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.

Kyle T. Was very helpful. I appreciate him taking the time to help me. I had a situation on the website and app where it would not accept my billing address... though it is the only address I have ever used. Kyle helped clear everything up over the phone and I was successfully able to get my tickets. Tickets are incredibly pricey though I have to admit, but what are you going to do. At least this site has great customer service.

I was having trouble completing an online purchase when I called customer service and was directed to Matthew H. He was quickly able to retrieve the exact tickets that were previously in my online cart and help me purchase them over the phone. It was such a seamless experience that in the future I may consider calling in all my orders through Matthew H. Rather than completing them online. Thank you, Matthew!

I was placing my order on line then decided to call directly, Connor had stated that he could help me and get them cheaper over the phone. He assisted me all the way thru the process and even said if I have any questions to call him direct.

Alexis was terrific - great customer service. She helped me complete the order, was competent and friendly. Very pleased.

I just wish Vivid gave the option, like some other sites, of seeing early on the final price including all fees.

Your sales rep, Monique, was incredible. Give her a raise so you won't ever lose her. Thanks for such great service! We're looking forward to seeing "To Kill A Mockingbird" with Jeff Daniels on Broadway in NYC this coming weekend.--Farrell & Diane Smith

I logged on to Vivid Seats and needed a little help with the purchase of some MLB tickets so I hit the Chat tab. Ryne S. *******499 ext. 3211) came on and was awesome. He helped me get thru the purchase and I was able to get a discount on top of it all (I am retired US Army after 28+ years of service). Anyway he did a great job and I will be able to take my daughter and grandchildren to a Rangers vs Tigers baseball game. Thank you again Ryne.

I only purchase tickets in the secondary market because I want the best seats I can afford for each event. I have used several agencies but I have to say that Ashley did a great job of making it easy and I never knew that I could call and speak to someone specific. She even made sure that I got the best price available.

I called in for help with tickets because I wanted to be sure we would receive them in time. Monique (ext 2670) helped me. She was super helpful and went the extra mile to ensure I was totally happy. I never felt rushed and I will absolutely call her next time we want tickets.

I wanted to buy Elton John tickets for my 50th birthday and I had a lot of questions before putting my money down. Mark J. Was very patient and friendly and answered all my questions, even when I asked some of them twice. I couldn't have connected with a kinder person. Thank you, Mark!
