Charlie was very friendly and helpful. I was having issues getting an order processed via the app and with his help I was able to get the tickets ordered. Highly recommend
Vivid seats app would not let me buy to tickets to Lion King & only showed two dates. Charlie got it done!
Eugene was extremely helpful and made the buying experience seamless and enjoyable. He answered all questions and even provided a discount. He saved my day and more importantly saved me money.
100 out of 10 because of him
I called for informations and there were very helpful and give me also a discount for my purchase. They also give you the possibility to score points, I alway buy from them. The have the best prices.
It was quick and easy plus the rep offered me a discount over the phone. Great quick experience overall!
My event has been cancelled to a other day and of course there saying its my problem to resell the tickets. The lady that handled my claim was very rude
Richard was really helpful with finding me seats to a concert. He was also really friendly, understanding and patient with me.
I was overcharged by over $100. They said the seller determines the price but they charged $100 than the listed price. My advice is never used these site to buy your tickets. Fraud
As a very cautious buyer, I was a bit hesitant to purchase from Vividseats.com because this is going to be my first time to purchase from this site. But I'm glad I did the tickets I purchased though was over the phone and I'm so happy ABEL A. Was the representative/customer service person who helped me and my cousin during this crucial time to purchase tickets for BTS PTDLV. Abel was exceptional, patient and provided an amazing customer service experience for first time purchaser like us. He explained everything thoroughly and willing to wait until we get a ticket confirmation in my email. He answered my questions with a professional manner and NOT one bit that he ever express any annoyance while I ask him multiple questions regarding the process of purchasing tickets and if We are really getting the tickets the same day. I've read other reviews saying they didn't get their tickets or waited long. But not when Abel is the person to help you. So when you call Vivid seats customer service *******143 look for Abel A. You will not get disappointed he will provide that Exceptional customer service experience that we all look for and appreciate. Vivid seats gained loyal customers like us. Will definitely purchase from this site again. So hopefully the rest of the customer service reps are as amazing as Abel.
I called in to place an extra order for one more ticket and Sammy M was more than willing to help me. He was very professional and very kind. Definitely made ordering through vividseats a great experience.
The ticket resale sites are numerous and very few offer live or phone assistance. Our concert is about two months from now so the story is not complete yet. However I feel fairly confident that we will not have any issues as far as our tickets are concerned. Ticket Master does not offer phone assistance as you probably know. The only weird thing is that my confirmation email from Vivid seats actually took me to Ticketmaster's website. Again, this resale ticket game is a bit confusing and or convoluted to say the least.
Imagine my surprise when I was denied entrance to the Shen Yun 3/19/22 performance at the Keller Auditorium in Portland OR after purchasing box seats for over $500. I was asked to go to the box office. They informed me the original tickets were canceled in 2020 by James Herbert. Vivid Seats sold invalid tickets. I had used the site because of the 100% guarantee of ticket verification. Imagine my surprise when I emailed their customer support and their response was basically you can try to have your bank fight the charge but you will probably not win. To see the show I had to buy new tickets $320 and was told there were only 6 seats left. Thank God I had the money and we got to the there yet early. What a scam the original ticket holder had going! Shame on Vivid Seats for not honoring their guarantee of verified tickets and their intimidation tactics to get me to not pursue fighting a fraudulent charge with my bank!
Ordered tickets says they will email but u need other apps that we couldn't open called for help the customer service guy just yelled and put us on hold. Called back to get a refund and no refund. Don't waste ur time thru this company! Won't ever use em again!
WARNING, WARNING, WARNING! I literally got to the concert, Elton John Final Tour, and was told my tickets were BOGUS. They said Vivid Seats and the like, Stub Hub, is a clearing house made up of individuals to sale tickets.
BUT, and its a big one, they can RESALE YOUR TICKETS if by chance your event is RESCHEDULED! I was in a long line of people that were having the same problem at the concert door. I ended up having to buy the only remaining tickets at the box office that were literally behind the stage and I couldn't even see Elton John on his final tour to Dallas ever! Very sad! Look at all the bad reviews on here, they are all centered around rescheduled events. Not only that, but customer service who states 100% guarantee, HUNG UP on me when I called in for reparations. I lost 2,000.00. I tell you what, you cannot let your guard down for one second these days because someone is out there trying to take advantage or trying to take your money! It is very sad and sickening this has become the new American Dream!
I purchased tickets for a spring training baseball game which ended up being cancelled. I've emailed, called and chatted with a robot to no success. By far the worst customer experience!
Customer service was awesome Vanda was so helpful and made sure I got my tickets. And explained everything fully. She was great highly recomend.
I made a purchase on vividseats for upcoming Raptors game on Friday. But I got a cancellation email, so I called to confirm and see what the problem was. Richard was so so helpful and nice with the process of re-purchasing the tickets, and explaining what needed to be done. For any future purchases, I'd definitely call to make them with Richard!
I purchase tickets to go to the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas and my tickets were fraudulent. I could not get into the venue since they scanned Invalid. The seller sold them twice. My friends were able to get a photo of the individuals tickets that were sitting my our seats that cost over 1,000.00 dollars. We were able to prove that they were fraudulent. Vivid says they have a guarantee that your tickets are valid and authentic or they pay you back, which is wrong. Its been 3 months and I still have not been reimburse for the tickets. They come up with every excuse not to pay you back. "Theres a form that you did not fill out, etc." I have sent every form, all the proof and I have no refund.
I called to purchase tax because the online platform would not complete my order. Marie was easy helpful and easy to work with. My order went through and now I've got the tix I wanted. Thanks Marie!
Answer: They are a site just to help scalpers. Don't trust their tickets!
Answer: That is a good concern because I never did and they won't give me my money back either
