At the very beginning, I purchased this ticket by mistake because of the unclear information on the website, it is on 12late night, so I made a phone the second day, and the officer told me some BS that it is a final purchase and I cannot do anything but selling it and she said it is easy to sell, and 4 days later I received the ticket and list them online, there said 20% charge on selling, ok, but with no assistant to sell! WTH, the worst experience ever! I will pay attention that avoid the SEATGEEK next time when booking tickets!
First, i bought tickets during they day. Got two confirmation emails. One that day and one the next day stating that my order has came through and processed. Then, my tickets weren't showing up so i emailed them asking where they were. I received an email one day before the game stating the tickets were no longer available. HOW? So, after a long day of wasted time on horrible customer service the supervisor Sean Gil proceeded to tell me that it was the sellers fault and that there was nothing he could do for me. Horrible business, horrible service.
NEVER USE THIS WEBSITE
Hi Luke, thanks for taking the time to make us aware of the issue. It does sound like your order had been rejected by the seller, but we definitely want to make sure to follow-up and see if this situation was handled correctly. If you could send us a private message with your order details, we can take a look for you. We look forward to hearing from you.
I bought 3 tickets way in advance to a sold out show on Memorial weekend. Obviously, did not want to wait until the day of to find out whether or not the tickets would arrive. This was my first time using SeatGeek and I was really worried since I put down a lot of money for the tickets.
I had contacted SeatGeek way in advance to ask questions like "if this will be delivered as an e-ticket, why would it take so long to get delivered?" and worse, "Why do I have an email and SeatGeek confirmation that my order of 3 tickets were delivered, but only two tickets are showing for download?"
SeatGeek/Customer Support was really helpful and responded to me within 24hours (way quicker than I expected based off of the reviews). Luckily, they found out that the pdf uploader on their end messed up and they emailed me the full delivery of 3 tickets.
If this hadn't worked out I actually would have been leaving an awful review, but the show was amazing - front row and no issues upon arrival. And I'm extremely happy that the SeatGeek Staff/Customer Support never left me hanging.
It might have been helpful that I had purchased from a "SeatGeek" Vendor and not another vendor through SeatGeek such as ticketcity or razorgator etc. I felt that Customer Support had more obligation to help me with issues or concerns since as a consumer from their seller/vendor, I would fall under their jurisdiction and not that of the other sites.
I ordered tickets to see Ariana Grande in New Orleans for April. Although I ordered them in January, I didn't receive them until the day before the event. During that day, I was freaking out because I was worried they wouldn't send them to me on time so I called their customer service number. They didn't answer at all or respond to my emails so I tweeted them instead. Of course, they responded to me on there but I coincidentally got them during that time. My advice is to order through their own vendors and be cautious about where you get the tickets from. I'll probably be using another site next time due to the amount of time it took for my tickets to be delivered.
Hi Gabrielle, thanks for taking the time to leave some feedback about your experience! We totally understand how nerve-wrecking getting tickets the day before the show can be, and we're sorry it took you reaching out to us to have to get that order fulfilled! If you have any other concerns you'd like addressed, please always feel free to follow-up with us at [email protected].
I ordered tickets paid for them then after telling my kids that we are going to the game thy never sent tickets and never answered thy put money back in account after I called the bank. STAY AWAY
Hi James. First and foremost, we want to apologize on behalf of the seller and SeatGeek if this seller did not come through with the tickets for your confirmed order. This isn't the sort of experience any of our users should have, and we hold our sellers to strict policies if they confirm orders they cannot fulfill.
If you continue to have concerns regarding this order, we definitely want to help. Please send an email to followup to [email protected] and reference your Order ID so we can look into what happened and make sure you were reimbursed accordingly!
Bought tickets for The Final Four a week ago and still do not have my tickets... the games are tomorrow. Called several times and the story changes every time I call and I've been unable to get a refund. Please do not use Seat Geek.
Hi Richard, thanks for writing in and we apologize for the trouble. Most Final Four tickets were on a 24-hour delayed release, so the seller did not have them in-hand for delivery until 24 hours prior to the session that the tickets were purchased for.
If you did not receive your tickets for this order or otherwise weren't able to attend the game, please let us know via email at [email protected] so we can make sure to look into what happened here. Be sure to reference your Order ID so we can get any problems sorted as quickly as possible!
I bought UFC tickets yesterday for the 1st time and I received an email that I could of got better seats and cheaper at vivid seats I called customer service in an hour buying my tickets and they didn't care and laughed I'm would never buy tickets from them! They are horrible
Hi Nikki, thanks for taking the time to write in. Unfortunately, due to the aggressive nature of the ticket market, all sales are final and cancellations are not possible once an order has been confirmed. We apologize for any inconvenience! Please let us know if you have any other questions, please feel free to followup via email at [email protected] so we can make sure to address you concerns! Just include your Order ID. We'd love to help!
Horrible experience. I purchased two tickets to the Islanders game but never received email confirmation. Finding seatgeek's phone number was a hassle in itself, but when I finally contacted them with my issue, they offered no solution to my problem besides "try purchasing them again". I even tried to buy another pair of tickets but the same thing happened. Seatgeek did not try to do anything to help me purchase the tickets, nor did they lock me in at the rate I originally tried to purchase them for. This company has horrible customer service and logistics. I suggest buying tickets elsewhere.
Hi there Rob, we definitely want to follow-up on this. Typically when orders are rejected, it's due to the fact that a user submitted an order for the same listing just prior to your order. We do allow up to 24 hours for our sellers to confirm or reject orders so they can be sure to double-check their available inventory. If you have any other questions, please let us know so we can be sure to help. You can reach us directly via email at [email protected].
This is a scam... DO NOT USE THIS SITE. BEWARE... BEWARE... BEWARE Pay a little extra and use a reputable site... I would give them a negative star if it was available.
I seem to have a problem with this site about 4 out of 5 times I try to use it. Customer Service has to do some weird work around. Today, they have NCAA regional listed at 3:30 AM, instead of 5 PM so tickets do not show up. I called and they say they have been having trouble since yesterday. Unbelievable. Stay away.
Me and my husband as well as his twin brother and his wife as well as their older brother could not get into the blink 182 concert last night because our tickets were scanned as fraud.
Apart from that we had the same exact fraud confirmation number and we did NOT buy them together nor at the same time
On top of that all 5 tickets were under someone elses name. How can that be possible when we bought them separate and all have different names?
We just want our money back given us having to spend even more money at the door buying the tickets they had left. Absolutely terrible the employees at houston rodeo couldnt believe it, they all tried different scanners, entering the numbers manually in various computers, and all that kept being repeated is fraud.
Hi Martha--we definitely want to follow-up on this. It sounds like the purchases all came from the same seller. If this issue hasn't been appropriately addressed yet, please send a request to our Customer Support team at [email protected] with your Order ID(s) so we can make sure to investigate and compensate you for any tickets that were invalid. We're sorry for the trouble, but we'll keep an eye out for our incoming request so we can be sure this is addressed right away!
I bought my tickets in September 2016 for an event March 24,2017. I was very anxious at the amount of time it took to get my tickets delivered to me. Constantly asking for updates on the delivery of my tickets. Constantly being told that they would be delivered in time for the concert. They were very quick to answer my emails and I always got a live person when calling. Always telling me "your tickets have been confirmed and will be delivered by the day of the event". And they were. But IF had I had to travel to my event I might have not and therefore missing my event and my refund. I would say to SeatGeek that I think you should find a way to get possession of the tickets I purchased 6 months ago sooner than the day of the event and I would always use your service. Meanwhile, you should open a side business to teach other company's your great customer service model.
This company cares more about their ticket brokers than their customers. If the broker screws up your ticket delivery do not expect seatgeek to help you out. They will hold you responsible for the financial burden instead of making the broker responsible for their mistakes. Does not matter how many times you call or email them in the end you will just lose your $500 dollars or however much you spent.
Hi Santos, we definitely want to make sure this sort of situation is addressed. We never want anyone to lose out on tickets or their money as a result of an order being improperly delivered, and that's definitely something we want to look into.
If this situation is still ongoing, please send us an email with your Order ID to [email protected] so we can investigate what happened with your order! We look forward to hearing from you.
I tried to purchase TOOL tickets and even received an email saying the purchase went through... 3 minutes later another email appeared stating that the tickets i was trying to purchase had already been sold but my money hasn't been refunded. After going back on the site, the tickets was told were sold are still there.
Hi Shaun, thanks for making us aware of your experience. For clarification, when orders are placed they first go into a pending stage so the seller can double-check that they still have the inventory available to confirm and fulfill the order. It sounds like this order was rejected due to the inventory no longer being available.
We're working constantly to make sure all of our listings are as up-to-date as possible, but sometimes the site will cache listing information which will cause listings to stay on event pages even after they've been confirmed through an order.
If you have any other questions, please send our Customer Support reps an email so we can be sure they're address! We can be reached at [email protected]. We look forward to hearing from you!
Their guarentee says they will get you tickets if for some reason you don't get the ones you paid for well we bought tickets to Luke Bryan. They didn't come in then when we contacted them they emailed us back and said they would reimburse our money but their guarentee says they will get you your tickets or better ones. After I called the customer service and read them the guarentee they said let me get you a manager then left me on hold for 1 hour and 5 minutes until I finally gave up. Still haven't been reimbursed and it will be 2 weeks on Friday. Really unhappy with this site also ruined my daughters birthday she was hoping for them for her birthday and we told her we got them. I plan on making reviews on social media and everywhere I can think until I get some satisfaction the worst company ever.
Hi Brandi, this is not the sort of experience we ever want our users to have. In the event that tickets are still available for purchase for an event, our goal is always to get replacements rather than send a refund, as it's our number one priority to get our users into the shows! More importantly, since it sounds like that wasn't an option here, we want to make sure you were reimbursed for your order appropriately.
If you have yet to receive the refund for this order, please send us an urgent request to [email protected] and reference your order number so we can get this resolved. We appreciate you taking the time to leave your feedback, and we'll keep and eye out to make sure this is taken care of for you.
I was not able to list any tickets on this website its a flat out lie waste of time just to get you to sing up for their site. Also they pay people to write fake reviews on apples app store its so easy to tell what a crap company dont bother wasting your time

I bought tickets to a Denver Nuggets game 4 hours before the event. SeetGeek charged my card and when I went to download my tickets, the website said the transaction was pending. After 3 hours and logging back in 10 times the website just kept saying pending. My whole family was waiting to go to the event because we still did not have tickets. After 2 calls to the customer service I was finally told 2 minutes before the game started that my purchase was declined and that it would take 3-5 days to give me my money back. I didnt know there was even a chance that I would not get my tickets, there was no disclaimer that clearly stated that this was even a possibility. My family's plans were ruined by this website after paying them over $400. After, we actually just drove to the game and got scalped tickets in front of the arena for less then half of what I was going to pay online through SeatGeek, if you want to know you are going to the event you are buying tickets for please don't use this website. You may think you are saving money, you are not you are literally wasting your time and your money. Worst online purchase I have ever made

My boyfriend wanted to surprise me with jazz tickets. The game started at 7:00 by 6 the ticket price had been taken out of his bank account, but we had not received a conformation email. He had to call in 4 times to figure out what was going on, the purchase was never finalized on their end so we never went to the game. By 7:30 the prices were 3x the original price. We never received complimentary tickets, just a " hopefully your money is refunded in 24 hours." A waste of our night going downtown and bad business.

Very bad experience! Bought general admission Lynyrd Skynyrd tickets from Seatgeek... over charged "double" the price. We found out at the concert GA was $40.00 per person & we were charged $190.00 for two tickets! To top it off... we were promised our tickets by Feb. 28th... not receiving them until less than 24 hours before the show! Only becz we called & complained did we receive the tickets! Nor did the company compensate or do something for the trouble they caused. Bad business & bad experience.

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

Hi Zhongping, thank you for taking the time to let us know about your experience, and we're genuinely sorry it didn't live up to expectations. Across the secondary ticket market, all sales are final once they've been submitted and confirmed due to the natural volatility of the industry. Unfortunately, as stated in our Terms of Use, sales cannot be cancelled, reversed, or refunded once they've been submitted. Again, we apologize and hope there wasn't too much confusion about the process. Please feel free to follow up with us at [email protected] if you have any other concerns.
