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.

Pleasant conversation and informative about dedicated customer programs. Great customer service experience. Would like to see the breakdown of tix cost, applicable fees and discount on the email invoice. The representative did walk me thru the individual costs, which was appreciated.

Spent an hour on the trying to purchase a gift card, was told a representative would call me back to verify the purchase, the rep that called me could not confirm any of the card info or any information i had provided to the first representative. Very sketchy and strange, wont ever purchase from this sight again

Good recovery
July 17, 2018

My first purchase with VividSeats unfortunately resulted in fake tickets. But the customer service rep who I spoke with helped initiate an investigation which led to a complete refund, and credit for the inconvenience. Redeeming the credit was a quick and easy phone call.

Just want to thank Jose at vivid seats customer service department. Made it simple. Sometimes automation is not the way to go. Human interaction still works.

I was hesitant to call because Ive had bad experiences with other ticket companies in the past. I should have known that Vivid Seats would be different! My total time on the phone was less than 6 minutes, including hold time! Amazing... Excellent... everything I can do on the App!

We bought 20 tickets to a baseball game. I called since it was such a large order. The lady(Anna) on the phone was wonderful. She was patient, kind and very pleasant. She set up the order, I paid, had my confirmation email and tickets printed in less than 20 minutes. Most definitely will use Vividseats again.

Found my discounts
July 14, 2018

Rene- I had trouble getting a discount to register with my computer. Choices were explained and the ticket buying experience was simple, and easy to do. Professionally handled and tickets were printed and in my possession in 2 minutes. Thanks.

I purchased tickets for a concert through Vivid Seats. Without asking, they switched my seats to a less desirable location in the venue. They would not exchange or refund the changed purchase. I spoke with a senior manager and she said she could not help me.
I purchased price of two tickets was $267each 3 month before the event, and now the price is $150each! They offer now refund no exchange! Please purchase your ticket from somewhere else!
