“I was having an issue getting my tickets to download...”

T E.
5/5/16

I was having an issue getting my tickets to download and it was after hours. Dan went above and beyond to call me back and spent about 25 minutes on the phone with me until the issue was resolved. I appreciate the fact he did this even more because we are on different time zones, and he just wanted to make sure my experience was great. The fact that I got same day tickets and no service fee was even more often. Seat smart will be my first choice when I need tickets for any event from here on out!

“Everything good so far”

Adam L.

Everything good so far. 9 hours later SS cancelled my order and blamed the ticket broker for selling the tickets AFTER I bought them. MY second order was put on hold the next morning after SS blamed the ticket broker for listig both sessions but only having tickets to session. Then they backed me up one row as compensation for their scewup. Overall, mistakes will happen but in this case I lost something in every instance SS was unable to deliver what was promised.

They boast being able to price match and beat any other COMPARABLE tickets on the web. In other words. Same seat/same row. Same day... ok check. After a lot of research and debating I found 2 or 3 different tickets that I could acquire cheaper elsewhere. But figured I'd try to deal with Seatsmart and have them beat the price i found. As they boast about their best price policy...

So after a bit of looking I found no way to price match effectively so I instead sent an email into them requesting info on how to go about the price match. After being told and asked for my examples i sent in links to the tickets at another website for them to view. After about 7 days. I got no response and was curious why. So I responded to their last email and questioned if they were able to help me out with a match. Within 30 mins i got a response mentioning the tickets they had were cheaper than the tickets I found originally. -

Which of course they are now. They had 8 days to change and update the price for the tickets... likely to avoid having to do a price match for me.

So after that response. I sent another email and mentioned that I had requested the match over a week ago and the prices likely changed since then and why did it take so long for them to respond...

I never did receive an email back from them.

Based on my experience. I'd suspect their reviews are fairly fraudulent..

Love that there are no additional fees. Those fees can be shocking. And ticket delivery is prompt.

No outrageous markups; great customer service! The tickets are cheap, the site is user-friendly, and the fees are very reasonable compared to some other similar sites.

I would like it if the site allowed me to purchase tickets and the parking pass in the same transaction

I love the fact that the site has no hidden fees, and the price is as posted. The only thing that I like about other sites is the ability to see the view from the section you are selecting.

Really easy! I saw similay (but worse) tickets on a competitor site for more money. For Canadian users, maybe highlighting whether the dollar value is in USD or CAD might be a good idea?

Great prices and I love the use of promo codes to help out a fellow shopper with getting the best deal.

I am thankful I finally found a site that doesn't charge an astronomical service fee for each ticket, especially since I have a family of 5 and have to purchase 5 tickets for events. It saves me a ton of money. Thank you.

The "pick up" option is very unclear (it didn't tell me what the pick up location even was -- after i inquired, it turns out it was in a different state altogether), and the added shipping fee is sort of misleading when browsing here from Tiqiq.com

Original comment: Almost seems to good to be true. No fees and best prices I ran into. Very nice site, great experience.

After getting our tickets: I was very pleased with the shopping experience, and shocked to learn there were not additional fees. Only thing that wasn't perfect was the email I was supposed to get with my tickets didn't come the next day. So I emailed the ticket owner (link to their email was on the purchase confirmation email - very easy to find). They got back to me very quickly to let me know the tickets I purchased had already been purchased. They proactively found me new tickets for the same price and same section. I was even able to add a new ticket because a friend wanted to join us. They were very quick to resolve the situation. And it was nice that the email was sent from a real person who signed the email and not some customer service dept.

So, long story short... even with a glitch in the process it was a good experience.

Excellent! I had to call customer service for a quick question and the young woman I spoke with was extremely helpful in making sure I got the right tickets for my situation. Will be using this site again if I'm ever in need!

Good - it'd be nice to see an estimated shipping date at checkout, but we were contacted promptly about next-day tickets

Shopping here is pretty quick and convenient. I got tickets for a Dodgers game and after I purchased them, my friend decided she wanted to go. In no time i was able to find seats in our section and make the purchase. Easy as pie!

Easy, breezy. Last minute decision to attend the Rockettes. =) Read review on NYT and felt like it was a transaction that I'd be happy doing.

Would like to be able to zoom in on the section/seating as I've seen on some other sites. But thanks for saving me some $$

After several technical difficulties I managed to purchase tickets. No option to insert referral/discount codes.

I downloaded the App on my phone and it flat out didn't work. I missed out on cheaper tickets because of it and I am upset.

The selection process and actually purchasing the tickets went well. It took almost 12 hrs for me to receive the confirmation. I also had a problem with my order and it took almost 2 hours before I received a request to fix the problem. I can honestly based on this I will not use or recommend this site.

There was no chance to put in the promo or referral codes I researched. My tickets are set for postal delivery, currently $50 cheaper than StubHubs electronic delivery.

found seatsmart when searching for GA Dome seating chart. Impressed with the lack of stubhub type fees. Got the seats I wanted and saved $100 plus. Ordered just before Christmas, got the tickets sooner than expected. Go Noles

I had to search the seat smart guarantee separately to ensure my tickets would be valid. It would be nice if this was readily advertised leading up to the purchase page bc they really were the best priced tickets. Thanks!

Couldn't be happier. Looked at 28 tix sites, only one with no ridiculous service fees. Just tax & shipping, both minimal. 2 day FedEx arrived in 2 days. Highly recommend
