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.

Although I usually purchase online, I ran into a glitch and phoned Vivid Seats customer service line. Ryne could not have been more helpful; he processed my order, provided excellent information, and was knowledgeable, friendly, and patient. I highly recommend this very user friendly and competitively priced option for event tickets

Monique was excellent and I believe I'll work this out with my laptop. As I understand it, I can e-mail it to a friend and have them print the 2 tickets.

The website was having issues processing my purchase, so I had to call the 800 number and speak with an agent. Shane was courteous, professional, and very pleasant to speak with. He was able to solve the issue quickly and painlessly. Very impressed!

Morgan was awesome
August 26, 2019

I have never bought basketball tickets before. I was nervous to purchase these tickets because they were expensive and they were going to be a gift. When I talked to Morgan, he was beyond helpful. He was very patience with me and answered each one of my questions in a very happy manor. He did not seem annoyed at all and made me feel super reassured to purchase these tickets. He was very kind. I was nervous about the position of the seats and Morgan even reassured me the seats would be awesome because he had similar ones. It was so great to talk to someone so knowledgeable and kind. If I ever need to place an order in the future for tickets I will definitely be calling Morgan again! The site is not allowing me to attach a photo of my transaction but if you need credibility of my purchase I would be happy to send over my confirmation email. My email is *******@gmail.com

I was frustrated with the app and my inability to purchase tickets due to billing address issues. It's also super annoying to find the ticket price go up by 33% due to processing fees (can you just include that in the original price?). Customer service was very good in resolving issues but I would prefer a better app experience.

Also the inconsistency in price between mobile and web is annoying at best. I get that it makes Vivid more money probably but a ticket is a ticket and seeing it at 31 in the app and 35 on web just kind of annoys me.

I spoke with Morgan M. And he was great! He quickly found the sporting event I was wanting to attend and made my ordering experience stress free. He even briefly talked a little college football with me, which I enjoyed!
