1. Is SeatGeek part of StubHub or Ticketmaster?

No, it is an independent New York company and not part of the StubHub, viagogo or Ticketmaster groups.

2. Am I covered if I buy a resold ticket on SeatGeek?

A cancelled event that is not rescheduled is refunded or credited, but rescheduled and postponed events are generally not, so the cover is narrower than the guarantee's name suggests.

3. Why was the price higher than face value?

On open resale, the seller sets the price, and a fee is added at checkout, so the all-in total can exceed face value, and the headline figure is rarely what you pay.

4. Why can I not find resale for my football match?

SeatGeek's resale marketplace is built around US events, and unauthorised resale of designated English and Welsh football tickets is restricted by law, so domestic football resale is often thin or absent.

5. Is buying a resold football ticket through SeatGeek legal?

Buying is not an offence for you, but unauthorised football resale is a crime for the seller under the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994, and a club can void a ticket sold outside its authorised channel.

The best marketplace for live event tickets since 2006. Every order is 150% guaranteed. Prices may differ from face value.

Is SeatGeek Legit?

Yes, SeatGeek is a legitimate platform with transparent pricing and a buyer guarantee. The catch is third-party seller risk and a guarantee with limits.
