Do not use these guys!
December 3, 2015

Last Saturday my son and I bought tickets to the ACC football championship game immediately after UNC won their game. We paid for the tickets on line and received a confirmation number from seat geek. Cost = $166 each. The following Monday, we got an email that the tickets were not available and my credit card was being credited. Today, the same seats are selling for $525 each. I will never use them again and will tell anyone who will listen about how were shafted.

I bought tix here and they never sent them. They ripped me off! They say the tix will be available 24 hours before event (even though you purchase 1 month out). Then the night before they dont show up, and nobody answers the phone or email. I sent 7 emails asking where my tix were, and 4 days after event i receive some form letter- "we have high volume of calls... we'll get back to you when we can...". They stole from me and they will steal from you as well STAY AWAY! Use stubhub or something legit.

With ease SeatGeek aimed to please
December 3, 2017

Went to watch my Minnesota Wild beat up on the Vegas Golden Knights at St. Paul's Xcel Energy Centre. Easy to find what I needed for the price I wanted. Loved the mobile tickets where they can be scanned from my phone. Will use SeatGeek time and time again!

Very convenient
May 29, 2018

Ever since I used your app. I realized that its saving money and time. It would be great if you had an option to buy parking pass at a lower price. Every time that I pay $25.00 per parking at the stadium I feel that I have been ripped off.

Simple purchase and great value
June 23, 2018

I have not yet had any problems with purchasing my tickets with seatgeek. The app makes it so simple to view what each seat would look like from a first person view. You can click on a seat and it shows the stadium and view of the seats. Its great.

Fraudsters
October 18, 2016

Bought tickets to an even 3 months in advance. 1100$ worth totally.

1 month before the event - Customer Care emails that the tickets I received are not usable. They declare that the vendors / brokers behind the scene are to blame.

I accept the facts and request a full refund. Their buyer guarantee states I am eligible for one. Customer Care refuses to issue a cash refund and recommends that I go to my credit card issuer and file a dispute.

I'm surprised they get to live and tell another tale. So many reviews have been denied entry at events. I am thankful that I didnt have to endure that.

Fast, Easy, and Stress Free
July 11, 2018

It was the easiest tickets Ive ever bought in my life. It took a matter of 30 seconds for me to search the event and pay for them. Tickets come straight away and you get a email confirmation as well. Great app and idea

Price rate
May 29, 2018

I understand that some tickets are being re-sales from other people but the amount of profits they make from us its ridiculous, why can people sell their tickets as of face value... so that true fanatics can enjoy the sports (football, concerts) what ever the case is!

Stay Away!
January 30, 2015

If you read all the negative reviews, Seat Geek's company line is that all they are is a "seat aggregator", they don't have the tickets. So their apologies amount to absolutely nothing. As far as I'm concerned, Seat Geek should be banned from doing business due to being an unreliable middle man.

Hi Jon, thanks for writing in. SeatGeek is just a ticket aggregator, so we list tickets but do not own them. We can certainly help you locate your tickets if you provide us with the company's name who charged you for the tickets. You can find that information on your bank statement. You'll want to reach out to the company who charged you for the tickets in order to receive the tickets that you paid for. Unfortunately, SeatGeek is unable to send you the tickets since we did not process your transaction nor did we charge you for the tickets.

Hope that helps!

This is a waste of money! We spent 129 dollars to stand outside of the stadium with phony tickets AND am having the most miserable time getting a refund! Seat Geek will not answer your calls or your emails, but they are more than happy to RIP YOU OFF and steal your money. Please, learn from my mistake and do not support them! They need to permanently removed!

We work really hard to fight against this happening to our customers because we know how exciting it is to get to attend events and how disheartening it would be to encounter the exact issue that happened to you.

Great service!
July 27, 2017

I always check Seat Geek first for tickets. It is rare for me to exhaust Seat Geek options before turning to TM. I love how they rank tickets based on it being a good/bad deal compared to face value. Super helpful in making a decision! The app is easy to use, and great for narrowing down specifics about tickets to be purchased.

A+ for SeatGeek
July 7, 2018

SeatGeek is amazing, very easy to use and the ticket prices are unbeatable! I was very happy with my purchase and the ease of getting into the stadium. I definitely prefer seat geek over StubHub or Gametime!

As far as finding tickets, the ratings and so on, I'm satisfied. What really disappoints me and pisses me off is, the ticket prices are bad enough. But then, when you're ready to pull the trigger anyway, there they go, just like TicketBastard, surcharges and fees. Total BS. I mean really, a $3 a ticket fee for printing the damned tickets myself with MY printer, my ink?

Beware! Unreliable seller! Concert was advertised as presented in 3 days with NO disclosure that it had been rescheduled for a date 6 months away.
I bought a ticket for an event scheduled in 3 days, but received a statement that a ticket for the event would be delivered to me within 48 hours of the event occurring over 6 months from today. Which I am unable to attend! Bait and switch! No recourse because the event was rescheduled and not "cancelled." I paid $60.00 fee to seller for this "privilege." Overpriced and fraudulent. I'm apparently standing in the "stupid" line and DeadBeatSeatGeek profits from suckers like me. Bad experience.

Buyer Beware!
July 22, 2023

We purchased tickets for Billy Strings at the Ko Ko Booth Amphitheater in Cary, NC. I paid over $500 for pit tickets in front of the stage. When we arrived, we were told the venue does not accept QR codes. They only accept bar codes tickets. My attempts at reaching customer service were met with dead ends. They have no number to call. I'm out the money with no other recourse. I will never be buying any tickets through this site ever again. Very dissatisfied customer.

Return policy
December 31, 2021

Before purchasing tickets I was made aware of the return policy. Once I found out I could no longer attend the event I began the return process. They still have not given me my return and the person I was communicating with no longer replies. It has been two weeks

Fraudulent and criminal
November 4, 2023

I purchased a very expensive parking pass from seat geek for game 2 of the World Series. I arrive to find out that the lot is full, not only is the lot full but there are several of us trying to use the very expensive parking passes we purchase from seat geek. I hand to find another lot and pay cash. I'm asked for a refund because they sold me an fraudulent parking pass. The best these criminals will do is give me a credit. I don't want a credit, I never want to do business with these fraudulent scumbags again. I should be given a full refund because they sold me a fraudulent parking pass.

TERRIBLE SERVICE - DO NOT USE
June 8, 2022

This is an absolutely horrid service. I purchased very expensive tickets to a Celtics playoff game 3 days before the game. 24 hours later, the tickets were still 'pending.' A few hours after that, they were cancelled by the seller, who then relisted them on SeatGeek for twice the price I had purchased them for the day prior. By then, of course, ALL of the tickets through all outlets were far more expensive. This is criminal.

I purchased tickets to a concert 2 years ago prior to COVID and never got them. After multiple emails and phone calls ro SeatGeek with the same response every time..."we are trying to contact the seller. The seller is having issues with the transfer platform." we still do not have our tickets. Now we miss the concert, are out $600 and have wasted time off used for our jobs due to the rescheduling of this concert twice. We only used SeatGeek because we could purchase 4 tickets vs 2 at a time through Ticketmaster. Next time, we'll pay more and risk being separated from our group just to ensure ticket delivery.
