Worst experience using SeatGeek
September 14, 2019

I had terrible experience as bar code was not seen in the email. I bought ticket from seatgeek website using my computer. I got confirmation code, seat number in email. But security person did not allow me to enter as the email did not have bar code. I had to download app, sign up and even providing correct password did not work in seatgeek app. Although, i reached to gate before match started but as i had to go through all the hassles, I and my family reached to the seat after the first half of match was over. Just wondering - why they just sent confirmation code, seat number but no bar code in email?

I use seat geek primarily for ticket buying and selling. I love the interface, for buying I'd give it a 4, only issue is sometimes games freeze up due to delays or rainouts or other issues.

For selling, Seatgeek makes it easy to resell tickets, but the 20% fee is insane. Stubhub, well known as the biggest in the business, is only 15%. Tickpick is 10%. Many times I buy on seatgeek, and sell on one of these to save myself money. That's gotta come down to match them at least. Also, again with rainouts or other issues, tickets freeze sometimes. Overall a 2 for selling, but severly because of the crazy fees.

They do not confirm that sellers have the tickets. Sellers can sell you tickets and have you waiting to receive them. You will receive an email saying sellers has sent your tickets. Check your, email, spam ect. Then when you notify seatgeek the tickets where never sent... well good luck. Meanwhile the seller waits to see if the tickets increase in value. If they increase they will cancel your purchase the day before the event leaving you ticketless and back looking for tickets 24 hours before the event. All seatgeek does is refund money and that takes 7-10 days so when you do find other tickets you have to have extra money to pay while money is refunded. Nightmare! Use stubhub or vivid. Seatgeek is a trash company.

Easy and convenient to use.
February 20, 2019

Site works well and you can see the stadium availability quickly. Also with the price and fees upfront it's much easier to compare prices. Then after deciding it's very easy to purchase and redeem the tickets.

Ask plenty of questions
December 5, 2022

Kind of a pain of a process to resell tickets. Big thing is watch when buying so called parking passes for the event. Through seatgeek we were told needed to buy parking pass. We did so at a cost just over $200. Ouch when we arrived at the event. The cost for parking at the location we prepaid for was $30... so at the very least contact the garage or area before paying such a ridiculous amount. Lesson learned on my end

Don't buy from here
November 29, 2022

They suck. Bought tickets to a Dallas Stars game and never got my tickets. Live chatted with 3 people to get my money back and still haven't gotten a refund. Its been a month since I bought the tickets. It was just a scam.

Hoops Jumping
January 19, 2019

Really didn't like going through all the hoops to try to get my tickets. I've used you 3 times now and it been 3 different experiences. The last was the worst. Just let me use one account with one app to use my tickets.

Our Tix not Honored
September 13, 2019

Daughter bought her Dad two tixs to see Rams/Broncos at LA Coliseum. Upon arrival our one ticket scanned fine but security said other tix was at the moment, being sold on line (after it was already paid for). What a hassle. Security took our phone in the back room, looked through it, and wouldn't honor tix because it was being resold on line. Luckily, the Coliseum was nice and gave us two new tickets. Could you imagine if it was playoffs? We wouldn't have gotten in. I will never use SeatGeek

Terrible experience
February 25, 2024

Could not accept tickets. Kept getting the same error code. Customer service were also getting the same error when they attempted to accept tickets under my account. Stressful experience having to contact customer service over and over and had to have tickets sent four separate times. Stressful, frustrating, and unpleasant dealing with this day and night prior to traveling six hours to our event. Tickets were purchased five months prior to the event, and we almost didn't get to go. It wasn't resolved until 2 days before event.

Father Anand son time
March 22, 2018

I made a last min purchase, wanted to go out and have some fun with my 9yr old. Lost the game but it was nice to have that option. Not to mention the seats. Super good seats for the price and on short notice.

Seamless experience with great value
November 27, 2017

Bought some tickets for a Temple football game against UConn and the seats were amazing. Little did I know that they came with a full Buffet. Although they were not showing as a great value they ended up being an amazing value. Pleasantly surprised

My son purchased 2 tickets to the Justin Bieber concert on March17th
2020 from seat geek $644.48. The concert was postponed several times and finally canceled by Justin Bieber via CNN and other news outlets. Multiple attempts to obtain a refund have failed even after emailing on March 1st 2023 with Gabriella from Seatgeek customer service, who promised a full refund with one to two weeks. Three months have elapsed since then and still no refund!

Seatgeek sold me very obviously fake tickets. It is scary that they have no validation process, mine had been photoshopped. It was a sold-out concert (which is when you would expect fraud to happen most often, obviously) and they had no tickets available so I could not get in without paying 3 times as much, which they have no way of reimbursing you for. They need to be more diligent about ticket review and reserve pools of tickets for sold out shows to ensure their customers get in. Refunds dont matter if the show is sold out and I am already there.

Easy and fast
November 23, 2019

Decided last minute to surprise my husband with tickets to the Blackhawks game. I got seats on center ice six rows behind the penalty box. And the price was reasonable. My husband and his friend had a great time and that made the whole thing worth it.

I purchased a parking pass for a Braves game which cost $41 dollars and they added a $12 fee plus a delivery fee.
The problem they transferred the pass through Ticket Master. I am IT so know the system but no luck, I never was able to get the pass...I just lost over $65 dollars.
Danger don't use SeatGeek, I should have read all the awful awful AWFUL reviews.

My go to site for tickets
April 12, 2018

My favorite part of the site is it allows you to search for tickets and see the total with fees included. Other sites make you enter your payment info then hit you with the fees at the end. I like to know my total before checkout.

NO HIDDEN FEES
November 27, 2017

I enjoyed not being hit with that $35 surprise at checkout. SeatGeek shows you the entire price in the search so you know what youre paying before hitting the checkout. Always my first and usually only stop for tix

I bought tickets two years ago for an event. They never arrived. Currently within 12hrs of the event, and no sign of my tickets. I spent 2 hours on hold waiting for a Customer Service rep. When I finally got ahold of someone, they acted like they couldn't hear me and then hung up. I also sent two emails to their customer service email. I can't even contact anyone to request a refund, so I just wasted $250. I will never use this company again. I am absolutely livid.
