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.

Joseph was patient and informative. Appreciated his help. Just found the tickets to be expensive. However, he did provide plenty of alternatives.

Hockey tickets

"Q" was both personable, professional and patient in helping us purchase tickets to see our BOSTON Bruins play the FL Panthers here in FL in March. He explained the process perfectly and we now have our tickets at the price we were looking for and look forward to rooting for our home team. Go Bruins!

I was having trouble with my purchase while checking out. It wasn't accepting my address as a valid address so I contacted customer service through the chat and was connected with Lucas where he was very helpful I had to make my purchase through the phone with him and he helped bypass my problem.

Never received tickets
January 13, 2020

Bought tickets through Vivid who happily took my $1000 and sent me three confirmation emails over the months leading up to the event. Three days before the event when I was supposed to receive my tickets, I get a text from Vivid Seats informing me they were unable to procure seats to my event. Too late now to try and buy tickets anywhere else, l already booked flights and accomodation and I am still waiing for my my refund!

GEORGE WAS AWESOME
January 11, 2020

Great experience. George at xtn 3287 was great.
I would only recommend that you arm him with more info on as many venues as you can. Meaning a database of specific reviews and or input from others that he can refer to when consulting a ticket purchaser. I spent $1600 and for that- i would be much happier if he had the ability to discuss specifics of the venue and seats i was considering and eventually purchased. He "closed" me without being able to give me this info. And it was ok because i liked him and trusted his limited knowledge.
I do highly recommend Vivid as other as well dont have any more info.
So- my highest recommendation.
Thanks George!

I have never purchased tickets before from either VividSeats or this theater. So, I really wanted some advice.

When I asked Chris, the agent helping me, for advice on seating for a party including a 13 year old, he gave me a good rational for picking tickets in a specific area. So, I finished the transaction happy with my choice.

I called Vivid Seats and talked with Joe about Bulls tickets. He gave me incredible service and made the experience great! Very impressed with Vivid Seats as they are much more willing to work with ticket buyers than StubHub! Thanks Joe for doing a great job. Scott G

Due to high traffic, the website wasn't processing my order. I called and immediately dealt with a person rather than an obnoxious voicemail. Luke S. Was great! He was efficient and thorough, very pleased with my first experience on Vivid. I will definitely use them for future events. PS - the call operators leave their personal extension so you can go directly back to them if you have any problems. Thanks!

On Dec. 22,2019, I was purchasing a ballet ticket for the event to take place in January 2020. I chose the exact date and paid a pretty hefty price. A few moments later I received an email confirmation stating that I "successfully" purchased a ticket for July 2020! I would never plan that far in advance. Looks like their scam scheme is to sell fake tickets with a far off date so that the refund would not be possible. I contacted their customer service right away - they flat out refused to refund me. I tried to send several emails - they kept sending robotic refusals in response. Now trying to get this resolved by paypal. I will never use this company and do not recommend anyone to use them either. Terrible people.
