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.

Justin was AMAZING
April 7, 2019

Justin was super helpful and very nice and polite to talk to. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to add a ticket to my order and he granted my wishes. Shout out to the real ROCKSTAR!

I just needed some details on the seating and Luke helped me understand that and he explained the best seats to me for a good price. I appreciate all the help!

I haven't bought concert tickets in a long time. Matthew H made it really easy for me.
I know my daughter and her friend will really enjoy the Chicago 2019 BTS concert. Thanks Matthew!

I was more than pleased when I was assisted by Marcus P. He is thoughtful & professional. Absolutely The Best! I needed 3 seats together for Chicago The Band. Terrific service from Marcus! He is one outstanding gentleman! I could not be happier with his very fine service!
Thank you!

I was having a hard time getting my credit card to go through online and called the vivid seats number... Matt was very professional and helpful, and got the tickets to go through! Our friends had a wonderful time at the concert, and I would def order tickets again with Matt's help.
Thank you!

Alex was very helpful, booked everything for us with no issues. I called him back about how the expected date the tickets were going to ship would be too late to get to us and he was reassuring and helpful.

Naomi at the 800 # was great help. I purchased tickets with ease. Now I wait until they arrive by the seller a few days before the event. This is scary but Vivid Seats stated I have 100% money guaranteed back if any problems.

I had to call vivid seats to order the tickets over the phone because the online option wasn't working for me. It said that I would get a discount but it wasn't applied at the end. I didn't have to wait on hold forever and the person who answered my call (Jason O'Donnell) was super friendly and helpful. He told me that for some reason the discount wasn't being applied online but he was happy to do the purchase over the phone. He was very efficient and helpful, he made sure I got the discount and knew exactly what he was doing while he was doing it. He checked to make sure he was purchasing the right tickets for the right time and date. It was a pleasure to have his help and I would recommend vivid seats to friend.

Personal experience
March 31, 2019

It is rare that people buy tickets over the phone anymore and because of a simple question, I will buy tickets over the phone again.
John was very personable and not only helped with the question that I had, but made buying the tickets enjoyable. It was a great experience and I can't thank John enough for helping with my purchase!

Mike was unbelievably helpful. He continued to look for the best deal with the constraint of not being able to receive an email with the ticket download on my smart phone. He was also very knowledgeable about the event. Give that man a raise!

Chris Rocks!
March 30, 2019

Chris was amazing! He nice, light, amicable, understandable, understanding and clear. He so pleasant to talk to and made me feel like I was a valued customer. He treated me with respect and was very professional. He understood my needs and found me the best tickets at the best value on the first try and gave me alternative options as well just in case. It was great speaking with him and next time I'm just going to call his extension directly because I know I will receive the best service and have an easy and pleasurable experience. Thank you so much Chris! You rock :)
