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.

I worked with Tyler at Vivid Seats to secure Tickets for a Tiger Game I wanted to go to this evening. He made the experience seamless and did a great job in answering all my questions and will use Vivid Seats & Tyler for securing Tickets for all the events I want to go to. Great Job to Vivid Seats & Tyler

Sorry I forgot the name I think it was Bradley X2570. But he was so helpful and knew what to do. I was off the phone in less than 5 minutes and had my tickets on the way. I ordered my first set online and it was as simple as can be. I will be using this site for my ticket needs again.

I was interested in buying tickets for WWE in CA - Nov 2018, and wasn't sure about certain processes and procedures. Rene helped me over the phone and I then purchased them over the phone. Since the event isn't til the end of the year. We shall see if there any issues with Vivid Seats. So far so good. Thanks Rene. Have a nice Weekend!

Adam helped me purchase tickets and a parking pass in one call. Unfortunately using the website would not allow me to combine these purchases. Adam made this so easy!

Mark was super helpful in ascertaining the best seats possible for myself and my son- having family members involved in MLB makes baseball a family tradition for us and he made our experience in getting great seats seamless and easy! Super thankful for his service- I will promote your service and sing your service!
