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.

Buying tickets for our dream game was so easy and effortless. I cannot even tell you how helpful and patient Gary Baugher was with all of my difficult requests, haha. When you call, Gary's extension is 2573... seriously work with him and you will get exactly what you need from the greatest guy ever!

Vivid Seats is the only on-line ticket service I use! I've compared prices, quality, reliability, staff courtesy, friendliness, helpfulness and personal attention... Vivid Seats way exceeds all other ticket brokers! And, their prices for the same seats are lower than any of the other scalpers!
Sam was particularly helpful today!

Most all of our recent entertainment tickets have been purchased through Vivid Seats. When going directly to a venue you often find all seats are sold out or the selection is very limited. Vivid Seats has a much wider selection of seating options and venue options. The Agent I worked with today (Terrance) was incredibly helpful and patient with my fumbling around for the right credit card. Its a real honest to goodness human being to speak with, who does not make you feel rushed, or stupid or non tech~savy! He was helpful and made me feel like my business was just the best thing that happened to him today!

Tickets at Vivid Seats are way too overpriced than if you bought them at Ticketmaster! I bought 3 tickets to see Kendrick Lamar and they estimate around $300, but I then I tried to find 3 tickets at Ticketmaster just to compare prices, the tickets were way cheaper! They were $160; close to where my seats were when I bought them at Vivid Seats! And now I don't even know if you'll get a free copy of the album like you do if you bought the tickets at Ticketmaster if the concert you bought the tickets to was promoting their new album release!

Ross was the person helping me with the purchase of my Tom Petty/Heartbreakers tickets@ the TD Garden in Boston, MA
He was very gentle in responses to my questions, had a nice laugh... it was comfortable talking with him... like when you've known someone for a long time kind of comfortable!
Thanks again Ross Miner for your superb guidance! You have made a re-peat customer, when I'm able to go to events!

John is theeee man!
April 27, 2017

I'm getting tickets to a performer that my girlfriend has wanted to see since we started dating (3 years). I finally have the opportunity to take her and as oppose to going back and forth between websites to find a great deal I asked John if he could help me and being a long time vivid seat buyer, he helped save me a few dollars. I know a few dollars isn't much but it's the fact that he was willing to go the extra mile to make this event a bit more special. I sell cars and I can't tell you that I'm grate at what I do because I'm willing to go that extra mile like John. I will continue to buy my event tickets from vivid seats because no only did you help me get a good deal but you also gave me the opportunity to build a memorable experience with someone I love.
