Vivid Seats | Buy Tickets Reviews

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 purchased tickets through vividseats for a Concert 7/4/20. On 5/9, I checked the status and realized it had been canceled on 4/30. I immediately sent an email requesting refund procedure aand was sent a reply that instructed me to check my junk mail for a 4/30 notification of the
Cancelation. That email would contain the refund instructions. Sure enough. In my junk mail I found this notification with a 7 day time frame to request a refund otherwise I would be issued a credit. My plea for leeway with this rule give its direction to my junk mail has also been denied. I am left with an 1100$ credit towards tickets that has an expiration date. So that money could be l lost altogether. It is very important to note that I have their app and regularly receive notifications from them. I also get email that goes directly to my inbox. Neither method of communication was used to notify me of the refund process. I obviously would have seen it and been able to respond if they had, which begs the question if their communication method was deliberately misguided. Criminal. So disappointing. Please do not give them business.

My friends and I planned on attending the Buku Music + Arts Project in 2020, but the event was soon cancelled due to covid-19. I purchased my tickets through Vivid Seats while my friends purchased theirs through the Buku website. My friends received a complete refund on their tickets leaving me as the only individual in the group stuck with no refund. For quite some time I have tried to call Vivid Seats about this issue and was never able to actually get to a representative as the automated menu system repeatedly glitched. Finally, after being on the automated menu page for a while today, I got a hold of a representative. He took all of my information and then found out I was calling about a return and he flat out hung up on me. The lack of communication and poor customer service is outrageous. I want the refund I deserve but since I bought my ticket through their site it looks like I will have to attend this festival alone. As I have told all of my friends and family- PLEASE listen to me and NEVER buy from vivid seats ever again. Hopefully their company will see this review and reconsider but i’m very doubtful of that. Very disappointed in this company.

I purchased 2 tickets for an NBA game with the insurance to ensure that I receive my money back, per their 100% Buyer Guarantee as they promise on their website should something happen and I am unable to attend. Well the March 21st game was cancelled due to COVID19 pandemic and these people have refused to return my $335 because they claim that NBA games are “postponed” and not canceled. Since the promotion company has have changed their status, I and I’m sure hundreds of others have been forbidden to be reimbursed our hard earned money. I see that there is a class action suit against them for this very reason! I plan on joining it because they have basically conned us from our money. They are saying that once the promotion company changes the status to cancelled, then I would be eligible for my reimbursement. Until then, I have to wait to see if the game will be rescheduled, which we all know probably won’t happen because of the pandemic. If the game happens and the public are not able to attend, will they still keep my money? At the rate of this company and the response so far, I’m certain they will. NEVER will I go through a 3rd party vendor for tickets again!

VividSeatsBuyTickets tells you one price and ends up charging you a whole other price moreee expensiveee I was supposed to pay 290 for my two tickets, they ended up charging me 80$ more than that and they’re excuse was that it was for the service fee and that’s a toooo muchhh !! And if u want to get a refund you should’ve bought a 22$ insurance before you paid just in case you weren’t able to go or you wanted a refund on your order ! Like really why do they charge 80$ for service feee they don’t even do anything! It goes thru VividSeatsBuyTickets not them they don’t need that like wow I’m just so shocked and disappointed that they would do this when you wanna buy some tickets be aware that you’re gonna have to pay a service fee that’s prolly gonna be half of what you would be paying for your ticket beware because it’s gonna be a lot and the fact that they don’t even tell you there’s a service fee in the beginning is just dumb they really should tell you that there’s a service fee that’s expensive and also that’s there’s a shipping feee for sending the tickets online 🤦🏻‍♂️it’s just really dumb. Really bad website horrible experience never buying on here again 0 stars negative starsss no one should get this ..

I purchased tickets for a comedy show and had something come up so I had to resell the tickets. So I went through VividSeatsBuyTickets and figured out how to sell tickets after about 15 minutes, entered in the information for the seats and thought I had listed everything needed. Vivid does not auto populate the information for you even though you purchased the ticket on their app. A few days later I get an email stating that my tickets have sold and I need to upload them. I called Vivid for assistance only to be told that my tickets were not able to be sold because they are mobile tickets. Vivid allowed me to list my tickets for sale only to tell me after they “sold” that I can’t sell those tickets. I listed the tickets for $100 less than what I purchased them for and Vivid is charging me an additional $144 as a penalty fee. So this is nearly $500 for two tickets for a comedy show. I am deleting VividSeatsBuyTickets and will never use it again. And definitely going to notify everyone I know that this place is a scam. I’ll admit there was probably fine print somewhere stating that mobile tickets can’t be resold but it’s definitely not easily found. For your sake don’t try to resell tickets with Vivid!

This is my personal opinion and experience. Granted, I understand that Covid has been difficult for everyone, businesses included, but it has been extraordinarily disappointing to see this company’s response to canceled events and pleas for help from its customer. I had concert tickets that were purchased for June. When Covid hit, the event was first canceled then rescheduled for two years later perspectively. Sadly, I won’t be available to attend the event in two years, nor will I even be living in the state where the venue is at that time. When I asked for a refund under their Covid guarantee, I was denied stating that the event had been rescheduled, not technically canceled. Further communications have been completely ignored. Thus, in a time where every cent counts, especially when I can’t work due to lockdown restrictions in my area, this company insists I either eat the cost of the tickets or try to sell them a year and a half from now when the event actually happens. Please, do yourself a favor and buy directly from the event’s venue if you can and avoid this unfeeling company. If I had done that in the first place instead of trusting vivid seats, I would’ve been able to get my refund. Shame on you VividSeats!

Bought tickets to an NFL game a couple weeks ago. Immediately after making an order, I received an email from vivid seats claiming there was a link to claim my tickets (no link was present in the email). I also received a ticket transfer from Ticketmaster with a broken link. I had a busy week and assumed I would receive my working tickets by gameday. Come Sunday morning, I had to contact customer service because I could not claim my tickets. Customer service chat was responsive at first, but then their solution was to have the seller resend the tickets, and my chat was disconnected with no resolution. My only choice was to buy tickets right before game time - I did this through vivid seats and the email came through with a working link, but now I’ve paid for two sets of tickets. I call on Monday to get this resolved, wait on hold for over an hour, get put on hold by their rep, then the call is disconnect and I did not receive a call back although they had my number on file. Customer service has sent me a couple “still working on this” emails over the past week, but I’ve received no answers from them. Was forced to dispute the charge with my credit card company instead

I bought(or so I thought)tickets for the Laker game. On the way to the game, I called to verify seats because I had received a confirmation email and my card was charged but I did not get ticket info. I was told hat the seller had not confirmed so the tickets were canceled but I would receive my refund in a few days! They found other seats and my card was charged again and AGAIN the tickets for some reason could not be finalized. 30 minutes until starting time, seats were low but they found better seats but I had to pay more of course. I told them it is the only money I had left to PLEASE only charge my card if they were sure we would get seats! When we arrived at the Staples Center we got an email that the seats were sold!!! NO one could give me answers at VS and now hundreds of dollars ithe hole, my daughter had to buy her own birthday tickets from the box office because VS had taken my entire paycheck. I couldn't even buy my daughter dinnner. We were stressed, missed opening of the game and the saddest thing is I never got an apology or remimbursement for the nightmare or fees I later inurred from my bank. I had to wait over a week for the hundreds of dollars that Vivid Seats stole from me. Use Geek Seats or any other hub but this scam!

HORRIBLE. HORRIBLE. Oh and did I mention, HORRIBLE. The company is a joke. The customer service deserves negative stars. I wouldn’t even give one star but I had to. I was surprising my husband with Eagles Vs. Cowboys tickets at Lincoln Financial field for his birthday and he’s never been there since we are Tennessee residents but are huge Eagles fans. So I get on this website and purchase 4 tickets for (what I thought) was Cowboys vs. Eagles tickets for November 11th. Well I actually bought tickets for the Eagles vs. NY Giants for OCTOBER 11th. Well literally not even 30 seconds after I had ordered these tickets, mind you they were $560( WHICH IS A LOT OF MONEY FOR ME ), I had realized this mistake and chatted them on their live chat right away and begged them to change the tickets or give me my money back. I BEGGED. But as anyone who does business with this site knows they do not do refunds or exchanges but by God they do have a spot where you can sell your tickets you don’t want! Isn’t that fantastic? (Please note my heavy sarcasm) So here I am in TENNESSEE trying to sell tickets for a game in NEW YORK. Wish me luck because this dumb site just cost me $560. Oh and if you have a problem don’t bother calling them you’ll just get the same rehearsed answer for your problem and be on hold for 15 + minutes. DO NOT USE THIS SITE. EVER. That is all.

Not the agent.. the agent did everything in her power. I’m talking about vivid seats policies especially for when sellers tickets just happen “to get switched to a new location”. I purchased tickets to an event 10 months in advance because I am a seat snob and I know I wanted particular seats. I got the seats and the hurry up and waited.. then I get the call 3 days before my event that my seats have been relocated.. and there is absolutely nothing they can do. They gave a 10% discount (big whoop) and the agent god bless her gave me a $50 store credit but there was nothing they could do... there were no more seats for single tickets left in my selection of seats that I wanted.. that I purchased 10 months in advance because the only ones available were for 2+ people. I ended up buying two seats because that’s how bad I wanted to go and wanted these particular seats... there really needs to be a policy in place that will not bump people’s seat locations at the last minute... I am very very very frustrated and after years of purchasing through vivid seats I will be taking my business elsewhere

by Dario 2011

VividSeatsBuyTickets is absolutely useless....It Doesn’t store your ticket it just shows that you paid for it?? Ok... Well the Venue doesn’t care about your transaction it just wants the Barcode so they can Scan the ticket... Well you can’t get it because you need to accept tickets through a barrage of emails that most get lost in your Spam Folder.... Then you call customer service and your calling a third world country where you can’t even understand what the hell they are saying... But they get mad at you and hang up on you because I couldn’t understand their broken English..... If I could give a Negative Star that’s what I would do... I will never buy tickets from them again ever or will I ever recommend someone to them....I arrived early just to sit and fight with customer service to locate this Parking pass that I paid to much for. I ended up missing half the game and had to pay out of pocket for a parking spot... I then call customer service to get a refund because the ticket was never used or Scanned... Bit the customer rep. Just laughed and said we give refunds even though you didn’t receive or use the ticket..???? Ok well then Vivid seats are a Fraudulent company ripping people off.... Oh and it took 45 minutes after getting transferred 3 times to get that answer!!!! ABSOLUTELY THE WORST!!!! DO NOT GIVE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY TO THESE CLOWNS!!!!!!!

I used Vivid Seats to purchase 10 Phillies tickets. Payment went through fine. I started getting all these emails that reference tickets had been “sent” but no actual email with tickets. I tried calling to speak with a rep and they don’t have anyone you can talk to, all automated and we know how wonderful that can be. I did a chat session and the first rep was ignorant, couldn’t walk me through how to get my tickets, and then told me the only way to get my money back would be to sell my tickets back! I ask “How do I sell tickets I don’t have???” He couldn’t answer me and continued to get more ignorant with me. After 45 minutes he disconnected my session and I was stuck. So I had to start ANOTHER chat session. This rep was helpful. Walked me through the many steps you have to go through to get your tickets and settled my issue in 25 minutes.

I needed to purchase 14 tickets for another game and decided to shop a few sites this time. Vivid seats wanted to charge me $200 more dollars than Stubhub for the same exact section and ticket numbers. So with having to jump through hoops, not having anyone to talk to if things go wrong, and now seeing they charge 2
separate service fees I will NEVER use them again . They charge $7.75 per ticket for a service charge but provide terrible service, then $2.50 per ticket for an “electronic fee” ummmm why???? It’s just a way to gouge prices.. pure greed!! Go somewhere else.

I purchased tickets well before the pandemic hit and was excited to head to a concert as a Christmas present to my girlfriend last December. The concert was suppose to be May 2020 but for obvious reasons it was postponed. Which is totally fine and makes sense but a few months later around September 2020 they sent an email saying the event had been canceled which also totally makes sense and gave everyone 7 days to get a full refund, so I called.. I spoke to customer service who told me to expect a refund within 7 business days. After 2 weeks I called back and told them I never received the refund and this is where they started to scam me and try to say I never called them within 7 days of that email and for those reasons I was out of luck and could have a credit towards future events.

But, How do I know this company will even exist after the pandemic?! They could go totally under with my “credit” and I’m screwed.

I reached out numerous times via email, phone and even to the executives LinkedIn accounts and also had to call my bank to open a dispute which so far has gone in my favor because before the pandemic when I purchased the tickets there was no “7 day” restrictions if the event was canceled everyone was due a full refund. VividSeats is a gigantic rip off and I would use extreme caution when ordering any type of event tickets through them. Especially during this pandemic.

If I could leave zero stars on this review I would. From the moment I purchased the tickets I had a problem. It started with purchasing 6 tickets and only receiving 2 of those 6. After being charged for tickets I never received, I contacted customer service to see if they could send me the tickets and if not, refund the charge for a product I never received. After waiting 45 minutes I was told by customer service they couldn’t refund my money, to “take the charge up with my bank.”
When we did go to use the 2 tickets we had, we arrived at the game only to find that the time posted on VividSeatsBuyTickets , on the mobile confirmation and the ticket was incorrect. We could no longer attend the correct time so I again contacted customer service to see about reselling the tickets to get my money back, based on their error for posting the wrong time, I was told the event was already in progress (it wasn’t since they had the wrong time) and they couldn’t resell/refund my tickets. When I asked about the incorrect information they said they would transfer me to the correct department to “look into this”, which never happened and I was disconnected twice.
Not only did I pay for a service and product I never received, but the customer service was no help in correcting their mistake or helping to get my money back. I will never use this company to purchase tickets again.

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!

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!!

As an avid concert ticket purchaser, with everything with COVID 19 going on... vivid seats was def not compliant with the situation. They gave us 7 days to respond well one I saw this email a little later into the 7 days , I call them immediately but nobody answered , I waited 3 hours for the chat online but nobody answered. Twice I did this and then decided to email them because this is ridiculous. And during this time I had a family member who was diagnosed with covid and in the hospital it was extremely upsetting. All they can tell me “ it’s past the 7 days”. Really? I am a loyal customer but from now on I will not be participating in their tickets. I will not be recommending VividSeatsBuyTickets to anyone moving forward. Actually , I’ve had a similar situation that happen with FGL tickets in homdel NJ as well last summer. They are awful with refund. I’ll go back to ticket master & live nation / stubhub. Thanks for not being understanding during this rough time, 7 days is truly not enough time especially being an essential worker and dealing with sick family members. They will only care when it hits home I swear. We are all in need of our money the proper way. Extremely disappointed . Never again .

by Lyndabythebay

I would first like to say that I was extremely nervous after reading some of the reviews that I would not get the tickets as promised and that my concert experience would be disappointing because my seats were not as promised! I worried for nothing and shame on those people that wrote those negative comments… I can only think that maybe they are competitors and trying to tear people away from purchasing their tickets on Vivid Seats.
Vivid Seat is an extremely exceptional app. I arrived at the concert with my printed receipts as well as my app ready to go with just my thumbprint. It was easy Peezy! The seats were perfect and I can’t wait to go to the Rolling Stones that I also purchased on Vivid Seats. If you have any doubts let me assure you that Vivid Seat is the right app to use for any concert! Thank you so much Vivid Seat. And no, I was not paid for this review, it’s all true.

A few days ago I reported that VividSeatsBuyTickets kept crashing. I deleted VividSeatsBuyTickets , paused a couple of days and reloaded. I did notice the user experience was a little different than before. Whether the issue was on my end or a true bug, I just wanted to thank you for acknowledging my challenge as an end user and reporting the feedback that I gave to the team. That, in itself, is a really big deal when it comes to customer service and the end user experience. Being a Developer or an Engineer can often be a “thankless” job so I just want to take some time to let the team know that there ARE folks out here that see you and we really do appreciate all the countless hours you put in to make VividSeatsBuyTickets world go around. I am happy to report that my user experience has improved and VividSeatsBuyTickets is now working as expected. I can see my tickets! Rock On Vivid Seats Dev Team and all teams involved 🤘🏼🤘🏼.

This is the first time I have used VividSeatsBuyTickets and NEVER AGAIN. I purchased two tickets to a Michael Buble concert for my wife and I. Tickets were advertised as Row A, and once tickets arrived they were marked ADA Section!! After calling the customer service I was informed that this was clearly stated in the fine print. Which it absolutely was NOT!!! Tickets were advertised as Section 107, Row A. After a couple phone calls I was told, there is nothing that can be done; no refund, or can’t even exchange seats for us...we are now out over 300 dollars...I am absolutely discussed at a company like this. We do not have money, as we are graduate students and this was going to be special outing as he is our favorite artist...Do yourself a favor and use literally ANY OTHER Company!!! VividSeats is nothing but a bunch of crooks who are only in it for the money... if you need anything they will gladly take your money and do nothing to make it right. Seriously; please use any other ticketing app...not worth the risk, and we paid the price...If this could be a negative star review it absolutely would be!!!

I bought $475 tickets to a concert in May. I was “guaranteed” the tickets I bought in section 105 directly in front of the stage. Vivid Seats makes a point to offer 100% buyer guaranteed tickets, however lists in fine print that your guaranteed seat can be anything “comparable”. I received my tickets the day of the event, 4 months after buying them, in section 118 directly BEHIND the stage. I contacted customer service immediately and was told the seats were equivalent and I should’ve read the fine print. The representative essentially admitted that the tickets were much worse than the ones I paid for (the ones that were “guaranteed”), but that they couldn’t be held liable for it and would not do anything to mediate their part in the deceit. I never would have paid that amount of money for poor seats. This was a birthday gift for my boyfriend and I spent the first hour of the concert being so upset that I couldn’t even enjoy it. Their competitors had comparable tickets listed that I could have easily gone with instead. I will never use Vivid Seats again.

Bought tickets to the SEC basketball Tournament and after I ordered them I received an email saying that I would have to meet someone at a hotel across from the arena' which is fine, but then it said they were gonna give me a pre paid credit card with the tickets loaded on it and that the stadium would know how to handle it. When I called the customer service helpline it kept ringing until I finally got a message that said they were closed for the evening. When I emailed them I didn't get a response until 10 minutes before I had to pick up the tickets, by this time I had already bought tickets from stubhub, and they kept telling me that I was crazy for thinking that getting tickets on a pre paid credit card would be a problem. Just for fun I asked the people at the arena if they had heard of this method and the said they had not. Needless to say this company doesn't care if you have an issue and they are extremely shady. They might have some successful tickets sold but they still don't have a good vetting process.

Bought instant download tickets that did not specify “standing room” in the description (for an event that had both seating and standing room). When I got the tickets, they had that disclosure on the actual tickets (but again, it wasn’t stated on the purchase description or confirmation prior to purchase). Vividseats policy for sellers states it must be disclosed. Vividseats 100% Buyer Guarantee policy states if the tickets were not accuractly described buyers are entitled to money back. Vividseats refused to honor policy and refused to refund. And, when I attempted to resell, they removed the listing because, even though I purchased the instant download through them, I could not sell it as instant download because I’m not a “large seller.” I could only sell as an email pdf, but they remove those listings same day. I was able to take the same tickets and list on Stubhub as instant download same day. Don’t trust Vividseats! Use Stubhub instead-they actually are super helpful and ethical. Buyers beware of Vividseats-they refuse to follow their own Buyer Guarantee. They should call it Vividseats Buyer SOL and screwed policy.

We had ordered tickets two months before the show. I kept checking to make sure everything was working and that I could access my tickets. The day finally came we got in line and VividSeatsBuyTickets wouldn’t open, got to the door and was told to go to “will call” to see if they could get our tickets we went back down got into another line just to be told they have no way to track tickets with vivid seats only ticket master, that if we couldn’t get it to work then we couldn’t get into the show. My husband tried loading VividSeatsBuyTickets on his phone with no luck we had to leave the venue until we could find a place with strong enough WiFi to open it. I screenshot the tickets and then went back now late! I normally have no issues with my phones signal I don’t know if it was because so many people trying to get their tickets but I became very upset. My husband was ready to leave I would much rather have the option to print my tickets then to just rely on an app!! I will not buy through vivid seats again.

Currently it is 7 hours before my event and I have absolutely NO hope. I was impressed at first because when I purchased my ticket (ps I should mention that I got the insurance as well), they said that someone else had already purchased that ticket and so they had called and upgraded my seat. I kept waiting for my ticket to arrive. My tickets never arrived from the seller and VividSeatsBuyTickets said they delivered my tickets. I called them about it and customer service just kept acting like I was the stupidest person they have ever spoken to. They said things like “did you check your email? Try typing in tickets in your search.” And when I mention that I did all of that, they were like “are you sure you can’t see it?”

Now I’m 7 hours before my event and I still don’t have a ticket to the event. I have called customer service 5 times now. They have not promised me anything - such as a ticket or my money back. They say they are calling the seller but through a different company?! I dont know why this is happening but it’s a horrible thing to do a few hours before my concert.

To add to this, every time I called them (the day of and day before) I sat on the phone for 40 or so minutes before someone answered. Their machine said that they prioritize their calls by concerts within 48 hours. If their lines are that busy, it makes me think that their slogan of “100% buyer guarantee” is somewhat wrong.

I will be updating this review after the concert time.

Vivid Seats as a whole are very difficult and frustrating to work with. Their customer service is a joke and they never get back to you, after it takes forever to even find an email or phone number to contact them at because they are very adamant about just using their FAQ page. I have tried contacting them numerous times about a concert I purchased tickets to that was postponed. After the venue promised full refunds for the inconvenience, VS refuses to comply and says I must sell the tickets, which I can only do through their site. After figuring out how to list my tickets, I find out I am losing money because they charge a sellers fee. None of my emails have been returned and they refuse to work with me or even help me out. Not to mention I can’t even go to the concert on the rescheduled date because it’s the same exact day as another concert which I purchased the tickets for THROUGH THEIR APP. I have left detailed emails and messages about this with nothing in return. DO NOT GO THROUGH THIS COMPANY! ALL THEY WANT IS YOUR MONEY AND ARE NO HELP AT ALL!

I have used VividSeatsBuyTickets to buy tickets multiple times, and every time I end up having to enter my credit card details multiple times due to no known “cart” function. If I choose tickets, enter all my information and leave VividSeatsBuyTickets for any reason (even within the time limit) VividSeatsBuyTickets will release everything and you start from scratch (cc info not save as requested, tickets held are no longer held). Additionally the credit card partnership with capital one (cash back) is never allowed to go through due to “billing address” error but when I enter the same details on my Amex it works. Both have the exact same billing address confirmed. Seems a tiny bit shady but could be a glitch as well.

Needs to be able to save information even if you leave VividSeatsBuyTickets for a moment, as well as show potential total without having to enter payment information. $25 per ticket service fees should mean VividSeatsBuyTickets works correctly and full disclosure is always needed.

Vivid seats and stub hub are without a doubt the best places to buy tickets. Just bought 5 tickets for the Cal football game against Oregon. The website is great, give you the best deals available and you can sort ticket availability by price, best tickets available and best value. The customer service is also fantastic. Very similar to stubhub just found the prices in this instance a little better. The were significantly better than ticket master, the stadium box, seatgeet, and Barry’s tickets. There website and customer service is also much better than those sites. They also seem to have more tickets available for the event. Very happy with Vivid seats and give it a slight edge to stubhub although they are very good and a huge advantage over ever other ticket site.
