Contact Vivid Seats Buy Tickets Support

by Nert24

I sold four pga championship golf tickets on vivid seats. My original purchase of the tickets was later cancelled due to it being limited capacity. I still wanted to fulfill the sell order and was still able to do so by buying new tickets. I spoke with customer service through their chat function and made it clear I did not want to cancel the sell order. They confirmed that I could do this if I wanted to since they were just general admission tickets.

When I was about to buy new tickets, vivid seats called me and said they had cancelled my sell order. I was set to profit $851 off the sale of those four tickets, so I wasn’t happy about it. The guy on the phone said he couldn’t do anything about it and if I wanted to complain to management, I would need to send an email. I emailed management asking them to reinitiate the sale. I received no response for several days.

I then reached back out to vivid seats through their chat function to try to get them to resolve the issue. They tried telling me that I didn’t contact them and tell them I didn’t want to cancel the sale and therefore they couldn’t do anything about it. I then informed them that I had screenshots showing that I had talked to them multiple times about it and they had given me permission to still sell them. They then, went back to management to discuss again, before giving another excuse on why they couldn’t do anything about it. They made no attempt to rectify the situation.

I’ve never had issues buying tickets through any third party ticketing app and I certainly didn’t expect any issues from a company such as VividSeats. I had ordered tickets last year (2020) for a showing of Wicked which was postponed until fall 2021. After seeing the new dates for the show I emailed and called vivid seats multiple times to get any kind of idea about when my new rescheduled tickets would arrive. Well days turned into weeks which turned into months and pretty soon there was only 2 weeks left of showtimes for wicked. I had continually reached out and the only response I received was that “we’re closely monitoring the situation and we’ll update you when the venue has confirmed any new dates.” I’m writing this review the day after the final showtime for my city has passed. So now I’ve spent money for a show I never got to watch and a constant headache as I try to navigate the customer support hurdles to talk to someone. They advertise a “100% money back guarantee” but I’ve seen no mention of it from them as I try to get my refund for these tickets. I also purchased the insurance for the tickets but apparently means nothing in this situation.

I will never buy from vivid seats again and I strongly advise anyone who is considering buying from them to reconsider and buy elsewhere. Customer support is non existent and they will hang up on you if you keep persisting for a refund. Stay away!!

Bought tickets to an event 3 hours away and a week away. Never could accept the transfer due to some error. Contacted customer service all week trying to get it solved. Eventually, I told them how far away the event was and they said to try to contact them the day of the event before I started driving. The night before I got an email stating the tickets had been withdrawn. I got tickets through SeatGeek myself for the event as I had seen other reviews with this happening to people through Vivid Seats. I went to the event perfectly with SeatGeek. I got home and saw where they sent the tickets to me again 17 minutes before the event started. This feels like a scam to me as I never even got to try to accept them and not even sure they would have gone through. But, since they show they were transferred again-they did their part according to them. If you actually want a worry free time and not trying to wait at the event gate 3 hours away minutes before it starts praying for a possibility you get tickets if they actually come through without errors-go through a company that cares or at least one that will get you tickets at a time you could use them - SeatGeek was awesome! I will never use Vivid Seats again. I ended up spending twice as much as I should have for the same event due to their careless customer service. Hours on the phone and chat with no results. Surprised there is not a class action yet!
