"I bought tickets in December for a March event. The day before the event Vivid emailed me to call urgently. They said the seller had sold my seats and they wanted to “upgrade” me to floor. I was given the impression that I had to accept or the tickers would just be canceled. I went from lower balcony row 2 to floor second section from the stage row O.
I am so unsatisfied with their service or company."
"I would never recommend Vividseats to anyone!! They sell tickets to scam events, they don’t even vet the tickets they are selling. Thank god I paid extra for the Insurance otherwise I would’ve been out $127. I’m still out a plane ticket, hotel room and rental car though. I had a whole trip booked around this event and they’ve cost me now approx $1200 for nothing. Do not EVER buy tickets from Vividseats, you can’t even reach them by phone you have to chat with them only."
"I bought tickets to a football game from Vivid Seats because of their buyer guarantee. Then I found out they did not sell me seats or admission tickets, but rather passes to a hospitality club for $300! I called immediately to ask for a refund and they refused to do anything for me! I Vivid Seats sold tickets and seats. I didn’t realize they were also peddling add-ons like club passes! I feel completely scammed! I have useless passes and no tickets and these were supposed to be for my son’s 21st birthday so I also have no money to buy him a birthday present!"
Vivid Seats Hides Delivery Date Until After Purchase
"I ordered tickets for an event in New York. I live in Texas. Vivid Seats waited until AFTER I made the purchase to disclose the fact that the seller was planning on overnighting the tickets to me right before the event. This means I wouldn't get the tickets until maybe the day before (when I am flying to New York) or possibly even the day of the event. That is obviously unworkable, but then you get the "no refunds ever" line from Vivid Seats.
There is LITERALLY NO EXCUSE for hiding the delivery date until after a purchase is made. I will never buy from Vivid Seats ever again."

"This company is the absolute WORST!!!! I spent over $1k for tickets to an event & then had to resell them because the person I was going with cancelled. I now have to wait 4 months to get my money back from Vivid Seats & I have to wait 4 months for the actual tickets to come to me so that I can transfer them to the buyer. Oh, and the tickets are expected to come to me the day before the event. So now I have a VERY small window to remember 4 months from now to send tickets over to someone the day before a show.
Absolute garbage company & they should be shut down. If you are going to run a business like this, then you should be able to take on the responsibility of refunding people their money & also handling the transfer of tickets. You better believe I will be posting this review on every possible outlet to let people know how horrible VividSeats is."
Hey, Grant! We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. Tickets are sometimes not available until closer to the event, but once the ticket transfer has been sent, you will be able to access them and send them to the buyer. The date we provided was an estimate, as they may come sooner. If you have questions about the order or the selling process, you can contact us. We are here to help!

"Ordered tickets 3 days before event. Still no tickets. I'm **** because with ticketmaster I've could've received tickets instantly. Noone wants their tickets hours before your event. I will never use this site ever again."
Hello JaCory! We appreciate your review and feedback. We want to clear up any confusion, as we are a secondary marketplace and do not hold active stock of tickets. The estimated in-hand date is just the date we expect the seller to send your tickets by; it may be sooner than listed. We are always he re to keep you updated on ticket delivery, and every order is backed by our Buyer Guarantee!
"Ordered tix for Celtics game. The seller hasn’t released them. We have called 4 times. They always say same thing that they will contact seller to release them again. No supervisor to help either . Just awful customer service"
We understand being eager to receive your tickets, Paul. Our sellers transfer tickets as soon as they receive their inventory, so if you haven't received them yet, it's only because the seller doesn't have anything to send yet. However, we guarantee that you'll receive your tickets in time for the game, because we know how important live events are to our fans.
"I purchased ticket for row 8 tickets for row 23 and my friend purchased 1 ticket for the same row. When they emailed me my ticket the said row 22 so I called and they said the reason the row changed from what they told me because the seller upgraded my seats . So now my friend that purchased the single ticket is left sitting along in row 23 because vivid moved my seats without permission and they won’t do anything about it. I will be turning them over to the BBB. People please beware of this site."
Hey there! We understand that having your row changed may be inconvenient, and we would like to shed some light on our policies. Due to the nature of ticket marketplaces, inventory can quickly become unavailable. It is a part of our guarantee that you will receive identical, comparable, or upgraded tickets. In the event that the original tickets you purchased are no longer available, the seller has the option to provide comparable or upgraded tickets. We regret to hear that this caused you to no longer be in the same row as your friend; however, we are unable to guarantee that you will be seated with someone unless the tickets are purchased within the same order. We hope that this helps clarify how our platform works and that we are able to provide you with a better experience in the future with the information we have provided. Thank you for the feedback!
