SeatGeek is a mobile based ticket platform through which users can receive tickets to major live sports events, theater and concerts among other events. SeatGeek tickets can either be received electronically or in print.

Receiving Your SeatGeek Tickets

Most tickets on SeatGeek are electronic tickets. The tickets are usually uploaded to your SeatGeek account within 2 days of the event.

On the other hand, you can receive your tickets through other delivery methods. When selecting a listing to purchase, you will see the delivery options in the 'Notes' section. Your ticket format will be indicated in the confirmatory email sent to you by SeatGeek when ordering your tickets.

SeatGeek electronic tickets (e-tickets) are usually in PDF form and are delivered directly from your account. However, it is paramount to note that some venues require tickets to be printed. On the contrary, some venues will allow entry through the SeatGeek app.

E-tickets have instant delivery which means they have no release delay. They are uploaded to your SeatGeek account within a few minutes of making the purchase.

Due to their secure nature, paperless tickets or mobile transfers are preferred in some venues. The mobile transfer tickets have a QR code that is uploaded to your SeatGeek account after purchase.

You should note that mobile transfer tickets cannot leave the platform through which they were crated and are unprintable.

Despite the ticket industry increasingly shunning hardcopy tickets, you can receive your hardstock tickets through several ways.

One of the ways to receive your hardcopy tickets is to have them shipped to you via FedEx or UPS. You will receive a tracking number from the courier through which you can track the delivery of the tickets in case of any mishap. Such tickets will be delivered at least three days prior to the event.

You can also receive your hardstock tickets at the Will Call window at the venue under the name used to order the tickets. You have to bring your Id to receive your tickets. If you want someone else to pick up the tickets you will have to call SeatGeek with the order number and make the change.

Moreover, you can call the tickets' seller before the event and organize a pickup time and location near the event's venue. This can also apply if you receive the tickets on the day of the event. You can contact the seller and organize a meeting time and place then have him/her walk you into the event.

You can also receive a prepaid gift card linked to your ticket that you can use to enter an event.

Lost Tickets

If you misplace your hardstock tickets, you should contact SeatGeek and they will ask the seller to reissue the tickets for you or resend them in an electronic format. However, you should know that not all ticket sellers offer this option. Therefore, the best SeatGeek can do is to verify if the option exists for your particular ticket.

If you lose your electronic tickets you should contact SeatGeek and ask them to access you account and then resend the tickets to you.

Contact SeatGeek

If you have any trouble receiving tickets from SeatGeek, you should contact them directly and apprise them off the situation. You can contact them in the following ways:
