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.

Fernando was very thorough in getting my tickets.
Before I bought them, I asked him questions and he was truthful in answering them.

Excellent
March 18, 2019

I called in due to an issue with the app trying to purchase tickets. Initially I used the chat support and at first was thinking this was not a legitimate site, however after dealing with the chat and their recommendation to call the support it was answered quickly by my man Alex who was most helpful explained everything to the letter and the issue was resolved and corrected. I am very satisfied and will use this as my primary site to purchase tickets in the future

The big rip off
March 16, 2019

I'm a first time buyer. I called in because I could not log on to your site. The price of the tickets that I purchased were $40 each and with my $10 first purchase discount of $10 made the tickets ARE $35 only to be charged $47 per tickets not including the fees. I already found in a complaint I'm waiting for a call back

Tyler was wonderful. He searched forever for my perfect seats, and patiently waited for us to decide. Thanks Tyler for everything.

As far as the extra fee's y'all charge. They are outrageous.
I will NEVER buy from you again!

The agent I dealt with was efficient, helpful and answered all my questions. He was not pushy and gave me enough information to choose the right tickets for me. Thanks!

I had some issues with a coupon I received in my email and Luis helped me and patiently waited for me to contact another person who was going to go to a concert with us.
Pleasure working with him and will work with Vivid seats again because of Luis!
