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.

Quick and easy
August 9, 2018

You pay a pretty good premium for the tickets but they are professional and provide end to end service.

So glad I used this service to buy our tickets for the Bears at Bills game in November. The process was so easy. Only thing I didn't like is not knowing what seat numbers we will have.

I called in to ask a question about seats. The rep, Jake, spoke in a professional manner and was very friendly. Jake didn't linger on the phone. He handled all my request in a timely manner and toward the end of the call he verified all my questions and concerns were answered.

That was Easy
August 7, 2018

I made a last second purchase for concert tickets and it was so easy except that I'm an idiot and forgot to use the 4 digit security code on my Amex card. I called the 800 number on the website, got through immediately and a gentleman named Alex did the transaction for me in minutes. Professional service still exists today!

I was having trouble buying tickets online but the customer service representative, Renée, provided really easy to follow and great customer service, so thank you! I just had one request. I submitted my order verification but for some reason the box that I checked to get the the tickets delivered via UPS was left unchecked, so if possible could I have that done because I did want to authorize that. Thank you! Best regards. Order number *******

Frustration
August 5, 2018

My experience was frustrating. The online site would not work, so I had to go to an agent. The ticket prices were nearly double the face value and included high additional charges and handling fees even though the tickets were downloaded. A smart phone is required to show the tickets at the event. I was not able to cancel my order even though I called within 10 minutes of the order. I will not use this service again.
