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.

Easy Fun & Done!
April 17, 2018

Was sent to this company from the concert arena website. Although the representative had an accent and I had to have him repeat a few times, he was VERY helpful. Prices have already skyrocketed, but he helped me find a decent seat for a fairly good (relatively speaking) price. It would have taken me much longer to run through this process on my own - comparing prices, etc. I wasn't familiar with the seating arrangement and it wasn't clear on any seating chart I could find. He had that info and was patient as he explained it all. I could then make an informed decision. Would recommend calling the *******497 number and letting the rep help you pick out a seat!

Nick was most helpful today and his level of customer service was exemplary. However, not only were the ticket prices jacked up,,, way up... so was the parking pass that I had no idea that I had to purchase until today.

Have never bought tickets on the secondary market so I called and spoke with an actual person. I know that I paid about $50.00 more than each of the seats were worth, but I was OK with that. What surprised me was that there was an additional $27.00 service charge. So two tickets that should have cost about $120.00, ended up costing me about $260.00 (I received a 5% discount from the person I talked to). So, I know I overpaid but I really wanted to see the concert and all the tickets were sold out for Brandi Carlile and this was the "going rate" on the secondary market. Hopefully the concert will be worth it. I would like to give the person I spoke to 5 stars, but because the amount I paid was so overpriced I would give VividSeats 0 stars. So I settled for 3 stars.

I was on the website but wanted to find out what the fees were before entering all my information. I called the 800 # got a quick response (spoke to Nick) who immediately hooked me up with the METS TICKETS. So easy and quick.

I spoke with John this morning. I had a question about a listing I had seen online. He answered my questions and was knowledgeable enough about the theater to make recommendations (which didnt require me to spend more money than I was looking to!)

Thanks for all of your help, John!

I was duped by this business. I went directly to the box office of LebanonOperaHouse
And they informed me that I had been scalped. I paid $100.00 more than I should have.
I am retired and I have been HAD. I will never ever buy tickets again from
VIVIDSEATS as it is all about duping the public. Shame on you- Marian

Luis assisted me in finding great seats at an affordable price. He explained the electronic process and how to obtain the e-tickets. He advised to allow one day for the email with the instructions however, I got the email moments after purchasing the tickets which was super good. Great job Luis!

Alex to the rescue
April 8, 2018

Ive been searching quite a bit to find tickets to this event. I thought I had them ordered through the online route. However, that was not the case. I rang up David seats. Spoke with Alex and he had everything squared away in a matter of moments. Thank you very much.
