DONT BUY FROM HERE
November 19, 2018

In a nutshell - purchased tix from seatgeek for a out of town show. Paid for hotel and transportation Up until the show seatgeek guranteed the tix would arrive. 4 hours before the show NO TICKETS! Complete waste of money! If they wouldve informed several days prior I wouldve cancelled my room and transportation and saved money!
Although they are processing a refund - That still doesn't equate to the amount of money we spent overall. Dont, I mean dont buy from here.

Great expeierence
October 30, 2016

After reading the negative reviews, I was hesitant about the order I placed. However, my experience could not have been better. Before receiving my tickets, I had a questions which I sent to customer service. They litterally answered me withing 3 minutes and gave me the exact info I needed. I had no problems using my tickets and the price was very good. I will definetely use them again.

SeatGeek Rocks!
November 20, 2019

SeatGeek is amazing! Getting the tickets was an easy process and the price for the ticket I purchased was greater than I expected! I was so close to the floor I never expected to pay the price I paid for those seats. I will definitely use GeekSeat in the future.

Bought tickets to two Alabama Football Games. Miss St and Chattanooga. Nothing went wrong at all. Print At Home Tickets Were Fine! I was nervous because after I purchased them, I saw all the neg reviews, but it was all good. 4 tickets total, all scanned, all allowed entry to the games. I will use seatgeek again.

If you like spending thousands of dollars while assuming the company on the other end (Seat Geek) would hold up their end of the purchase for the tickets you had just bought, and enjoy being told 2-days before your event they no longer have them available, THIS SITE IS FOR YOU... However, I had a absolute horrible experience when trying to purchase Super Bowl Tickets. Sure the prices were lower than the other sites, but it really is a "too good to be true" site. They will gladly collect your money with full intention of finding a higher buyer for your seats. This allows them to give you a 125% refund, but they are still making their money by selling your tickets for much more. There's no integrity with this site and they crush people's dreams by telling them 2-days before the Super Bowl that "they no longer had our tickets". Based on how much they advertise on the radio, I thought they were legit, but would NEVER trust this site again.

SeatGeeks misrepresented themselves in stating they would mail me tickets before I purchased them, but now refuses to mail them saying everything is digital saying I would have to take my phone to ballpark and download and ap, sign in yada yada yada. The only reason I ordered was to have tickets in hand as I don't like taking phones to events. I'm one of the few fans left who actually watches the game instead of being glued to a phone. You definitely can't trust SeatGeeks. My luck the app wouldn't work at the park.

Terrible
December 22, 2016

Terrible. I purchased tickets for a sporting event. My card was charged right away. 20 minutes later, after I thought I had secured my tickets, I got an email stating that the transaction was canceled, and that the tickets were no longer available. I checked back on the site to select a different seat, and saw that the seats were relisted but this time for more money. The site is a scam. I wrote them about how I felt it was not ethical for them to allow people to relist seats and they said it wasn't their problem. They suck

Great business!
April 13, 2016

I have used seatgeek twice and loved it!
I recently purchased tickets to Bull v. Cavs basketball game using seatgeek. The vendor was ClassicTickets-they charged my credit card. I agreed to pay $569, but there was an additional fee of $27.00 for taxes from ClassicTickets. I called Seatgeek and told them my problem and they happily refunded me the difference of $27.
I also used them to buy tickets for a 76ers game. To my surprise, they gave a $20 food voucher at no additional cost for each ticket.

I love using seatgeek to by ticket!

Hi Chris, thanks for the feedback! It looks like the promo code you were trying to redeem was for a first-time purchase. Because you'd already placed a previous order with SeatGeek, this order unfortunately wasn't eligible for promo code redemption.

If you have reason to believe otherwise, please let us know so we can make sure this is looked into for you!

I prayed
August 20, 2015

I bought tickets for a small concert on SeatGeek, they were average to Ticketmaster's selling, but check because sometime Ticketmaster is less when fees are not included. I purchased two tickets from Ticket Network, and they got me in the concert and no one was claiming our seats besides us. I do not recommend SeatGeek because I prayed a lot before the event, but heard a lot of negative reviews about UberSeat. I do not trust SeatGeek but if I had to, would buy from Ticket Network again.

Hi Karrah,

We're happy to hear that you found tickets at the price you wanted and that everything went smoothly for you at the concert! We're happy too that you noticed that we display the full price, including all fees, on our map so there aren't any surprises at checkout.

If you do decide to use SeatGeek again, you should know that we require all the websites whose tickets we display to have a money-back guarantee. In the rare case that something goes wrong with your order, you're guaranteed a full refund or better. However, if you prefer to buy from TicketNetwork or would like to avoid UberSeat, we display the logo of the seller next to every listing so you can do so.

Dont use seatgeek!
August 25, 2023

It scam my money :(( ((
You will lose money once you need to refund or exchange tickets
If you repurchase it with a promote code( they trade you from refund) it will become Ticketmaster ticket, you keep losing money whether keep it or sell it.
No phone agent to help you fix problem and no live chat or email
It is super scammy
I lost $274 for 2 tickets :(( (

WISH I COULD GIVE THEM ZERO STARS
April 30, 2024

In town for business and decided to go to a Mariners game. So I buy one single seat ticket. I get a confirmation email showing I ordered one ticket, I think I'm all set. The next day my wife calls me and asks why I bought 2 tickets - two charges pending on our account in the same amount. I contact their lame chat customer service, because you can't actually talk to anyone. This allows them to keep saying "sorry you bought two" over and over. When I sent them a screenshot of the confirmation showing one ticket they said, "well, two minutes later we sent you another confirmation so you bought another ticket two minutes after the first". I of course did not do so and I told them I'd like the 2nd charge removed. I'm by myself! Nope, nothing they can (or will) do. I will be disputing the 2nd charge and will continue to dispute it over and over until they give up. I will not be scammed and this was an obvious one.

I am an IT professional traveling alone and of course never would have ordered another seat two minutes later. This is a system glitch or a scam and the receipt proves it. They should have refunded the bogus transaction immediately. It's not a lot of money, it's the principal. SeatGeek does not care about it's customers, nor it's reputation. I will never use their service again and will advise others to stay away as well. Shame on you.

Scammed, they steal money! WARNING
August 14, 2022

I purchased tickets for the Diplo x Bad Bunny concert 8/13/22. I purchased 6 months before the event, (sent an email I will receive the tickets 48-24 hours before event) this wasn't the case. I spent over 8 hours between 6 different representatives and was hung up on, lied to, even sent a fake screenshot of a "transfer ticket" that never was sent to my email. They told me under their policy I couldn't be refunded because the seller sent proof of transfer (lies, lies, lies). This company had me outside the venue 30 mins before the start begging for new tickets, then I was hung up on and didn't get any further communication! I went and purchased new tickets through Ticketmaster. I decided to go to the seats I originally purchased from seat geek and found both seat I bought were taken, and sold to other people. They are a terrible company not backed by the BBB. They lie, steal, and cheat. A truly disgusting company! Stay away!

I ordered 4 tickets to game 5 of the Red Sox at Tampa Bay Rays on 10-1-2021 for over $380 to my credit card. The Rays were eliminated on 10-10-2021 and it took 31 days to receive my refund with several 'diversionary emails' seeking to swap those tickets for concerts or shows. It was rather tricky figuring out how to reply to their email question regarding the REFUND to my card. In other words, it was NOT STRAIGHT FORWARD. Also the was no customer service number to call. Rather only email, which I did on 10-19-21 and the reply did not expedite the refund. I will not use SeatGeek again for an event that might be cancelled!

What should I do
June 4, 2018

Order No. JU******* was great. Order No. V2476n (above) was postponed until 8/25/18. Not really looking to drive another 7 hours (each way) Buffalo to Baltimore and back. And if I do go back, deathly afraid season ticket holder will have re-sold his season tickets. Any options?

Exchanges/refunds not possible
June 21, 2018

Seatgeek apparently got the tix thru Fanxchange we had unusual circumstances gridlock in DC took us 3 hrs to go 57 miles so didnt get there till 5th inning then there was a 2.5 hour rain delay. Nats are issuing ticket exchanges for the game but Fanxchange said they cant do anything about it so we didnt get to see any of the game and pd $178 for 4 tix. My daughters were so dissapointed since this was the first chance we have had to see a game this year. Its disappointing that Seatgeek would not try to compensate us in some way. :(

Love it!
November 29, 2017

This is the second time I purchased tickets from Seat Geek and the prices I paid were unbelievable!
First was for Katy Perry concert. Printed tickets at home and had no problem. Second were for Hello Dolly, couldn't print tickets at home but since they were etickets didn't think there would be a problem.
But when I got there they couldn't scan the tickets off phone and we had to wait till 5 minutes before the show for them to print. Gentleman told me the reason we have to wait is because the site sometimes sells the same tickets more than once.
We got out tickets and the show was Amazing! I will continue to buy tickets from Seat Geek! Love them!
