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.

Couldn't order online because credit card flagged for possible fraud. Got right through, got my ticket and will be off to Aerosmith! Jonathan was super helpful and gave me his extension in case of a problem.

I have a strong feeling that the sports teams work carefully with the likes of VividSeats and other competitors to control the ticket supply and demand. There is no doubt that some sports teams in particular have a direct hand in what is happening on the secondary market. By manipulating the supply and demand, sports teams control prices in ways that most consumers never comprehend.

Julio Rodriguez was able to help us get tickets for a Cubs vs. St. Louis Cardinals and arrange to have them shipped to a different address than our billing address. He was very helpful and did give us a discount of 5% as well

Ticket purchase
August 29, 2018

I have never had such a pleasant experience purchasing tickets. Jake Dailey, the young man who helped me was very patient with my questions and most helpful in helping me make my decision. I will most definitely use VividSeats again due Jake!

I've used Vivid Entertainment for tickets to mostly ALL concerts, I've attended and have never encountered any problems. Their service via telephone is outstanding! I commend them for people like me who at times can't purchase online due to password/ect., I'm thrilled to helped by a human person on the other line. Many thanks and a very appreciative repeated buyer!

Good Job

My wife ordered two tickets to Ed Sheeran's concert back in april (Order# *******). The tickets were never delivered. Everytime we call, wait time was long, and the custom service just resent the same email to us (not the ticket transfer email) without solving any issue. When we ask vivid seats to resend the ticket transfer email, the CS always says it is up to the seller to send it. In the end we did not receive the tickets, and missed the event. And WORST thing is vivid seats refused to fully refund, insist the seller has sent us the ticket transfer email. Worst experience ever. Should have just used ticketmaster

I called vivid seats with a desperate attempt for a last minute Ariana Grande ticket after Front Row ticket brokers ripped me off. Not only did I get a ticket, but the rep called me within minutes to meet. Gabe from Chicago, you are the best... unlike Randy from Front Row Tickets! I will always do business with Vivid Seats. Sincerely, your biggest fan. No ticket broker should ever steal from a customer literally 2 hours before an event starts. My 16 year old daughter only works a part time job, you basically stole from her. Front Row and TND who was the supplier are awful people. VIVID you came through 100% 1 hour before showtime, and I will forever be greatful!
