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 paid for two lower level tickets to the Seattle/Atlanta Monday night game and got nosebleed seats delivered one week before the game. My purchase was made in May and i never received any confirmation from the company on my purchase (although they got my $440). I emailed two weeks later about lack of confirmation and received a response that they had my order and that the tickets would be delivered prior to the game.

Fast forward to September (4 months later) and late in the month I emailed again about no confirmation order number (you need this to even talk with customer service, or you get hung up on by their convenient automated phone system). No response to my email.

I protested via Paypal with Zero satisfaction and after again emailing was given a response they had my email address wrong (weird as they did't the first time I got a response in May) and my tickets were now delivered via email.

The tickets they sent were the VERY LAST row of Century Link Stadium, under $100 value seats. I complained and received a simple email explaining this is what I ordered. Further emails back were ignored. I escalated my claim with Paypal and the end result was they agreed with Vivid.

So, i paid $440 in May for seats that were valued less than $200 total. On other ticket sites, I could have had better seats for $125 each the day of the event.

This company is crap and are taking advantage of good people who fall for their deceptive business practices. If there is a class action lawsuit, I am in!

I purchased theater tickets the day of the performance and never received them! I had to call customer service 4 separate times over the course of the 4 hours leading up to the play and was continually told that my tickets should arrive within the next 30 minutes - 1 hour. Finally, 1 hour before the start time I was told that I should have just received my tickets as it showed up as sent on the company's end. Well I never received anything! To make matters worse it has been 2 weeks and now the company is refusing to issue me a refund. Horrible horrible customer service and a downright scam. Do yourself a favor and steer clear.

I purchased tickets to the Packers vs. Panthers game over a month ago. I was told they would be delivered (by email) 2 days before the event. They weren't, so the day before the event, I called customer service in the early afternoon. After spending half an hour on hold I was told they were looking into the problem and I would receive a call at 3:00pm. No one ever called and I called them back at 4:30pm, I was told MY tickets had just been delivered to my email and that everything was settled. When I got my tickets finally, I saw that they were on the complete opposite side of the stadium from what I had ordered. Seeing as it was a football game, I chose my tickets based on what team's side I wanted to sit on. I will say that the tickets I received were 2 rows closer than the one's I purchased so to them, these were considered a "fair trade" and "comparable" so I had no option to get my money back. I would have rather re-purchased tickets from another, more reliable site, in seats that I actually PAID FOR. I understand the terms and conditions of the site, but NO ONE told me my tickets were being traded until I called and complained. This is just unprofessional and SHADY. I expected better service for how much money I spent. I should've known better I guess.

Fine print
December 12, 2017

Any canadians dont use this, they trick you into thinking your paying canadian dollars until you get your credit card and have to pay the difference. Also the extremely high price they charge for the service charge on every ticket is beyond redicilous. Such a rip off of a site.

We purchased Kenny G tickets three months in advance of concert. We were not informed status of tickets, ever, until I continually emailed them and they assured me the tickets would be delivered via email prior to the event. We had to drive over four hours to get to the event site and still did not have our tickets before we left on the trip. From the road, they told us the tickets would be available to print. That's true, but I received the email i hour prior to the event and had to pay the hotel a $15 service fee to print the tickets. BAD customer service.

Thanks VividSeats
December 10, 2017

We bought 4 tickets to the January 1st, 2018 Tournament of Roses Parade from Tyler J. He was very friendly and efficient. He offered me his direct number in case of issues or if I needed for future purchases. It was a great experience, at a very hectic time for VividSeats, to be sure. Thanks Tyler.

With the outstanding assistance of your agent, Mr. Terrence Harris, I got the purchase of these tickets with so much ease. I found Mr. Harris very patient and very accommodating answering all my questions that give me vital information on how to get my e-tickets once they are available. I am planning to contact him again when I have some important sporting events to watch in the future.

Super Customer Service!
December 10, 2017

Talked to Tyler and was able to secure two tickets for an almost sold out concert. Tyler was very courteous and informative. Hard to find Super Customer Service these days, but Tyler has it going on! Thanks so much. I'll spread the word about Vivid Seats, a great place to get great deals on the latest concerts and events. :D

Well, I wanted tickets for a concert in Hamilton and thought all the cheapest seats were gone. I can take some of the blame but vividseats weren't very honest and I got took for almost 3 times for what I should have gotten the tickets for. I should have just dealt with First Ontario directly. I don't recommend vividseats for your concerts tickets or any other venue. Its a rip off.

Buyer Beware
December 6, 2017

Do your research... paid 3x the venue price for tickets plus fees. The tickets were not yet available for sale to anyone. The seller could not have possibly confirmed or guaranteed the tickets. Run far, run fast

I called my order in over the phone and spoke to Iyahna, who was a pleasure to speak with. She made the transaction smooth and easy while being very warm and friendly. I'm excited to have my tickets but I was a little surprised at the out-the-door total compared to the listed ticket prices. Paid $151 per ticket for two tickets and my total came out to $384.
