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.

Great Customer Service
October 3, 2018

I purchased my parking pass over the phone instead of online. I spoke with James, who was very helpful and answered any and all questions I had as I am not familiar with the area at all. Shortly after getting off the phone, I received my email confirmations and I was not comfortable with the ship date of my ticket as I was coming from out of town and wanted to have it in time. I called back and left James a message. Later that day, I received an email with tracking information and an estimated delivery of just two days later. Amazing customer service!

I ended up with a person named "Nick" on the phone and he was very helpful in placing my order today. Your website was "stuck" in the "place order" mode and I had already inputted my credit card information and was VERY concerned because I didn't want to be charged for the "stuck order." Nick reassured me that the order wouldn't have gone through and that I have not to worry. I then proceeded to place my order over the phone with Nick and received my order via email within minutes and am very happy! Thank you Nick!

Rene was able to help me get the right tickets, get them delivered to my hotel in advance of my trip and apply a discount I had. He did all of this much faster than I could on line, and provided me excellent advice. I deal with a lot of customer service people, and usually not such great experiences, but Rene was the rare representative who knows his job and conducts himself in a friendly and professional manner. Thanks!

While on vacation I purchased 4 very expensive tickets ($1,600 total) months in-advance and was advised after purchase that tickets had to be delivered via overnight or mail vs sending them to me electronically even though I had requested at time of purchase to have electronic delivery (and that was listed as an option). Vivid then sent tickets without consultation and they were returned as we were on vacation. Vivid now charging $25 to have tickets sent again. The kicker is that I was on hold twice for over 30 minutes twice trying to get the tickets sent. No one answering phones and so called "live online service" did not get a response either. Vivid makes it easy to get your money and are the worst at customer service or showing up once you have paid and they have your money. WARNING>>>DO NOT USE VIVD AS THEY ARE AWFUL!

Michael White rocks!
October 1, 2018

I purchased tickets for a Seahawks game coming up in London. I was very nervous about it, was there a currency exchange? Would we get the tickets on time? What was it like to get to and from the statium?

Micheal made me feel heard and provided me with simple answers. He was patient and very nice to me

Because I do not own a smart phone or a tablet, I could not purchase tickets on line. Fernando at vividseats was wonderful and got me tickets to 2 concerts I really wanted to see. They will be mailed to my house by UPS. Great service!

I have never had such good service, I would purchase tickets from vivid seats just because of James and the patience he had with us deciding which tickets to purchase!
