Really enjoyed the game and the seats were very reasonably priced. Great view of the game from the seats. Wonderful atmosphere as well

Charged for tickets not ordered
October 11, 2019

I looked on the Seat Geek site for baseball tickets but didn't accept the offer. Nonetheless, I was charged and money was removed from my account ($166). I have written to the SeatGeek support team and they do not even respond!

I purchased tickets Sept. 11th for an LSU game on Oct. 5th. At 11am. My tickets weren't released to me until 8:35am on Oct. 5th. I requested a refund at 7am and 9am with no response. This stadium is located 2 hours from my home. I could have only made it on time to the game with absolutely no traffic but with an LSU game in Baton Rouge traffic I would have never made it. I told the tech that when we discussed the issue on Oct. 4th and was worried I wouldn't have my tickets in time. She said that I would be covered my a guarantee and not to worry. I would have never made the game in time due to my tickets being released to me so late. My request for a refund at 7am and 9am by message through Seat Geek app were ignored. I was told I am not getting a refund also over the phone around 5pm today because the event already passed but I requested a refund twice before the event happened. This is absolutely wrong. I will never do business with a shady company like this again! I will dispute this charge and I have all emails documented and the 5pm call recorded.

**Note the times from chat are wrong. That is what Seat Geek sent me! Real times are as shown next to actual emails.

Seatgeek sold me very obviously fake tickets. It is scary that they have no validation process, mine had been photoshopped. It was a sold-out concert (which is when you would expect fraud to happen most often, obviously) and they had no tickets available so I could not get in without paying 3 times as much, which they have no way of reimbursing you for. They need to be more diligent about ticket review and reserve pools of tickets for sold out shows to ensure their customers get in. Refunds dont matter if the show is sold out and I am already there.

SeatGeek cheated us
September 27, 2019

My son-in-law spent 200$ US on four tickets to a Calgary Flames pre-season hockey game. After he and I spent many hours with their customer service reps; we still have no tickets.

Booked 10 tickets to an NHL game this morning and received confirmation. At the end of the day, they sent an email that the event was canceled by the organizer. REALLY? The NHL canceled a game? Called customer service and they were not helpful. I explained that the NHL did not cancel the game and they continued to say it was.
I WILL Not use seatgeek every again.

Rude Customer Service
September 23, 2019

Had trouble getting tickets on app after purchase. Chatted with rep online and was advised to use another ticket agency after my credit card was charged $1000 or wait 24 hrs to see if charges went through. Asked to speak to a supervisor and rep ended my chat without resolution. 30 minutes after being hung up on without resolution my tickets came through. Had I gone to another ticket agency I would of had double the tickets. Wasn't impressed. I will use another ticket agency next time.

Gaining access to tix
September 19, 2019

I love the purchasing experience but finding my tix in the app is not intuitive. Clicking on the photo to get my tix with the bar code is not intuitive. Recommend placing an icon that is easier to access. Plus transferring them to my wallet would be great.

Good Experience Overall
September 19, 2019

I can always find good seats on the site, usually at a reasonable price. The thing that stings is the processing fee for each ticket. That adds up quick.

Compra de boletos bien
September 18, 2019

Es la tercera ocasión que compró por esta aplicación y en la ocasión anterior tuve problemas porque al seleccionar la fecha para tomar el tour del estadio AT&T la aplicación cambio la fecha sin yo darme cuenta, al llegar al estadio el día del recorrido me cuenta del cambio de la fecha, lo intente nuevamente por la aplicación y me di cuenta que el problema era de la aplicación, por lo cual decidí comprar nuevamente los boletos, pero ahora en el estadio, por lo cual tuve que pagar dos veces por el tour.
Para cualquier aclaración les doy mi número de teléfono de la ciudad de México *******102. Gracias.

Bad seats
September 18, 2019

My seats for the cardinals game were directly behind the foul pole. My wife and I were miserable the entire game. Not once was there mention of obstruction of view. Terrible experience.

Extortion fees

Your fees are ridiculous. It was literally the equivalent of buying more than one additional ticket. Shameful.

Website Hell
September 16, 2019

When stub hub works it's the best. When you can't buy any tickets due to some issue it has with your account and it keeps telling you no tickets are available when they are it makes for bad day.
