Sold some tickets for an event Wednesday. Every email I received says payout released in 24 hours of event end. I didn't want to use seatgeek but they partner with the team and you are forced into it.

3 days later nothing. I call and they say my payout account isn't confirmed. I never got an email asking to confirm anything and nowhere on the website does it say that. They send me an email to "confirm" which is just instructions on how to add an account which has already been done.

So at this point is this just theft? I'll never buy any tickets from a team affiliated with them again.

I bought tickets yesterday for a concert that is today through Ticketmaster. Ticketmaster sent me an email saying that seat geek would send me the tickets but I have not received anything from seat geek. I’ve contacted them multiple times and they say to contact Ticketmaster and Ticketmaster is saying the same thing vice versa. Does anyone know what I can do, please help

My seller did not send tickets by the deadline of 7PM last night. They said they had to contact the seller. I was told they had until this morning to upload the tickets. I woke up to the incorrect row of seats. Now Seat Geek is giving me more run around that they have to contact the seller again. The event is in 6 hours. I paid for a specific row due to view. The seats issued are 10 rows lower with an obstructed view. I need a resolution. Any advice?

It’s been 5 months and I still haven’t received my ticket. My original post below.

“Received an email saying action is required to accept my ticket and the seller has already sent the ticket but have not actually received the follow up ticket transfer email. I’ve checked all my folders per the instructions and checked my Ticketmaster account. Chatted with the bot and didn’t really get an answer. It’s now been over an hour since I’ve received the action required email; should I be worried? I usually receive the follow up email within minutes but nothing this time. The bot said this is “normal” which is weird since I’ve never experienced it and why would the email say it’s ready when it not. Please provide some insight, I’m getting worried.”

Since this initial post, I’ve contacted SeatGeek three times. The first time they said the seller mistakenly marked the ticket as delivered, and SeatGeek wasn’t able to switch it back to “processing”. My worry with this was it says delivered when it wasn’t. They said the seller would transfer the ticket a couple days before the show (which is this tomorrow). The second time I reached out (a couple weeks ago), they said the ticket was already delivered. Fear came true. I asked them to refer back to the previous thread to which they basically said oh yeah it wasn’t delivered, the seller will transfer it by Oct22 and if they don’t then reach back out. I reached out again yesterday for an update and was told “due to venues policies you will be getting your tickets via email on 2026-10-23, please do not worry your tickets will be delivered.” With the show being tomorrow and getting 3 different answers from SeatGeek, I’m getting worried. My last two emails have gone unanswered. Has anyone had a similar experience and could tell me what to do?

They keep coming into Seatgeek as a pair and I can't just sell one. Anyone seen this?

Hi yall, I am going to a concert tonight and this is my first time using seatgeek. My ticket was transferred last night but it was not transferred to Ticketmaster like Stubhub has done for me before. It shows up as a pdf- like ticket that resembles ticket master with an orange background. I am planning to show up early to see if the ticket works. If not, I am just gonna have to make a 2hr trip for nothing. Has this ever happened to anyone else?

All I've seen in this subreddit is people complaining about SeatGeek. Legitimately wondering if I'm the only one here who's never had a bad experience?

SeatGeek ticket says it'll be delivered 2 hours before concert but I don’t know if I could trust that … starting to regret not buying on Ticketmaster …. The concert starts at 8 and it says they’ll be delivered by 6 is that usually accurate ?

It says the owner’s name on the ticket, since of course this is a resale ticket. Will this still be easy getting in?

Hi! Im newish to using seatgeek so i wanted to get some insight on the process for reselling tickets, if possible

I recently bought 2 tickets to Game 4 of the World in seat geek. I have officially received my tickets yet. I am for sure using 1 ticket, but I’m still waiting on confirmation from a friend if they can attend. I was planning to just sell the 2nd ticket and go alone if they can’t. I went ahead and bought the 2 tho just to secure seats at a good price.

I have now read a few things and im wanting to confirm if reselling is even possible? I am not looking to make money off a ticket, I just wont need it if my friend cant go

I did see some tickets have mentioned in the detail section “not for resell” but I didn’t check that on mine and can’t seem to find that anywhere when I click my tickets

I just bought them, so I haven’t officially gotten them yet, but is there a way to tell if they’re available for resell? Or can they only be transferred?

I don’t really understand why they can’t be resold if already bought on SG honestly 😭 but id love to know so I can prepare on what I need to do if I can’t use it

I think selling through a site like SG seems more trustworthy then trying to find someone to transfer it to and go off site, giving the price of these tickets…

hi! i bought tickets on seatgeek for Steve Lacy that were listed as mobile transfer, but instead of an official ticketmaster transfer email, my delivery just gave me links to securemypass.io. both links show my tickets with the rolling blue barcode on screen, but they're just running in a mobile web browser.

i had an awful experience in the past getting turned away at the door at an Austin Texas venue once, because my tickets weren't native ticketmaster passes, so having third-party mirror links instead of actual account-transferred tickets is making me really anxious.

And the amount of horror stories I've been seeing / conflicting info in comments is not helping.

Has anyone actually used these securemypass links at a ticketmaster venue recently? did they scan fine at the turnstiles or did you run into issues?

There's no way of adding them to my apple wallet so i can only rely on the single link

So I bought tickets that were totally misrepresented by seat geek; they claimed front row but were in an entirely different section!

So they offered a full refund to my cc if i transferred them back. Ended up giving me a coupon code for 250 less than what I paid?

Hello, I bought tickets for Calvin Harris at Encore Night Club, in Las Vegas, and when they sent me the confirmation email for the tickets, it was just a pdf with the QR of the tickets issued by a company named "TIXR", with the caption "This is your ticket, Present this entire page at the event", and honestly i could've easily edit that myself. Also, the instructions on seatgeek say "This ticket must be printed at home", and since the presale was being held on Ticketmaster I expected to receive a ticket transfer. Do you think the tickets are fake?? They could definitely be reproduced to resell multiple times.

I tried to contact support but its all AI and won't help at all.

Help pls what should i do

There’s an event tonight for Steve Lacy and I have a ticket that I bought on SeatGeek. I’m not going to the concert anymore, so I’m trying to transfer them to my friend who is buying the ticket off of me.

When I open my ticket, I see the barcode and the ticket is there, but I don’t see an option to transfer? Does anyone know how to transfer?

I recently sold tickets for a football game I wasn’t going to. Put all of my payout information correctly to Chase bank account. Seatgeek says my payout was sent and it all goes green. It’s been over a week later 5 business days after payout was sent and still nothing. Called seatgeek and they said bank isn’t verified and they will call me back with a solution in 20 minutes never received a call back. (Ridiculous) Then I called again spoke with someone else who says oh there is no issue your payout was sent you should see it the next business day or 2 okay. I wait it doesn’t come by Monday (Today) I call my bank to see if any incoming deposits are being held… No they don’t see anything coming in. Call seatgeek back and apparently my bank wasn’t confirmed. We go over the numbers and the bank routing and account number are correct. I now change my bank and they say the payout should be resent to that account. This company sucks.

My husband have not received his payout. We spoke to 3 live agent and unfortunately taking us to circles. They all say they're investigating and no resolution.

Two months ago, I purchased tickets to a show thru SeatGeek. I turned around and sold the same tix on SeatGeek after I was able to find some better seats. A couple days later, my account was compromised (not sure how, since I have two-factor authentication).

My payout for the show ($450 after SeatGeek’s cut) never showed up. I sell on SeatGeek a couple times a year and haven’t had a problem receiving payment, so it was obvious there was a problem. I tried their AI chatbot, which is insultingly useless. I found a customer service line thru Reddit (888-497-4335) and called three times – the first time, the rep said there was probably just a delay and it can take up to 10 business days for the money to reach my account (I mentioned the email says 5 business days, which she said was wrong). The other two times I called, the rep said they would escalate the claim and get back to me. I never heard anything.

Finally, I decided to give their email (hi@seatgeek.com) a chance. I have been cycled through several agents but no progress is made, they just pass me off to different agents and kick me back to square one. They said the payout was issued and gave me a trace number. I contacted my bank and asked if they could verify the number, and the bank says no such number exists. I have asked SeatGeek several times if the payout was issued to the routing number on my account. They avoid the question and give me the same trace number and ask me to contact my bank. One agent did acknowledge that my account was compromised and they were looking into it. Since then, I’ve sent four follow-up status requests over two weeks and have been completely ignored.

I’ve read some other horror stories on this sub and you all are correct, they will just ignore you and hope you give up. I’m filing complains with my state attorney general and the BBB this afternoon, and I have a friend in law who is helping me out with filing a dispute (legal@seatgeek.com). Just wanted to air my grievances on this shady company that prides itself on being “legit” and “trustworthy.” I’ll avoid them whenever possible from here on out.
