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.

The man
June 14, 2018

The gentleman that helped me went out of his way to call the seller and make sure the tickets were correct. I am highly satisfied and will refer all my friends family and clients to your app/website

Just tried to purchase two tickets online and my card was declined by you so I called your 800 number and purchased two tickets for a total of $398 using my card. I immediately then got an email from you saying " You didn't complete your online purchase and if you do so now you will get $20 off the ticket price". I get this at the same time I get an email confirmation from you for my phone purchase. I should get the $20 off my purchase for all of the aggravation! The only bright spot in this transaction was Nick at Ext. 2802 who was quickly efficient. Your online service was time consuming and frustrating. I earned the $20 refund!

Second time I have ever bought tickets from Vivid Seats before, and not sure I will ever buy tickets from here again. This is not like other ticket sellers and reserve your seats for a certain amount of minutes while you check out. I called to buy tickets and gave them all my information FOUR times and the prices just ended up going up and up before I was only able to buy ONE ticket, and not two. First time I ever bought tickets off Vivid Seats, the tickets were duplicates and were already used. Took about 10 days to get my money back. I have never had this problem with StubHub or Ticketmaster and I attend pretty much 2 concerts a month. I do not recommend Vivid Seats at all!

Renée was very patient and understanding. He took his time to offer me different choices and I did not feel rushed at any time. He provided exactly the kind of service that I value

I have used Vivid Seats exclusively for the past 3 Years. They are consistently the lowest price of Thier Competition and have reasonable fees that don't double the Ticket Price. Vivid's Customer Service is professional and thorough and always want The Customer to be satisfied.

Help with parking
June 7, 2018

I purchased tickets for an FGL concert in Columbia, MD. If you did not buy the tickets from the venue, they didnt assign you parking. So when I tried to find parking it was difficult. I called vivid seats and within minutes they found me parking for $12. What a relief! Thank you for helping me out and for the great customer service.

Grateful from Delaware

I have used Vivid seats for many events. I have compared prices to other sites and they are always cheaper. I like that I can print my tickets at home!
