Have you ever missed a show because of the change in plans? Well, here is a lasting solution to all your worries. SeatGeek is a platform for both mobile and desktop users that enables them to buy and sell tickets for live shows such as sports, concerts, and theater events. In addition to this, SeatGeek allows buyers to make complete purchases, view interactive color-coded seat maps, and receive electronic or print tickets.

It also allows reselling your ticket without much fuss. You only need to upload a PDF of your ticket onto your SeatGeek page, and the website will grab all your relevant ticket details. SeatGeek will then recommend the best market price for your ticket, depending on the demand for you to get the best return. SeatGeek will only take a 15% commission from the sale.

One advantage of SeatGeek is that you do not have to share your bank details to process any purchase; all payments are done through Venmo.

Valid Tickets

Due to market flooding, there are many brokers, and there is a high possibility of purchasing a fake or an invalid ticket. You can only differentiate valid ticket fron an invalid one by scanning the barcode at the entrance of the event. There are two reasons, as to why a ticket can be invalid

  • If the ticket was sold twice
  • You bought it from an unreliable source

SeatGeek main goal is to get you to the event you paid for. All you need to do is to trust them, and they will make sure you have a great time with fewer worries.

SeatGeaks portrays several advantages to the buyers; these include:

  • Order tracking: The homepage has a "track my order" button that is easy to find upfront.
  • Clean search interface: it gives you a chance to search by category, or by the free text search bar. The search interface also groups playoff tickets together, making it easy for the buyer to find the best seating positions.
  • Transparency: unlike most websites where they do not display ticket fees, SeatGeek has a dropdown button that helps you to choose the ticket prices before or after fees.
  • Search filters: Through the site, you can filter tickets by type, quantity, and price.
  • Best score: SeatGeek assigns a rating to each ticket, marking it with a number, color, and a scale of zero to 10. Best deals are marked with higher numbers, and in green color, moderate are marked orange, and avoidable deals are marked in red.
  • Email alerts: you can sign up for email alerts and notifications to find out when a ticket changes the price.

1. If in any case the seller cancels an event or does not fulfill an order in time, the buyer will receive a 100% refund or even better
