VividSeats Reviews Summary

The overall reputation of the company is significantly marred by numerous customer complaints regarding service reliability and transparency. Many users report frustrations with receiving incorrect tickets, unexpected charges, and inadequate customer support, often describing the service as untrustworthy and dismissive. While some customers have noted positive interactions with individual representatives, these instances are overshadowed by a pervasive sentiment of dissatisfaction and confusion throughout the purchasing process. The consistent issues with order confirmation and refund policies highlight a need for major improvements in customer service practices to enhance trust and user experience.

Great
March 5, 2018

Just ordered tickets for the Kentucky game and the ticket agent (John) was great in finding the right ticket for me. I got my ticket in minutes after talking with John. I had some questions about other up-coming events and he was very helpful about what I could do to get any future tickets. Vivid tickets is the only ticket outlet for me.

Michaels service today made me feel like I wasnt sold anything. He simplified each step and exceeded expectation. There are only a few agents I come across as seasoned as Michael. I dont doubt his skills is a reflection of years of practice and he made my first experience with Vivid Seats absolutely memorable. Hope to speak with Michael at ext. 2555 again in the near future.

Great Service!

Ran into a problem with my card... Angel held on the phone so that I could clear the issue with my bank, which I did, and then completed my sale! Dont see much customer service like that anymore! Angel did an awesome job and was extremely helpful in getting my sale completed! Really went above board! Thank you!

Messed up!
March 2, 2018

I was going to process my purchase online, but I had a questions so I called customer service and the representative was nice enough to take my order over the phone. Then I noticed several emails on my phone. The first talked about a new password? The second one was a summary of the transaction, the third email stated that the order was cancelled, and the last one thanked me for the order. I then called back to find out if the order was done or canceled. When I called I was moved from one person to the next giving me different stories but claiming that the transaction was canceled by the bank. I said that is impossible as my limit is $15K and I just paid the bill in full two weeks ago. I finally gave up trying to get a straight answer about why it was canceled and just redid the transaction. I am still a little concerned that the first transaction might go through so I will have two transactions for the same order. The whole experience was confusing, frustrating, insulting and messed up.

I bought tickets on this website. However, now I can't go. I only have two tickets and decided to try and re-sell them. I listed them for sale but couldn't upload the tickets to the site, which is the same site from which I got the tickets. Anyway, I tried to contact them through their "live chat" on two separate occasions but nobody ever showed up to talk with me. I tried this on two separate occasions too. Finally, I get an e-mail from them saying that I have to upload my proof of purchase of the tickets. Again, I bought the two tickets from them. When I clicked on the link for me to fill out the extra paperwork and upload the proof of purchase, I got a message saying that the there was no document for signature. I tried opening this link on two different devices and still nothing. Finally, I called them. The first time I called, I explained the situation. She then put me on hold for 18 minutes. After 18 minutes, the phone was conveniently disconnected. So, I called a second time. This time, I got a very less than helpful guy that I explained my situation to 4 times. I had to explain to him the exact same thing 4 times b/ca he kept asking me the same questions over and over like he wasn't paying any attention to me. His tone was curt and disbelieving of me. He told me that it was a technical problem on my end and he couldn't do anything about it. I asked him to resend the information but he was evasive and not least bit helpful. Then I asked him how he could be sure it was my fault. After a bit of persistence, he finally put me on hold and had them resend the information that I needed. This is all very dumb since they have all my information as an app acct holder and since my tickets were purchased through them using all the same information from the app. This has taken so much time to get resolved and it still isn't resolved at this time. Hopefully, it will be soon.

I don't recall the gentleman's name but I am sure you can track him by my order # *******. I was having issues finding and purchasing the seats I wanted online and called and he assisted me and was extremely understanding, polite and prompt and took care of my situation timely and with ease.

Seamless experience to get tickets to a show I thought I would have to miss. Price reflected my late arrival but that's tough cookies for me. I always check Vivid for concert tickets as they compete well enough to always be considered.

Very Helpful
February 28, 2018

I called through because I was trying to book two separate transactions in the same row and I couldnt do it online. I was afraid if I booked one the second one wouldnt be there when I went back in. The fellow I spoke with was very helpful and I didnt wait on the phone forever to speak with someone.

Angel made it easy!
February 27, 2018

I waited until the last minute to buy a Good Customer Tickets to the Rodeo, and really didn't want to do the Flash Ticket for my customer...
Angel worked through it and made it happen...
Hopefully tickets will be delivered tomorrow, and I can hand them to my customer...
Thanks
