're service they can just ghost you? I've reached out to customer service 5-7 times and still haven't gotten any type of response. So unprofessional!
I wouldn't trust them with anything especially the fact that they're a third party app and cannot be reliable with even answering emails. I'll never buy a ticket from them again.
