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.

Stay away!
February 21, 2019

I don't know how there could be 5 * ratings here unless it's their own employees! I bought NBA tickets in August 2018 on Vivid Seats for a Feb. 2019
Event. When I have bought resale tickets at other vendors before, the
Tickets are immediately transferred to my name and then 48 hours before,
The tickets show up for mobile tickets. At Vivid Seats, you wait until
48 hours before for the owner to transfer them. It is now less than a
Day away and the owner has not transferred them. I have already called
Vivid Seats twice. I think it is set up this way, so scalpers can try to
Sell their tickets on several sites and see which site they get the
Best money for the tickets! My tickets will probably never show as
This is a high demand game! Vivid Seats claims if no show, I will get a
Refund after 2 hours before! What if I were traveling from out of town
And now no tickets?! They have held my money for 6 months and now no
Tickets. Either Vivid Seats should be forced to change their delivery
Policy or they should be shut down! Stay away!

Excellent job Dexter!
February 21, 2019

I was assisted by Dexter in purchasing a tix for Todd Rundgrenn. I had some questions that I needed answered. Dexter is very knowledgeable and very professional. He has a friendly manner and it was a pleasure to do business with him. Dexter is a great asset to Vivid Seats! I will not add a photo; my review should suffice.

I have used other ticket services but Vivid Seats is the best. I tried to order on line but ended up calling the 1-800 number. I spoke to Luke in Chicago - ext 3259. He was very helpful, upfront, explained to me about the cost, fees, etc. I felt very comfortable. Very good customer service. I made sure to keep his name and extension for future purchases.

Confusing
February 18, 2019

I was very confused. Wondering why it's cheaper per ticket to buy 2 seats vs 3 seats. Also wondering why we can't know our row & seats at time of purchase.

I tried multiple times but wasn't able to use the online coupon emailed to me but I called in and spoke with Rick. He's the best, he was very patient and helped me with the coupon to save me some money and got my tickets ordered! I spent a long time looking and Vivid Seats had the best deal on these tickets and much better customer service! Thank you so much Rick! Can't wait to see the Stones!

VividSeats Super Helpful
February 18, 2019

I needed tickets to a Spring Training game in Florida and called VividSeats to ensure that I got what I needed in the desired location. I spoke with a customer rep named Laura who helped me tremendously. Laura was kind, patient, helpful and professional. She made the transaction a breeze and I got what I wanted at a good price. Thank you again VividSeats.
