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.

Not only did Conner go out of his way to find paper tickets for a Cardinal baseball game fo a friend of mine who was surprising his wife, he instantly helped me purchase Lumineers tickets for me. What a nice option to have to speak with someone when questions arise. Thank you so very much..

Awesome Customer Service
September 3, 2019

I was having issues with the discount that was displayed on the site vs when I actually purchased the ticket. Hopped on the chat and Tyler J was quick to assist me over the phone. He took my information over the phone and now my ticket has been purchased with the discount. Thanks Tyler!

I called to get a single ticket for a concert to meet my friends that were already going. The helpful agent got me in that section and only 1 row away. He was fantastic!

I ordered 5 tickets for a Braves game through Groupon and authorized my Paypal account to be charged, NOT the card I kept on file with Groupon. However, when I went to claim my tickets, I realized there were 10 tickets instead of 5 and Groupon charged both my Paypal account AND my card on file. I tried to resolve this through both Groupon and Vivid Seats, and while Vivid Seats was more responsive, their solution was for me to claim the tickets and try to resell them myself. Groupon has basically stolen money from me and Vivid Seats could easily return the money and resell them themselves (since that is what they do anyway), but instead they are holding to the "fine print". I will never purchase through Vivid Seats again and will make sure to spread the word.

A True Rip-off
September 1, 2019

The cost of two tickets: $62.56 - the actual charge on our credit card: $120 which equals a "service charge" of $57.44! The East Hill Church should be ashamed to be a part of this and if Michael was aware of this then so should he. Needless to say we will be spreading the word among our fellow Christians about our experience. Having said that we still look forward to the concert on a "grin and bare it" sort of way.

Trying to buy tickets on line and there was a glitch so I called up and got Matt. He was so helpful and a pleasure to deal with. Would definitely call him again for tickets rather than use the computer system.

My 10% discount was removed in error on the website and I couldn't get it to reapply even through the emailed link. I called customer support and Shayne fixed it for me. He was very friendly and helpful and made sure that all of the details were accurate a few times for me to make sure everything went through correctly. I appreciate friendly customer service and the fact that my issue was resolved quickly, so thank you for that!
