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.

I was completely taken care of by Jason and felt like he was really happy to help me. I was assured by him that I could call back if I needed extra help with transferring the tickets to my phone. Thanks for a pleasant experience.

I tried to leave a review of the ticket agent - stayed on the line- it didn't transfer me. He looked for options to get me a better deal and it worked!

The reason I called was because the service fee for the tickets were 25% of the total cost of the ticket, which seemed high. I was hoping to get an explanation as to why they were so high since the total in service fees came to $200, and the individual I spoke to seemed inpatient with my question, and ill-informed of the reason the fee was so high. To be honest, my entire interaction felt rushed and as if he was frustrated with me. The experience was not positive for me.

Disappointed
November 22, 2018

When I order tickets from other places (ie Dodger tickets) I'm able to see the exact location of the seats I'm purchasing. I just purchased tickets to DWTS on 3/*******. I wanted mid to back orchestra section towards the middle. I specifically said I didn't want to stuck with aisle seats and the agent said that probably wouldn't happen. Sure enough, as soon as they printed out... aisle seats. I'm really angry and not likely to use Vivid Seats again... oh, and I paid $70.00+ more than the price listed for two lousy seats... What a rip-off.

Awesome customer service
November 21, 2018

The customer service rep, Angel, was courteous, professional, and helpful. The basketball tickets for the rivals Tennessee v Kentucky are always sold out at the University ticket office, but was able to purchase thru vivid seats.

This was so easy. I was worried how to get this done! Monique walked me through the entire process and before we hung up, my gift cards were already emailed to me ready to print for gift giving.

Great advice and service. Helped me with a transaction issue that I created. I will ask for him in the future at ext. 3038!
For the people who think it's overpriced, you should know this is a secondary market for ticket sales. The theater was out of the tickets I wanted and Vivid was able to supply them, so the value for me was there. Again, great experience for me.

Great customer service
November 19, 2018

I'm giving Johnny(the operator on the phone) a 4 star review because he made things a thousand times easier for me. He went out of his way to find out the Canadian dollar exchange rate so I can get my tickets. I'm taking away 1 star from a possible five because, although I got great service. I'm still waiting for the e-mail so I can download the tickets. Will use this service again if all goes well.
