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.

DO NOT USE! AVOID!
August 7, 2019

THIS SITE IS A SCAM AND WILL FRAUD YOU! AVOID AT ALL COSTS! I was thinking about buying tickets from them but decided the service fee was way too steep so I tried to exit out of the page. Instead, six pop up ads came up, freezing my screen, and then I got and email they had charged me $300! I never selected any kind of "confirm order" or something like that! Their response to stealing my money? "That's a shame..." STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS ILLEGITIMATE SITE!

I had a quick question and Justin G. Made it a very easy and successful transaction. He was extremely helpful and made sure that we received our tickets to all three games that we had questions about. He is an outstanding rep that gave me an outstanding effort. Well done!

It was good, I appreciate the help of customer service, it is very hard to download tickets and taking time to write 100 words is ridiculous, God bless every one

Misled then blown off
August 3, 2019

I called to purchase a parking pass because I wanted to make sure that I was closet to my entrance. I spoke to Brian who assured me that for the location of my seats parking lot C was the closest lot. I believed him and purchased a parking pass. I few minutes later I received an email and was able to look at the parking map and realized that lot C was on the opposite side of the building from my seats. I called back and spoke to Justin who told me that Brian was at lunch. He said that he could not help me and was transferring me to customer service. It was a recording. I called back again and was again transferred to customer service. This time I spoke to Jay who promised me that he was talking to a supervisor and they were going to look into and review the call and call me back. That was on Wed. Today is Sat and the concert is tonight. I tried the live text but that was a waste of time.

Email discount did not work, called to get it, but claimed original price was higher. So effectively discount was half of what it should have been if it had worked online as claimed.

I spoke with Daniel Fabry today in the phone and found some great seats our a Toledo Mud Hens baseball game.

Daniel was great to speak with on the phone and was able to answer all my customers.

I would definitely call back and ask to speak with Daniel directly with my next ticket order.
