I talked to about 8 different people because my tickets weren’t sent to my email and my event was this weekend. They all said they found my tickets but never sent them to my new email. After a being on the phone with someone for about 30 minutes I said I wanted a refund if I am not able to get my tickets. He then said that they can’t give me a refund to me because they can’t pull up my account after telling me they found my account and have my tickets. That was almost 200 dollars for the tickets

I had tickets to Andrea Bocelli. He cancelled. I am confused about the date for the rescheduled concert. There is absolutely no way to get in touch with customer service as far as I can tell. I called the numbers I found listed for their customer service and got recordings that the numbers were out of service. A ridiculous situation.

6 days before the AFC divisional game I bought tickets for I decided to log in to my account to review them. I bought the tickets through the team website the day they went on sale. I attempted to log in to SeatGeek with my stored password and got a message that the credentials were wrong. I attempted a second log in with their "one time" email sign in and used the code they emailed me but got a message that my account was either locked or cancelled. Had to Google how to contact them directly, as there are no obvious options on the SeatGeek website and the support page does not link. I started an online chat and was told it would take 20-30 minutes to reset my account.

In the meantime I requested a phone number. I called, spoke to an agent who told me it would take 1-2 hours to unlock my account. I asked for a supervisor. After holding 50 minutes, a supervisor picked up the call and then immediately dropped it. I called back, and the agent that answered the second call asked me for different verification credentials. He told me reset would take up to 48 hours. I asked for a supervisor and he refused to transfer me. He took my number and told me a supervisor would call. Supervisor has not called.

I am back on chat in the meantime. 45 minutes ago the agent on chat told me I was second in queue. 15 minutes ago she assured me she was working until 1 am eastern time and would email reset instructions prior to ending her shift. I told her I would like to remain on the chat. Now she is now writing that the department that needs to unlock my account is not available until tomorrow. I have spent $2500 on tickets and Seat Geek is refusing me access to them. If this were game day I would be completely screwed. Right now I am left eagerly needing to know that my tickets are secure, with thousands spent on the game. I have bought NFL tickets from Ticketmaster many many times without issue. SeatGeek is absolutely awful and I will never purchase from them again.

We bought tickets for basketball games that went through Seat Geek. They took our money just fine, but never received the tickets. Every time we tried to accept, transaction would never allow the tickets to go through on the app or website. Nobody in the company seemed to be able to help. On the phone and chats for over 2 hours with no resolution. I will avoid this company at all costs in the future. I suspect I am out close to $400 and now have to file claims for refunds. Awful experience.

My friend and I purchased tickets for Dave Chappelle through Seatgeek, while our other friends purchased them through Ticketmaster. Long story short, the tickets were never transferred, and we were unable to attend the show while our friends did. They have this thing which allows the transfer of the tickets only within 24 hours and when you are near the venue so we never worried about it. The original experience was extremely frustrating and embarrassing. I later tried to get a refund and this was another "uphill battle". After speaking with several different reps and sending them all kinds of screenshots (apparently they were suspicious, thinking I was trying to scam them) as of today, I have not received my refund, and counted as a loss. This company is super shady with horrible customer service. They send you very nice, professional emails about your issue, but with no indication of really helping you with the problem. I will never use this company again and have already deleted the app.

If you can avoid using SeatGeek, you should. I paid $5,000 for two seats more than a month ago to a bowl game. I don't even know my seat number today and the game is in 3 days. These are electronic tickets. They told me to list them for sale on another ticket site, so I did, I had to mark them down a bunch to get a sale. Now I have a sale, and I can't get my tickets. NIGHTMARE. They can be transferred in less than a minute. Now they are worth 1/10th what I paid. After several customer support emails I find out that they don't know anything either. They must have accepted someone's tickets for sale without validating they existed, OR SeatGeek themselves are buying tickets, marking them up, and trying to make money. Either way, avoid these thieves or you will lose money too..

Worthless and useless. No live chat or phone customer service. Resold tickets and wanted to look back to see what I would be paid. No luck. Website archaic. Such arrogance and lack of appreciation for customers. Ticketmaster will eventually take back all the venues this horrific company currently represents. HORRIBLE! DON'T USE THIS OUTLET FOR TICKETS.

I wish I could give below zero star. Because they absolutely lies about refunds that they promise on the website "refundable without any nonsense" is just mentioned to fascinate the customer to buy but if you really ask for refund for whatever reason, they are so much harsh and rude with you. When I got ticket, my ticket was even not confirmed with Ticket Master, so I asked for refund and they gave me so much headache and tried so roughly to not refund my money back, it's basically stealing. I tried even a supervisor by name of "Paul". I don't think he said his real name since he was the harshest. Finally there was another supervisor by name of Marvin that was somehow helpful and by too many discussions he agreed to refund. The good point is sometimes you may find a but cheap ticket but never think about refund and lies on their website.

Purchased tickets to an event for a specific row. Was told I wouldn't get the tickets until 24 hours before the show. Stated the reason "need to wait until 24 hours prior to the event due to the delayed release policies that the seller uses to keep your tickets safe, avoid the resale market, vastly decrease any chance for invalid double sales, and protect fans from less-than-savory situations." SeatGeek says this is to "protect" fans from less than savory situations when in fact they are the ones creating the situations. Sellers are selling tickets on SeatGeek they don't actually have. They have until 24 hours of the show to send the buyer the ticket. Sellers wait to find cheaper tickets and once they find them, they're transferred over to you who paid a premium. What a great service provided!

In my situation, I paid for a specific row that I needed. Turns out there was none available since the tickets I bought never existed. They just sent me a different row and said it's an "upgrade". The buyer guarantee states, "The tickets you receive will be the same as those you ordered" and they will work with you to resolve any issue by offering comparable tickets or a refund. They don't actually work with you. The resolution is up to them and they will give you tickets they determine to be an upgrade. I requested a refund and that was not possible. Don't recommend.
