Nikki Is Amazing!
October 26, 2017

She went the extra mile for me, making feel like I'm a customer not just a number. I thought after the incident I wouldn't shop at SeatGeek but she made me think twice. I'm glad she was on the other side of the phone with me.

Waste of time
February 16, 2017

I would give a lower rating if possible. Went online before 5A to find tickets for a Blackhawks game. Selected the tickets, paid for the tickets, all good - I'm supposed to be able to download the tickets from my account and print them. Later I get an email the tickets are no longer available and that they are sorry but they still charged my credit card $596. Then I went to their site and the tickets that were 'unavailable' are STILL listed. What a waste of time. Now I have to begin the process all over again. Note: They make it difficult if not impossible to contact them if you have an issue.

I was kinda skeptical about the website but it seemed legit so i gave it a chance, big mistake. Bought tickets for a trey songz concert, got to the door, lady scanned them & told me that they were void & fraudulent. I stood there in the rain, couldn't even buy tickets at the door, and didn't get inside the concert. I tried calling them, no answer, but i am going to get my money back, i don't care what i have to do. Hopefully my bank helps me out, seatgeek.com is pitiful.

I went online for tickets but did not purchase right away. I got an email about the event I was interested in. When I opened the link on my phone through email, that directed me to the site, I found different tickets and prices listed on the moble site that were not on the website from my computer. Also some tickets on your website said they were available, but actually were not available. In addition, I am finding new tickets and prices daily that were a better deal then the tickets I bought. Knowing this now, I should have waited to purchase. I may use you again but it would be nice to have consistiancy between moble and desktop. Your fees seems to lower then competitors which is great.

Hey Dylan, thanks for reaching out about this! It's hard to say exactly why you'd see different prices on mobile vs. the web, but usually that's just a matter of the fees being turned on for one and not the other. If you run into that issue again, just make sure you've got that fee filter toggled either on or off for both. If you're still seeing a discrepancy in prices, let our support team know so we can look into it.

Keep in mind, any event will have tens or hundreds of sellers listing inventory at the same time--since SeatGeek is a secondary market, the inventory and the prices of that inventory can vary minute-to-minute, and there's no real way to predict fluctuation. We definitely encourage tracking events you're interested in to see if tickets prices start dropping or going up, and keeping an eye on the Deal Scores assigned to the listings to try to snag the best price!

Hopefully this helps, but if you have any further questions please don’t hesitate to reach out!

MNUFC tickets
January 14, 2020

I like SeatGeek because it is easy to use and gives you the option of searching prices low to high and showing your ticket prices with fees. If I can't go to the venue to purchase tickets, using SeatGeek is the next best thing.

Fraudulent practices
November 5, 2023

I bought 3 tickets to a show at the Berkeley Theatre for myself and my kids. Both SeatGeek and the venue showed that the GA seating was in the main amphitheater and the floor. When I arrived the venue was over booked and we were told to sit on a steep grass hill above the venue that was slippery and dangerous. I requested a partial refund for the issue and I have been told there is nothing they can do because at first they said that the area was GA seating. Then when I persisted and showed them the website info and how what they sold did not match what was available and was a fraudulent selling practice they said they weren't the seller so they can not refund. Again that is fraudulent information. They took the payment so they are responsible for the refunds. Do not use this company. The customer service is horrible and they practice fraudulent selling practices.

I appreciate knowning the true total cost when I make my purchase. To be 5 out of 5, I would want the application to offer some sort of financial incentive that makes it more affordable then the competition.

Racist company
May 16, 2023

I know the people on the marketplace team from a previous job. They are big time racists and bigots. White is right at this company - don't work here and don't support this company. I'd suggest that you gip them for all that you can since they won't look out for you and exploit you.

Rod Wave
October 22, 2021

Please "Do Not" order any event tickets through seatgreek. I purchase some Rod Wave concert tickets and the concert was last night October 21st in San Francisco. I drove 2 hours to attend this concert and was told by the staff that I had to be fully vaccinated on which I was, because all military personnel has to be fully vaccinated but was told I needed proof. That is HIPPA violation. However I'm pretty sure that all the people that I seen in line was not fully vaccinated. I spoke with someone on the phone and was told that I could not get a refund. I served this country to protect evil harm and I was told that. I purchased my ticket like everyone else with no problem to be told that. I was really very piss off.

Bad communication
January 22, 2022

I had tickets to a concert and the concert was cancelled and rescheduled and they never notified me. That's bad business! I wanted a refund because i couldn't make the new date but they would not give a refund. Then I called the person that they actually got the tickets from and was told seat geek don't like giving refunds because they would lose to much money because they jack up the prices. Now I will buy directly from the person they bought the tickets from for a cheaper price plus he said he would of refunded me my money back for the cancelled show!

Simply wanted to see the Marlins play this season. Found great seats right by first base for a great price. Actually cheaper than the face value.

Can't get tickets
October 4, 2018

Very frustrated I can't get my tickets through you, I was told I had them sent to Ticketmaster but never received an email from them and can't get on the Ticketmaster website because it seems to be blocked in Vietnam where I live. Will not use seat geek again

No issues whatsoever
October 11, 2016

I Purchased tickets for the Beyonce Formation Tour at Metlife stadium. Reading the reviews I was extremely nervous about my purchase. My tickets were delivered via fedex way before the concert date. My tickets were scanned and I walked in and enjoyed the show. I will definitely use again.

Easy peasy
February 18, 2021

First time user. Bought baseball tickets for a group & ended up with one extra ticket. Reposted it for sale with just a couple of clicks & sold it in a very short time. Best designed ticket site I've used!

The one thing that makes me nervous about resale tickets is the delay that often occurs between the time you purchase your tickets and the time you receive your tickets.

Typically, I've found it takes a couple hours to receive tickets, but on this occasion, I had to contact SeatGeek support because I hadn't gotten notified that the tickets were ready to be accessed up until almost an hour before first pitch.

I was afraid to leave for the game without the tickets, so I had to wait until support contacted the seller and fixed the issue. They did a great job resolving the problem, and maybe it was my fault for not contacting them sooner, but I was frustrated that this experience wasn't as smooth or painless as I've come to expect.

I still think SeatGeek deserves four stars for pricing, availability and customer service, but this delay was stressful.

Way overpriced tickets. Found better seats for less money on a different site. Got scammed out of my money cuz they said it was easy return. All they give you is a promo code for the same amount that you have to use on the site!

Keeping my money
May 4, 2023

I received a promo code for an event that was rescheduled that I couldn't attend. I spent $69 out of $602 and SeatGeek is refusing to give me my money until after the $69 event takes place in August. So basically the company is refusing to give me $530 of MY money until August. I recommend NO ONE use this company. They make it sound like they are all about the customer...they are not. They only care about money and how they can swindle it out of you. Taking care of their customers is not their priority. Not only do they want me to never use this company again, I recommend to no one to use this company. They don't care about the customer or how to keep customers coming back.

A little sketchy
April 10, 2017

I ordered tickets to see Ariana Grande in New Orleans for April. Although I ordered them in January, I didn't receive them until the day before the event. During that day, I was freaking out because I was worried they wouldn't send them to me on time so I called their customer service number. They didn't answer at all or respond to my emails so I tweeted them instead. Of course, they responded to me on there but I coincidentally got them during that time. My advice is to order through their own vendors and be cautious about where you get the tickets from. I'll probably be using another site next time due to the amount of time it took for my tickets to be delivered.

Thank you for reaching out and making us aware of the situation! We're genuinely sorry you had that experience.

When it comes to determining whether a seat has a limited or obstructed view, that's something that's determined by the venue itself. Unfortunately, if the venue doesn't notate the ticket itself or consider the view to be obstructed, there's no way for the seller of the ticket to notate that information on the sale.

We're very strong advocates of venues making sure to be transparent with things like this, and we'd recommend reaching out to the arena that hosted the event directly to express your concerns.

Again, we're sorry that happened! Please let us know if there's anything we can do to help.
