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.

Just wanted to say that in a world where customer service is sometimes less than desirable, Michael is a gem! He was able to resolve my problem and was patient enough to call back to finish my order after I resolved a problem with my payment. I really appreciate his service!

It got handled very fast and they had answers to all of the questions I had. She was very clear and made sure I was getting everything I wanted. I would say that you guys should read everything aloud to the person purchasing more because my name was misspelled but other than that it was all amazing.

Great service
August 22, 2018

I always like speaking with someone on the phone instead of shopping online. Monique was awesome. She was very knowledgeable and friendly. She helped us get the best deal for the tickets we purchased. Great job Monique. A total asset to the company.

Lucky to get a ticket

I understood the Portugal. The Man show was sold out. I called Vivid Seats and was treated with great respect. It was a very easy transaction.

I am super happy and grateful for the attention received from Ray. Very patient, with a smile in his voice and showing that he loves and knows what he does. Thanks to you, I can go to see my dear Shakira, who is Barranquillera like me. Mire que en Barranquilla baila así! I hope everything will stay good after the concert.

Hoping for the best
August 21, 2018

I've had two different sets of tickets taken away from me due to "reconfiguration" at the venue. One order was from StubHub, and the second was from SeatGeek. If VividSeats is able to come through with tickets, I will make sure everyone I know hears about it.

Regardless of whether the seats come through or not, my representative, Arthur, was very pleasant, empathetic, and did his best to try to ensure they would be available. Fingers crossed.

Loved how easy it was for now on I'm doing it that way on a call! The phone call was helpful and nothing went wrong. Once I told the person on the phone where I wanted to sit he found it easily and it took maybe less then five minutes to do great way to handle it without the hassle.

Had spent considerable time trying to place order online and determine most cost effective method to receive the best possible deal. Contacted Aris who was able to lower somewhat the service fee charges which appear high. Would work again with Aris should the need arise.

We got things done.
August 18, 2018

Iris, if I remember her name correctly, was an outgoing agent. She would listen to my concerns, comments, and questions and give me as much feedback that I needed to have as quickly as possible. Our conversation didn't last hours which is good. We got things done with both of us being on the same page and I purchased the tickets I needed, and wanted.

Caesar is great!
August 18, 2018

Called for very specific tix - aisle seats. Not only did he find them but in Row A which is even better. He is friendly, accommodating and best of all did not try to push a sale which made me want to do business with him!
