I mistakenly purchased 2 tickets for the Diamond Backs – Reds game for, what I thought was on Monday 5-13. Unfortunately, I saw 2 very good tickets for the Diamond Backs – Reds game on Monday but, it was for the same teams playing in Ohio. I live in Phoenix. Seat Geek would not refund me the $100 I erroneously purchased even though I noticed the mistake within 30 seconds of my purchase. Seat Geek has a strict no-return policy. They stuck me with those tickets. Never again will I use Seat Geek.

I planned over a month in advance to take my family to the NHRA Arizona nationals on March 26th. I found tickets and purchased them for over $700.00 on February 19th. My order was confirmed 2 days later. On the morning of March 25th I still did not have my Tickets in my account. I started a support chat and had to wait about 30 mins. The chat representative was very help full looking up my account. At this time I find out my tickets are coming from a third party and she has sent them a message to transfer the tickets immediately. I was then told the tickets will show up by the next morning. 5:00 am on March 26th I wake up and no tickets. I call seat geek and get an agent on the phone. I get the same response let me call the third party to transfer your tickets. I asked what are you going to do when I don’t get my tickets and the event starts in 2 hours. I was told my tickets will show up and to let them make some calls. The call ends and I stuck waiting to see if I have tickets to go to an event that my family has been looking forward to for months. 30 mins later I get a text saying they are going to give me a refund because they can’t get my tickets and there are no comparable tickets available. This company does not care about you or your event. Find another company to use that has good customer service.

I ordered two tickets a month before a concert and got an e-mail that my order was confirmed. Then two weeks later I got an email deceptively titled “Here’s an additional credit on your next event with seat geek” but it actually takes a careful read of the email to realize that they screwed up the order and you don’t have tickets at all. They say they give you a 110% refund but that is only as a promo code if you get the refund as cash you only get 100%. This of course doesn’t take into account that I have to pay double for the tickets now that it is much closer to the concert date than I did if I had purchased them from a competitor like Stub Hub. I wonder if they even have a confirmed seller or they just say they do so they can get your business, then if it turns out they don’t have a seller they just say something happened to the order and give you a refund which seems like a scam.

Toto cancelled their concert for March 10, 2022 with no reason given. Tickets purchased through Seat Geek have yet to be refunded. Starting to believe I am getting the run around. Do not purchase tickets from Seat Geek. My email responses are poorly English written replies.

I wish I could leave a review with no stars! I bought tickets for the 2022 NCAA Men’s Basketball Final Four through them. When I bought the tickets, I purchased two tickets for three games, the two semi-final games on April 2 and the final game on April 4. The final four was held in New Orleans. My receipt denoted the tickets prices for “All Sessions April 2 and April 4” which was for all three games. When our tickets were scanned for the semi-final games, there was no problem. When we showed up for the final game, our tickets were not available and the error message on the app indicated “Order fulfilled.” My wife and I worked for two hours up until game time to resolve this issue. The Seat Geek app feature was worthless and there was no phone number we could locate to try to figure this issue out as the tip-off for the game was quickly approaching. The Seat Geek app eventually led us to Ticketmaster. The Ticketmaster phone number auto reply message told us to go to the Caesar’s Superdome box office. the box office told us the tickets had been sold to someone else. Since returning home, I have attempted to get my refund to no avail. seat Geek sold our tickets to someone else and refuses to issue a refund.

After many hours on the phone over a period of a few days and many empty promises to get back to me with an answer I asked for a refund. It was never given but after more phone calls we received an email with tickets included directly from the seller. I will never use this platform again.

Wish we could rate them ZERO. Arrived at the theater will call window tonight and they could not locate our tickets. We had the printed confirmation from Seat Geek we received online this week. My wife waited on the Seat Geek customer service number for 45 minutes while I tried to contact them online. Absolutely no answer either way. No customer service period.

SeatGeek is a TERRIBLE service. I do not recommend using this service. First off they broker all tickets and almost every ticket has to transfer from the owner outside of SeatGeek. SeatGeek provides no assurance or commitment to this process. Second, they don’t have a customer support system that responds to issues. It is impossible to get customer service when there is a service interruption (like not receiving transfer tickets). Third, in the cases where you actually do get an external transfer notice, they typically come within about 48 hours before the event. If for any reason you need to sell your tickets this process severely limits your ability to get your tickets sold. At the beginning of the College football season, I bought about $3000 dollars of tickets via SeatGeek. To date, I have lost over $1000 dollars due to SeatGeek’s terrible service. I repeat do not use SeatGeek.

Most strategic scamming I have ever encountered. I waited minimum 45min to an hour and 20 minutes to reach a sales rep after having to resort to my bank statement to locate a phone number. I ordered tickets to a concert because I fell for the guise, cheaper than face, guaranteed delivery, so on and so forth. Ironically, I went through this site as I didn’t want to risk Craig’s List. No tickets day of…after two phone calls saying I’d get the tickets. They’ll do anything in their power, scripts, placing you on hold, fabricating stories in order to place the blame on the buyer. All their money goes into branding, manipulation and small print preventing a buyer from suing. You’ll notice this manifests in the first reviews one sees while investigating their legitimacy, and then the truth revealed beyond a few scrolls. I’m out over $200, and reporting them federally. My stakes are small in comparison to the hundreds of reviews I’ve read that track with my miserable experience, costing trusting consumers upwards of $1000. I’ve spent over 9 hours attempted to get a confirmation of a refund, and keep getting the same script. “We’ll call you at X time and email you once our leads confirm”….they’ve never called and the only reason I know what I know is because I’ve taken the time to keep waiting on hold for new scripts. I feel sorry for those paid to protect such predators. Shame.

I was looking at a parking pass in the NEW Seatgeek app on my phone but the $56 price was a complete ripoff so I went to the Mets website and purchased a pass directly from them using my PC. Later that evening I checked my email and was shocked to see an email from SeatGeek confirming my purchase of a parking pass! Not sure what the heck happened but I DID NOT authorize this purchase. I emailed customer service and an agent by the name of JARVEY told me he could issue me a $55 promo code once I agreed to not use/resell the tickets in an email which I did. And THAT is where ALL communication ended. I HAD been fully willing to accept a promo-code instead of a refund but at this point I’ve had it and will be leaving the disputed charge in place. This isn’t the first problem I’ve had with SeatGeek but it WILL be the last! They will never see another dime of my hard-earned money and I was stupid to give them another chance!!!! Again DO NOT buy anything from these folks … the slightest problem and you’ll be out in the cold unable to actually reach anyone competent that can help.

As a ticket seller, I see some problems. First, the seat ratings. I see a very expensive seat that is lousy get a :Great rating and a great, cheaper seat get ignored. Buyers should not rely on the ratings. Look at the description of where the seat really is and compare actual costs of the tickets. The rating system is very deceptive. Also the cost of transactions is transferred to the buyers to keep down the cost for the seller. A buyer should make sure he shops with all fees included. Other ticket sites do not pile so many fees on the buyers. Sellers should take this into account when pricing tickets. If a ticket is listed at $100 on other sites, it should be listed at $90 here.

First Seatgeek refused to give me a refund a year ago when my game was canceled. But they offered credit towards another event 110% of what I spent. So I decided to go to another game the next year. They charged me $77 dollars fee per ticket and I found out the people sitting in the row in front of me paid $60 dollars less per ticket. I WILL NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY EVER AGAIN !

published review 4/12/21 I really hope reviews like this will stop people from using this website. I’ve never had such a bad experience of purchasing tickets in my life. I bought 2 tickets for a hockey game, got the confirmation email that I was supposed to receive ticket from the third party and that I shouldn’t be worried if I don’t get it right away, because most likely I’ll receive it on the date of the event. Which is already weird and makes no sense, but I went with it and waited till the day of the game. 4 hours before the game Ive got really worried, started reaching out to them, emailed twice, since didn’t get a reply and it’s already another day, not sure why they tell to specify that event is today so they can treat that email as a priority. First time I called I was on hold for 27 minutes, the guy on the phone was apologizing and saying he is going to make a request for my tickets again and I will receive them in an hour, if not he will make sure I’ll receive them before the game starts. At that point I already promised myself never go with anything but Ticketmaster, saving $20-$30 dollars on a ticket is not worth all the stress they put you through. Anyway 20 mins before the game, still no tickets, I’m calling them, on hold for 25 minutes, the game is already on, I’m staying at the venue fighting for the tickets that I paid money for on the phone, the guy tells me “I don’t know what happened”, I’ll get you replacement tickets, asks me to hold on, another 7 minutes of waiting to hear “sorry there are no tickets, we can refund you 120% of what you paid”. Are you joking me? I drove to another state to get to the game, they had no problem with charging me for those tickets, but they can make sure I’ll get them? This is absurd! 120% refund will never make anyone happy, when you ruined the whole day like this. Also that refund won’t cover all the expenses when you are coming from another state. Coming to the game you paid money for and not being able to attend it. I’ve honestly never been in a situation like this, such an ignorance, terrible customer service. Since yesterday I had no time to listen about how they will refund me 120% because I had to figure out the way to get to the game that was already over 10 mins in, I had to call them next day, was on hold for exactly 27 mins third time in a row which means the are not busy, it’s their system to make you wait 27 mins to get to talk to someone. Clearly they couldn’t do anything except to offer 120% refund, which of course will not make anyone happy after they ruined your day like that. Don’t recommend it to anyone! Avoid SeatGeek! The worst.

SEATGEEK sold me seats to a baseball game at 105$ each ticket. They told me my tickets were confirmed. A week before the game they told me my event was cancelled and offered a refund, but when I logged into thier website I saw the event wasn’t cancelled and my tickets that were confirmed had been relisted at 263$ each. When I contacted SEATGEEK about it I was told I could rebuy them at the new price but they would refund my first tickets. My tickets were sold to me, taken back and resold at a higher price. Don’t use seatgeek

I bought tickets to a Sting concert in Las Vegas for Jan 29th online. Immediately after I purchased I got notice that show was cancelled due to Covid. Those tickets should not have been sold if they already knew the show was rescheduled. Now I have to wait until it is rescheduled and travel back to LV to see. They should not be selling tickets to an already cancelled show. Tim

This company does not honor its written guarantee. Event was canceled last week of June and we received email stating full refund to be processed back to the card on file in 2-3 weeks. It is now Aug 27th and we are being told 30-45 more days for a refund of nearly $2,000. I have sent 5 emails and received the same boiler plate language every time to ‘be patient’. Don’t trust them, they will not honor their written guarantee and they will hold your money!

My event that was scheduled March 30th, 2020, was cancelled due to COVID 19. The website clearly states that in this case, you would receive a 100% refund. Its July 21, 2020, and no refund. I reached out to them repeatedly and I feel I’ve got nothing but the runaround. Especially in these uncertain times, you would think this company would conduct themselves differently.

My out of town event was cancelled due to the Corona virus. I wanted a refund for my cancelled event, instead I received a credit that expires in a year. I don’t live in a major sports market and I don’t believe I’ll be going to any events for the foreseeable future. Here is the timeline: 6/12 – I received an email that my event was cancelled. 6/22 – I opened a support case to get a refund instead of a credit. 6/25 – I received an email reply that stated that since I didn’t respond within 7 days that I could not get a refund. 6/25 – I called and spoke with a rep who repeated the 7 day limit on refunds. I asked about the reason for 7 days and she mentioned that’s what the seller wanted. She was going to check with her team and get back to me, the call ended. 6/25 – I called back and spoke with another rep and had a similar conversation. I asked why there was a 7 day limit, she said that a survey was sent to customers and that’s what the customers wanted. She was going to check with her team and call me back. 7/7 – I have not heard anything further.

I requested a refund due to Covid 19, plus I lost my job, and the event, Roger Waters, is not planed for another year or more and had been postoned, you people don’t realize that this is not a normal situation of circumstances and your normal policy is no refunds, all sales are final, you should do the right thing considering these unprecedented times and give refunds to people who request them. I am out $620.60 that I can not afford right now, and to hold on and wait for a concert that is going to maybe happen in a year and a half, when I am trying to pay my mortgage and bills with no income. MARK MY WORDS , I will never use your business again and I will tell everyone forever what you did to me during the Covid 19 outbreak, and I meet a lot of people in my business that I have owned for 30 years. P.S. I am posting this on every review site out there for as long as it takes! Michael O

I bought 3 tickets to the CMA country festival in 6/2020. The festival is canceled but SeatGeek says it is postponed. They say it is postponed to June 2021. They are playing word games. This is canceled and this festival will not be repeated. The June 2021 festival was already scheduled. Do not purchase tickets from this site.

I purchased 2 tickets for my wife and I to see Kenny Chesney on 4/18 in Arlington, Tx. Roughly three weeks ago, Kenny publicly stated he was cancelling all of his events for 2020. I have asked for a refund from Seatgeek, and they have repeatedly stated that his concert is merely postponed. That, for that reason, they don’t need to, or aren’t willing to refund. Its Coronavirus for heavens sake. People are dying in the streets, but Seatgeek wants to hold onto your money instead of doing the right thing, and automatically refunding. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH SEATGEEK.COM

Ticket prices are deceiving. Dissatisfied with the outcome of tickets received. Had to eat the lose and sit wherever in GA. They love their sellers, though.

SeatGeek is a good site to compare many different ticket companies. Tickets are legit, since I’ve used them twice now, but I wish tickets were cheaper though. Some of these events are way overpriced I think.

My experience with SeatGeek was good. I was able to get a fair price on 4 tickets on by the stage, which I wanted and ordered them just 3 days before the concert. Tickets were legit, as we had no issues getting into the venue.

I purchased tickets for $140 each to what was advertised as “Goo Goo Dolls in Concert”. After purchasing I received the tickets via email which is then where I discovered that it was a Christmas Concert being held by a radio station. When I looked into the website of the radio station I then found that tickets 3 rows CLOSER than my seats were listed as $33 with fees! I emailed seat geek explaining the situation and how they had falsely advertised the concert and have marked up the tickets outrageously and just received a generic email stating they do not do refunds.

I got my friends and I tickets to see Billie Elish concert-show, which was sold out from the venue box office. SeatGeek.com came through for us in providing us with what I could see was the best deal after comparing other sites.

I ordered two NYC ballet tickets from SeatGeek for $ 431.30, no information about the fee and the real price. I used website “New York City Ballet Tickets / SeatGeek “. Next day I had got two tickets for $ 109 each. I called to NYC ballet office and I found out the tickets was bought by some private person in the ticket office of the NYC ballet. I tried to cancel my order but Seat Geek refused to cancel it and refund me expenses. Don’t use that “broker ” if you don’t want to pay the double price for an event. They introduce yourself as the IT firm. Really it is a banal speculator using the logo NYC ballet.
