Horrible experience. I was at a Toronto FC game already (My dad got me 2 tickets hours before the game from his work). I decided to look for "good" ticket apps so I can buy tickets for a future game and I stumbled upon SeetGeek. I purchase 2 tickets for the next game, everything is good right? Nope.

A couple of minutes later, I receive an email that I purchased 2 tickets for the game that I'm ALREADY watching. Seeing this, I called SeetGeek 7 times, I missed the first half of the game already and still got no help. On top of that, I didnt even get to sit at the newly and unwanted seats that I "purchased". I called again after the game and had no help, their customer support offered no help either. 4 of them literally said the same thing. I think they're reading from a script or something.

Today I received an email basically telling me that I'll never get a replacement or a credit for their app's mistake.

I basically gave seetgeek at least $100 for screwing me over. Don't trust these guys to help.

Hi Justin, thanks for taking the time to leave this review. We do see that the order referenced above was for the game on the night of the July 27th. Our site keeps event pages active for games that are ongoing to allow last-minute ticket orders for fans who decide they want to go to the game, so we always recommend making sure to double check which date you're submitting the purchase for. Unfortunately, once an order has been placed, we don't have the ability to cancel or reverse the order. If you'd got any other questions, please let us know via email at hi@seatgeek.com or visit our FAQ page at seatgeek.com/faq for details about cancellation and refund policies.

Printing hussle
February 18, 2021

Ticket purchase was perfect as always but this time was the first I had to print.
When I came to the FedEx store I had a difficult time finding the printable PDF.
I wish that when I get the auth Email from SeatGeek it would have the tickets attached to it as a PDF

This way I'm able to save to Dropbox via mobile or easily forward to a 3rd party for printing

Seat geek charged me $310 for 2 $25 tickets they said you can cancel within 72 hours, that's a bold face lie Itried to cancel my order within a few hours and they wouldn't give me my money back calling them several times going back and forth with them on the phone was like talking to a wall David at seat geek was a stone idiot very rude wouldn't let me get a word in edgewise,after I made my purchase there was no confirmation # no nothing except a $310 charge made on my bank statement the seller and seat geek were making a $240 profit on $50 which I did not agree to, I've turned this over to my Bank for investigation buyers beware DO NOT use seat geek to purchase tickets, the mark up is phenomenal SHEER GREED!

Disappointing experience
December 18, 2017

The application was very slow and when the booking went through in backend the application showed failure to book ticket.
Needs a lot of fine tuning and testing to make booking hustle free.

Cheapest tickets I ever bought
January 12, 2018

Great seats and great price. Convenient app that has your tickets on it and lets you access the event with just your phone. You also have the chance to print your tickets if you want paper copys.

Best customer service ever period.

Miranda helped out so much. She couldn't figure out the problem with the download of my original seats so she got me seats that were even better. I can't believe she did what she did just to help me.

SeatGreek is a snap to use (much better than the Dodgers own ticket site), and the ticket availability is great. But the fees are higher than seem appropriate.

Be very careful with Seat Geek, in fact, I would recommend not exploring on their website. I have tickets I was trying to sell, and was visiting websites (Seat Geek, Ticketmaster and Stub Hub). Seat Geek was the only site you couldn't see the full price (with the Seek Geek commission included) without providing credit card information. I am confident I did not hit any button saying "Buy the Ticket" and there was no clear message from Seat Geek that I had done son. Within 15 minutes, I got a notice from my credit card that a charge had been made. I immediately went to the website to try to cancel the inadvertent charge but the website is careful not to provide any avenue to raise this question. Nor does the website show a phone number. But, despite Seat Geek attempt to avoid divulging a phone number, I found the number by doing a web search. Within an hour of the wrong charge, I was able to call Seat Geek and explain the problem. The person on the phone did not dispute my finding that I could not see the full price without divulging my credit card information and told me that in doing so, I gave them the right to charge me for the tickets I was looking at. Seat Geek carefully designs its website to rip-off those who want full information. Do not use Seat Geek.
