Hockey Tickets
July 11, 2016

I purchased Hockey Playoff Tickets for a Game 7 of the Pittsburgh Penguins versus the New York Rangers. The series ended in 5 games. I have been working trying to get a refund of my tickets with no assistance or help from seatgeek. My Visa company has also launched an investigation as they claim that MY visa will not accept the refund of my ticket money. This is untrue. It has been a total nightmare. I am thrown around from one place to the next... I have had to deal with SeatGeek, Ticketnetwork, and MYTICKETTRACKER. Just keep getting the run around. I am still working with the investigation through my Visa to get my money back. Bottom line, do not use them. No event is worth this hassle.

Sit anywhere you want!
February 5, 2018

Love that you can pick tickets in just about any section of any row for any event you want... Only thing I would change is give the ticket Seller the option of taking offers on his tickets as well as a set price.

Great Blue Jays tickets!
September 12, 2017

Decided last minute to go to a Jays game here in Toronto, and was able to find great seats for a good price on Seat Geek. We have used this site a lot over this past summer, and will continue to do so!

Entirely satisfied with one caveat.
August 16, 2019

I have really enjoyed the ease of accessing events with your app. I did purchase baseball tickets for the wrong day however and it set me back roughly $130. It was my fault entirely, but if the UI had asked for date confirmation prior to the payment I would have caught it. Apart from that i have enjoyed using SeatGeek and sharing tickets with friends and family with ease.

Awful customer service and they don't give a 24 hr window for a refund. They give you a promo code credit to use in a year which is USELESS if you don't have the opportunity to travel or attend another concert elsewhere, plus it's only one-time use. Next time I'll just buy my tickets from Ticketmaster or Vivid seats like I normally do. I got burned for trying something different.

First and Last Time using them
May 19, 2023

Bought Tickets for a Blue Jays game the day of. Website said tickets would be available in time for the game. When we get there, tickets not available, chatted with support on my phone, the website is poorly written and we kept getting disconnected, chatted with 3 different people. Called, first person said they'll open up a ticket and call me back. Called a second time, was on the phone with them for half an hour until they said they couldn't do any thing and offered me a refund. So I spent 2 hours outside the stadium to not get in. Wouldn't ever use them again.

Accommodating service with no hidden fees!
July 1, 2017

Very easy, user friendly app. No hidden fees which is better than StubHub, Ticketmaster, etc. would be nice to earn credit for buying so many tickets or at least a coupon for so much off. Easy to guide through and very user friendly.

Seatgeek is awesome!
May 1, 2018

Seatgeek is an amazing sight. Compare prices and different parts in any venue and the seats are color coded to highlight those seats there were a good deal versus those that are not. Its easy to use and the tickets come right away.

Purchase a VIP package for a lot of money what we received was a joke I wish I could add pictures it was a huggy and a plain black backpack and a little speaker that said budget speaker this is new tour merchandise for this companies VIP package? Also, the private food and drink was at a restaurant with a tab and the seats were horrible. BTW. Cost over 3000

SeatGeek claims the only way to access the tickets I have purchased is through Google Wallet. Unfortunately Google Wallet, according to Google technical help, is not available for the iphone. Days go by I sometimes receive an email from SeatGeek, but so far no tickets and no refund. I contacted my bank without much response. Suggestions?
I urge others believing they will receive tickets on their iphone through Google Wallet to check first.

Bad Customer Service
October 10, 2023

Hope you don't need a refund. Seatgeek place unnecessary requirements of personal identifiable information.

Finding their "contact us" on their webpage is difficult to locate. A customer friendly site would place it in a readily available spot.

Purchase tickets on SeatGeek Warriors vs Trailblazers@ Oracle Arena. Get to the gate and was told to go print out the actual ticket because the system is not accepting the barcode. After finding a FedEx to print out the paper tickets, we are now told the Barcode is invalid. Basically the tickets were fraud. I paid approximately $750 for two tickets. SeatGeek has yet to respond to my call or email. This was college spring break trip for my son. All I want is my ticket refund amount.

I bought tickets on the mobile site. I opened them in my account, no barcode. It says you must add to Apple Wallet but has no button to do so. On a whim I download the app. Log in again. STILL I must add them to my Apple Wallet, but at least note there's a button. I do. I finally get them open and enter. What a terrible experience!

Bought tickets to a Broadway Show back in January. Just received a note today (five days before the event) that the tickets are wheelchair accessible which was not mentioned online when I bought the tickets or when I received the invoice. Of course they are offering me a refund or an exchange for TWICE the price for tickets in the same section and the same row. I thought they would exchange the tickets for what I paid... no way. I have bought many tickets from them in the past without issue but I won't be anymore. Buyer beware!

Predatory...
February 2, 2019

I purchased much better seats than where I ended up, and after my credit card was charged, while awaiting my ticket details, was notified that the seats were sold to someone else AFTER I had purchased them. Ended up in worse seats for more money. My experience has been that SeatGeek is way less reliable than Stubhub. I will not recommend (or use) your product going forward.

Excellent service
February 5, 2019

Received excellent service from Seat Geek. I thought I had purchased 4 day passes to a Jazz festival but only received one day passes. I contacted Seat Geek and they quickly responded and said a mistake had been made on their part. I was offered a full refund or a 50% refund and keep the tickets (which put the price in line). I opted for the full refund and received it within 2 days. I highly recommend this company and would not hesitate using them again.

Good and Bad
March 8, 2020

Good first: - Fast buying option with no waiting for your turn. - Good and easy Seat selection- Nice and quick Customer Support Respond.
Bad: I was charged $125 fees for $400 Ticket. They buy Tickets from Ticketmaster, if I knew that I would go and buy direct from Ticketmaster myself to avoid fees. - You don't get ticket until 24/h before the event.

SeatGeek attempted to help this customer through the Sitejabber Resolution Center, but the customer did not respond

Hi Mire,

Truly sorry for any frustration regarding selling fees. Please note, selling fee's are included in ticket prices all across the Live Entertainment Industry. However, some companies include the pricing in their price without showing it upfront. Here at SeatGeek, we pride ourselves with being super transparent, which is why we have the option on the order page to look at prices with or without fees.

We're glad that you were able to enjoy your game. We tried reaching out to you directly back in March, but didn't receive a response. If you have any questions at all, please feel free to reach out to us at hi@seatgeek.com.

Stay Safe,
CX Team at SeatGeek

Don't use seatgeek
May 6, 2022

Please don't use seat geek. I made a $297 purchase for a concert and my money was never refunded and I was never issued the tickets. They have no live customer service that you can actually speak to all they do is tell you the money was refunded back to you and it never shows up in your account. So if you need tickets to a event please go elsewhere to save you the hassle of losing your money they will tell you the refund was processed and it will not show up in your account. If you don't like losing money please don't use their service

I am trying to list tickets for sale and the website just goes in circles. There is NO customer support phone number to help resolve the issue. HINT: Your software is not that good and now and then there is an issue that requires human intervention. Good bye SeatGeek. Hello StubHub

Ok first 2 Times
January 2, 2018

This was my first 2 purchased items. I like the service it is close to my experience with flash seats. The only down fall to the app is you have to select if buying with all fees included or not all fees should just be included that makes for easier transaction.
