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.

Anniversary
March 10, 2020

My wife shared her surprise plans for our 16th anniversary. She was unsure of seating but knew I would love to go. We called VividSeats and they took care of us in good fashion. Now I wish they could hook me up with a jersey!

I was attempting to use the Vivid app. & I was having trouble. I called in for help and spoke with Brad. H absolutely took care of my Masters ticket needs (also saved me some money). I am a returning customer, and Brad helped ensure I'll for sure be returning again.

Worst service ever.
March 8, 2020

I ordered a parking pass for the Houston Rodeo. I selected Overnight delivery. But I won't receive it until the day of my event ( 3 days after purchasing)in which my mail doesn't come til after I had planned on leaving. They won't refund me because the pass has already been shipped. So as a college kid who actually works for her money losing $70 is a lot of money. Worst experience I've had buying tickets and it was my first time buying anything from here. I will never purchase anything from here again. Never had a problem like this on Stubhub or Seat geek.

Mark went above and beyond to help me with a promo code that wasn't properly functioning. He was patient and walked me through the appropriate discount. Without his help, I would not have bought my tickets through Vivid Seats.

Julian Gutierrez did a wonderful job-my computer was slow and he walked me thru several games before I bought 2 tickets. I will call on him again for future tickets. I should mention that the 10 % email coupon prompted me to call and check prices)Thank You.

I prefer to contact an agent by phone so they know what I'm looking for. They've always accommodated me and my group and got me what I wanted. Thank you.

I had the pleasure of ordering Tickets with Ronnie Casiello. Ronnie made my experience very easy and was not pushy. He made me feel like I was getting exactly what I was looking for. Ronnie was polite, informative, and professional. If I was ever to have anyone work under me, this is the type of person I would want. His knowledge and understanding of my needs made my experience super easy and definitely a future customer of his and or Vivid Seats. Thank you again for making my experience a pleasant one.

I've used vividseats.com a number of times to purchase tix. This time I called because I had some questions. Mark Jackson was absolutely amazing. He gave me tons of great info, did not pressure me at all and even allowed me to sleep on the decision and called me in the morning. Great experience.

The May show I had tickets to canceled due to Covid and was rescheduled for almost a year and a half later in Oct 2021. Vivid refused to refund the tickets I paid for with my credit card plus 100+ credit I had with them.
I filed a dispute with my credit card company which got back the money I paid but Vivid refused to return my $100 credit I had from a previous issue with them. I had to fight for what was right and then they stole my $100.
I deleted their worthless app, unsubscribed from future emails, and still receive emails so I will report it as spam.
I will NEVER use them again and I recommend nobody else does either.

I had issues online purchasing tickets for a concert, calling to speak with a representative is more complicated than it should be these days, I was on the line with someone quickly and he, Quentin (as in Tarantino) was humorous & helpful. Would highly reccomend.
