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.

Monique answered all of my questions. I did not want to have to use my phone to access the concert and she was able to set the ticket purchase up to have the tickets emailed to me in a PDF. LOVE IT!

Waste of money
April 16, 2019

SCAM! Got tickets 5 months in advance for pink concert on April 13th Honda center for $84 plus tax and fees came up to $110 from vividseats. The sit was the highest sit on the 4th floor. When we got there it was too high so had to change it. When we tried to upgrade the lady in box office said it's 3rd party we cannot change it. We got second floor sitting for $75 on the same day of the show. Better sitting and was near the stage. Box lady told us our original ticket was $55. Waste of money to buy from vividseats. No cancelation or refund. It's better to buy from box office. Came up cheaper.

Monique is great
April 15, 2019

Monique helped me in any way she could. She answered all of my questions. She was excellent. On the downside, you could have offered me 20% off to begin with. Also, your extra charges are outrageous, 25% of the ticket. Can't even tell me what the breakdown of the charges are.

For some unexplainable reason my original purchase was rejected, refunded, and I was without tickets. Once finally cutting through the automated system and getting to a human, Dexter, the situation was resolved and tickets purchased. System was a little rough, but the personnel was very helpful.
