The return policy should allow a return if its less than 24hrs since purchase. I purchased the tickets and then realized it was for the wrong date and was not able to return or exchange the tickets for the right date. Now I am stuck trying to re-sell the tickets at a higher price of which won't even allow me to break even on the purchase
Seat Geek is the Seattle Mariners vendor to resell tickets. Instead of allowing prices to be set by the seller, Seat Geek sets a price to discourage the resale of tickets. Total rip off and maybe it is the Seattle Mariners that is forcing that to discourage the resale of tickets.
I love the purchasing experience but finding my tix in the app is not intuitive. Clicking on the photo to get my tix with the bar code is not intuitive. Recommend placing an icon that is easier to access. Plus transferring them to my wallet would be great.
This app is a piece of $#*!. The app tells that you can return your tickets when a event is canceled then proceeds to give you a promo code to buy more $#*!ty tickets. Then when you only use half of what the $#*!ing promo code is worth it takes the whole $#*!ing thing away this app $#*!ing sucks.
Try to buy 6 times on seetgeek and had tix. Switched credit cards 3 times because kept getting tix then email said didn't get them. Would rather not
Get them then think I did and later didn't. What a wast of time. Tickets sold out so had to try. Went to Ticketmaster made a purchase and done in one try.
Purchased tickets for upcoming Dallas Cowboys game to take my son from Seatgeek and 30 mins later i get an email saying there was an error. Contacted customer support and was told it was my fault and i should review my information my carefully and my address. I have used them prior to this so this was not my first time using them and under my account, secondly then was told it was a known software issue and there was nothing they could do and i would most likely see my money back in 1-3 business days. They then told me i could try to repurchase them again in 24 hours. Why would i try to let them take anther 700 dollars from me again! This company has ethical issues and should not be allowed to buy and sell event tickets. They are scamming customers and holding their money hostage.
Great for buying tickets but if you have any issues and need to talk to someone it's going to Atleast take 3 hours out of your day to be on HOLD till someone picks up the phone. Ridiculous
Below are some photos that I was able to get before I gave up.
The process was very quick and very easy. I bought my tickets and shortly after, discovered I wouldnt be able to attend the event so I posted them to sell. 30 minutes before the event started, my tickets sold and I was given my money back in about 5 business days.
Was just looking for a singl reasonably priced ticket to tje UW v Montana football game. Most cheaper seats were for multiple tickets. Found one that said 1st row, and figured it was the front of the section. When i arrived, i discovered it was an overall 1st row seat, practically on the sideline! Best seat I have ever had!
I love the dealscore feature but don't like that you can't see the actual seat number. I was trying to buy a ticket close to a friend who was attending the same game. Ended up with a seat on the same row but not next to them.
I am based in Europe and I was planning to go to the US for an event. I booked my tickets through SeatGeek however the event was rescheduled. Therefore I am no longer able to attend. I would normally expect to get a refund however, the customer service asked me to sell my tickets through SeatGeek which by default is unacceptable!
I had no other option to get my money back so I decided to do so. To my surprise, the SeatGeek systems require US mobile number in order to work and sell my tickets. Without a US mobile number, you cannot sell your tickets!
When I contacted customer service about it, instead of issuing a refund, I was told to search on google for an alternative platform to sell my tickets...
If SeatGeek cannot support customers without US numbers, they should not be selling tickets outside the US.
Bottom line is that if you do not have a US phone number, you should not be booking through SeatGeek!
My favorite part of SeatGeek other than the ease of buying and selling tickets is that I have the option to display prices with the fees included, so there's no shock at checkout. It is the reason I use and recommend SeatGeek over other ticketing apps.
Have used the site previously and had good results. Not anymore. Purchased tickets for a concert, but the next day SeatGeek decided they weren't making enough money so they canceled/refunded the tickets and said if we wanted them we would have to pay 325% more. They responded to customer service emails with only generic cut and paste responses. They have awful service and I wouldn't even consider using them again.
I purchased 2 tickets to attend a Tampa Bay Rays vs New York Yankees game in St. Petersburg. The day before the game I got an email from SeatGeek stating that the tickets were no longer available and that they would refund my money. I then went back on SeatGeek to purchase new tickets and I saw that the original tickets I had purchased were not only still available but at a higher price. Therefore, SeatGeek lied in saying the tickets were no longer available and instead had them listed as available at a higher price. SeatGeek did not honour the price agreed to when I made my purchase and instead cancelled my purchase and made the tickets I had already purchased and paid for available to others at a higher price. This is completely ridiculous and unacceptable and beyond the realm of terrible customer service. Use SeatGeek at your own risk.
The seat purchase was fine, but obtaining the actual digital copy of the ticket was a disaster since I had to work through the ticketmaster Monumental Sports portal. The ticketmaster email system didn't work on my phone and even though I arrived to the venue 30 minutes before the game I didn't get to my seat until 20 minutes past the start of the game.
Hey Michael, thanks for letting us know. We're fully aware that Ticketmaster's mobile transfer system is less than ideal and not very fan-friendly, so we're hoping that teams in the future will start to realize this and open up how they allow their tickets to be sold and transferred. In the meantime, SeatGeek still wants to be able to provide tickets to fans, but we do have to stay within venue and team guidelines that require their tickets be sent this way.
We definitely recommend bringing up your frustrations directly with the team, as that may have an affect an how they decide to do their ticketing for future seasons. For now, we again are super sorry for the trouble.

I purchased 2 tickets and a parking pass for a Pistons BB game and then COVID hit and everything was being cancelled. I contacted Seat Greek about refunds and was informed that if the event is totally cancelled and not rescheduled to later in the season, they refund back to the card the tickets and parking pass were purchased on. That was in March of 2020. It is now October 2021 and there has been no refund back to my VISA card. I will not use this site again, very disappointing.
I've bought tickets before and they were emailed within minutes. Then I bought tickets that were suppose to be directly emailed to me a few days ago and I still havent recieved them and I'm not sure why.
Hey Rebecca, thanks for reaching out to us! It looks like we've already addressed this for you and your tickets are safely in hand, but if you have any more concerns about this situation, please don't hesitate to reach out and we'll be happy to assist.

We purchased tickets to the Drake concert at Madsion Square Garden. When we arrived and the tickets were scanned we were told that they were invalid. Seat Geek did say they will refund the money but that's not what it's about. They never should have allowed the tickets to be posted. It's their job to make sure this doesn't happen! They failed. DO NOT USE THE SITE.
Howard, we are so sorry for your negative experience. I assure you we do have safeguards in place and the security of our customers are of the upmost priority. We'd love to make this right with you. Please contact us again and we can dive in.
Very easy to use. Only helpful feature would be to add seatview. Particularly to concert. We had partially obstructed view and hard to understand what that entailed
And Good work sponsoring the ringer. Love the podcasts and why I use this app
I buy 2 tickets to LA vs SF on 9/30. I get a call from Seatgeek explaining that my tickets were no longer available. Would I want them to find me other tickets or do I want a full refund plus 20% added to my PayPal acct. They explained that the PayPal account would be refunded in 7 to 10 working days and the seat geek refund would be 3 to 5 working days. I recieved the PayPal refund in 4 days. No refund on my seatgeek. I call for an explanation. I am told that they processed the refund but that my bank returned the money. They never notify me nor do they process the refund again they said their refund was returned to their account. Then they say it will take another three to five working days for me to get my money. So I will just sit here and wait. Guess I will just have to call my bank to get my money back
Answer: Shana is correct, Seat Geek takes no responsibility for tickets and have no customer service and will not return calls if things do not work out Stub Hub is much better

Hi Mark,
Perhaps I can shed some light on what happened here. I am very sorry your order did not go through and can understand what a frustrating experience that was for you.
To shed some light on what happened, many orders go briefly into a pending state after they've been submitted to a seller. That way sellers can check their inventory to make sure they can fulfill the order. If for some reason they can’t, it’s cancelled and the pending charge is voided. So until an order is confirmed the Seller has the option to reject it on their end which is what happened here.
Should the seller have confirmed the order, then you would be backed by our guarantee and we would make sure the seller honor the order!
Warm Regards,
SeatGeek CX Team
