Tickets were scheduled to arrive 2 days after game. Fanex worked with us to convert the tickets to mobile. Was very confusing and took an hour. Will not use seat geeks going forward, unreliable
Never do business with SeatGeek. We bought tickets nearly two months in advance to a venue. The tickets we printed and handed to the ticket scanner had been used four minutes earlier to gain access to the venue, making our SeatGeek tickets NO GOOD. The venue gave me the names of the original purchasers. What do you wanna bet SeatGeek claims the original purchasers resold the same tickets to more than one buyer? Some SeatGeek tickets to another venue?! No thanks. #SEATGEEKSCAMMERS

Bought Pirates tickets for July game. Site says tickets can be transferred, which is not true. Seatgeek tells me I should go to game to get my friends into the game! No help, I live in Nashville.
Just purchased two NFL club seats at a remarkably low price and the transaction was effortless. I especially appreciate the ability to know what the service charge is prior to purchasing the tickets.
Got my ticket fine everything came through Ticketmaster super legit.
Couldn't find my ticket at first contacted their customer service who is able to help me through the chat and figured it out.
That was a concert 2.5 hours away that I bought tickets for through seatgeek, as a present for my daughter. When I purchased the tickets, I got the confirmation from the seller that I would receive the tickets. 24 hours prior to the concert I had not received the tickets. I contacted seatgeek's customer service and they said all they could do was contact the seller. The day of the concert I still did not have the tickets. After spending 6 hours on the phone where I was put on hold for 60 minutes and then hung up on multiple times when I asked to speak to a supervisor, I was finally given an answer to the situation that there were never any tickets and they would refund me my money. Not only did it cause major anxiety and stress, I also had to inform my daughter that we would not be going to a concert for her birthday, less than 3 hours before it started. I was given a refund for the tickets and that is all. Nothing else to compensate me or my daughter for the stress and trauma they caused. Not to mention that I was never allowed to talk with a supervisor because they were in a "meeting" all day. If they had informed me prior to the day of the concert, when I called, I would have been able to purchase other tickets, but the day of, they were all sold out.
I found the app off of Flemlo's YouTube channel (good for sports fans). But I love checking out seats even if I dont go. Easy to buy and check out seats. Not really gonna find better prices either!
Due to the hurricane, homes were evacuated, flooding was occurring, highways were closed. The concert was postponed to a later date (4 days after the original date), and these issues were still taking place due to Hurricane Florence. I had spoken with seat geek customer service atleast 20 times in the few days leading up to the concert and they were all unwilling to refund my tickets, due to a 3rd party agreement. Seat geek does not offer insurance on tickets nor refunds for any tickets unless 1) the event gets cancelled 2) the original seller agrees to refund. I feel as though seat geek is ultimately responsible for making this call, after all their name is what appears on my credit card bill and they refuse to give seller information. I was out $526 due to a Natural Disaster. I attempted to resell these tickets at a lower cost through their website, but with people still being displaced, no offers were given. I will NEVER use Seat Geek ever again or refer them for the many concerts I do go to.
Hi Brandi,
Thanks so much for taking the time to leave us this feedback. When events are postponed or rescheduled--especially due to weather, as in the case with Hurricane Florence-- the original tickets are most often good for the new date, too. If the box office at the venue isn’t offering refunds, though, SeatGeek and our vendors won’t be able to refund your tickets either. Sometimes, too, if the seller has bought their tickets in bulk, they aren't able to claim refunds on some tickets in their order (folks who don't want to attend the rescheduled game) and keep others (folks who do want to attend), so they have no choice but to keep all the valid tickets, and cannot offer refunds for a postponed game.
As it sounds like your conversations with our reps reflected, if you can’t make the reschedule date, your best bet is usually reselling the tickets. We're sorry that this clearly wasn't the option you were looking for, and we know that the extreme weather on the east coast this September really complicated a lot of people's plans. This was definitely an extreme and very rare circumstance that has called into question our terms of service which we do, in almost all cases, really need to stick to. While re-selling is successfully for most of our customers who can't make it to the game for which they'd purchased tickets, we're really sorry that the weather conditions made this more difficult for you. We hope you understand that with the MLB's decisions regarding game play, postponement, and refunds regarding extreme weather events being out of our hands, we really do our best to serve both our customers and our sellers fairly, honestly, and as helpfully as possible.

When searching would be nice if you guys add at once the price of delivery fee. Is disturbing to look for the ticket find out a deal bit later price spike up due to delivery fee. Not funny at all
Stevie Nicks & Bill Joel concert@ Sofi:
Extremely disappointed and was taken advantage of! I purchased center row A3 8th row center stage floor seats back on November 4th. The day before the event I was notified I was moved to the end A4 to the end of the stage the day before the concert. I believe Seat Geek (via Ticketmaster) sold my tickets for more money to someone else and moved me for that reason. I purchased these tickets for $3,200 and noticed the day before the event that other seats in A3 were selling up to $5,000 each. The seats in A4 they downgraded me to were terrible and couldn't see Billy Joel or Stevie Nicks without observing the big screen because of stage equipment. I wasn't even offered a credit for the bad seats and they knew exactly what they were doing!
I ordered wheelchair seats to a Padres playoff game. SeatGeek sent me the wrong seats (they were NOT in the wheelchair row), so I returned the seats and was able to successfully purchase wheelchair seats one section over to the same game. When the game was cancelled, instead of giving me a FULL REFUND to my credit card (which they are required to by California law), they said that since I'd used the promo code from the first transaction to buy the second set of seats that I was not eligible for a cash refund. I spent 2 weeks and over 8 hours speaking with customer service via chat and on the phone. I still do not have a refund. WORST EXPERIENCE EVER.
I tried to enter a discount code but it did not take effect. 20 dollars off first purchase lonba. I listened to a podcast for bourbon street shots. They advertised the site.
Whenever I need tickets, SeatGeek is the only place I look. Never been let down. The rating system has been spot on. Definitely preferred over other ticket agencies.
Great way to get tickets. Website is easily navigated and my tickets have never disappointed. I really like the color codes that help me get the best deal.
Never used your service, but after reading people's heart aches I will never do busy with you!...
PEOPLE WORK HARD TO GET OVER PRICED TICKETS TO EVENTS. Some taking there families and YOU screw them over. SHAME ON YOU! TO MUCH OF THIS $#*! GOING ON IN AMERICA. I HOPE YOU GET YOUR DAY IN JAIL!?!
Nonstop "sorry, those tickets are no longer available" and "a network error occured" when trying to buy tickets. I feel like I got lucky in securing half-decent tickets.
No email link for my ticket. I made two orders three days apart. I still haven't received the first ticket ordered. And the game is tomorrow. Not Happy.
Hi Million B!
Thanks so much for bringing this to our attention here. We looked into this order and our records show that these tickets were sent to you on 8/14, the same day as your purchase. It also looks like we never heard from you directly on this either, so we were never apprised of an issue. Hopefully this means that you found the ticket transfer in your e-mail inbox in time for the game, and all is well! If not, though, please feel free to reach out to us at any of our contact channels below, so we can see what happened here and do whatever we can to help take care of you.
Please let us know!

Bought tickets to Dear Evan Hansen. Arrived at the theatre with tickets which I'd printed as I left home (three hours earlier). Manager said they were likely fraudulent when they failed scanning as we checked into theatre. I spent ten minutes on the phone with Seat Geek to try and understand what to do, manager at the theatre finally helped me get valid printed tickets. Seat Geek did nothing and won't even refund their fee - in their view we saw the show, why am I complaining? The 10 min panicking and negotiating with theatre manager is not what you expect when you spend $1500 on tickets.
The agent finally called me as the curtain was going up to tell me the tickets had been reissued... as the tickets aren't electronic and need to be printed... not sure how that was going to happen in the lobby of the theatre. Luckily manager had already helped us... no thanks to SeatGeek.
Two rounds of writing to their support center asking to refund fees - be clear not asking for refund on tickets themselves, as we did see the show. The fee is to give you access to valid tickets and instead I had a humiliating ten minutes, I'm pretty confident that is not a normal part of the seat geek experience.
Stick with StubHub at least they have a physical site near broadway if something goes wrong.
I purchased tickets, but did not receive them. Communicated numerous times with them. No tickets, and no refund. You will have to cancel sale through your credit card.
Hi Tom,
We tried to contact you via private message a few times to no response.
Looking into your order, please know that the tickets you have are in your SeatGeek account. They were fulfilled directly to your account. If you login using the email you used when ordering you will be able to access you tickets for the event.
If you need any assistance in getting logged into your account please email us at hi@seatgeek.com
Warm Regards,

I bought 5 tickets showing $14 each but when I paid for them, it added $7.40 per ticket after I checked out. The website is not honest with the actual final price. Not recommended this website.
Hey Emhurst,
It sounds like you were searching for tickets with the fees not included in the price. So your tickets were $14 each prior to fees, the additional cost you are mentioning is the delivery and service fees. In the future if you want to avoid the sticker shock at checkout you can toggle our platform to show the prices of tickets with the fees included.
Warm Regards,
SeatGeek CX Team
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
Answer: Hi Beth, Welcome to SeatGeek! In order to maintain our marketplace we do have fees, but we'll always show you a thorough price breakdown of your order before you can checkout.

SeatGeek has a rating of 2.2 stars from 2,560 reviews, indicating that most customers are generally dissatisfied with their purchases. Reviewers dissatisfied with SeatGeek most frequently mention customer service, credit card and phone number. SeatGeek ranks 20th among Concert Tickets sites.
Hi Jim, thanks for letting us know about this, and we're really sorry for the trouble! We take all complaints about any of the vendors we work with seriously, and if we see a trend with any single seller, it could lead to our partnership ending with them.
With that being said, it looks like this order for hard-stock tickets was purchased the Thursday prior to a Sunday event, which is likely what caused the issue here. We're happy to see that FanXchange was able to get the tickets re-issued and delivered electronically to ensure you received them on time!
If you have further questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to our support team directly.
