Never use vivid
I purchased 2 tickets from Vivid Seats.com for concerts, I was over charged by 40% for no reason. I checked the seats price after I already bought the tickets at Ticket master; they were cheaper by 40 %( for the same seats). Also the concert was canceled, they never notified me. When I called them, they replay was sorry no refund. After more research I found out that if I would have bought the tickets though Tickets Master they would have refunded the ticks.My advice to you to NEVER USE VIVID.
They sell your tickets but don't pay you
Vivid Seats Ltd sold a pair of tickets for me, the buyer is: J. M.C.
the tickets are for a concert with Toby Keith on August 6, 2010 at Shoreline Amphitheater in California. The price was $160.00, less the commission of 10% I am owed $144.00. There website say's, "Once the buyer has received the tickets you will be paid within 7 business days via PayPal." The tickets were sold the week of June 6, 2010. After several phone calls to Vivid Seats Ltd inquiring about where is my money, they finally claim that the money was issued to PayPal using my email address ([protected]@cs.com)and PayPal is holding the funds until I claim it rather than Vivid issuing me a check directly. I have never dealt with PayPal before so I called them today and spoke with John, who said since I do not have an account with PayPal it would not be good business practice for anyone to issue money to PayPal for an account that does not exist. John checked the records using my email address and agreed that I have never used or have an account with PayPal and that there is no way of him checking Vivid's account since I am a third party. Vivid's website says checks will be issued to sellers by PayPal. I want my money, Vivid has refused to issue me a check saying it was issued to PayPal and they will send me a check. PayPay suggested calling the Better BusinessBureau which I have done. WHAT TO DO - next time use www.STUBHUB.com they pay the sellers in a reasonable amount of time.
NEVER AGAIN! I Don't recommend this site to anyone! They won't refund or let me sell my tickets and we have a good reason! RUN AWAY FAST! I REPEAT Don't buy tickets here! They don't care about customers.
Vivid Seats is a scam! Do not order from them. I ordered Red Hot Chili Peppers tickets at 10AM when they went on sale. They charged me $700 for the same exact tickets as Ticketmaster had for $503. Will not ever buy tickets on that App again. Buyer beware!

Sitting in Germany, spent 5k on tickets, 5k on airplane tickets, and 5k on hotel rooms. Although promised, Vivid did not send tickets and they are closed with nobody supporting customers on the weekend
I bought a ticket on vivid seat 2 months before the Laufey on oct 18, they sent a link. On the venue it does show I have a ticket no matter keep asking scan again spend 20mins arguing and contacts them on chat keep routing me where looking and investing for 1 hr chat. This site is really scam me with 3 tickets.
I sold tickets through Vivid Seats and they went out same day. They took 9 days to be delivered to a town two hours away. It's been 15 days over all and I have not received my money. Their customer service and business practices are unacceptable.
Purchased 4 tickets for a Bob Seger Concert to be held on 11/15/17 in MN. Concert date was cancelled and no new date has been established. Vivid Seats will not refund my money. Even though there was not concert - and I paid for the concert, they still will not give my money back. Order can be found under [protected]
323 dollars charged for 29 dollar tickets... This is overcharging. Included are copies of the tickets, and the charges from my debit card. The fees could not have amounted to 323 dollars, on 29 dollar tickets please help
Save yourself! Dont purchase tickets here.29 dollar tickets end up costing 300...true story...
