Such a life saver!!
Whether it’s last minute seats or just wanting to go to an event on a budget seatgeek has always came through!!! Pricing is phenomenal and they partner with affirm so you can pay the tickets off over time.Oct 21
Cool app
Really like getting raked over with fees and rigged tickets, but hey, what can you do? The app works great….Jul 4
Better than expected
As a long time user of Ticketmaster and LiveNation they end up having so many charging fees hidden and with the whole Ticketmaster fiasco I’ve been looking for a new place to get tickets and this one is amazing they include fees so I won’t have to be bothered with guessing how much more it’d beMay 12
Best Ticketing App
Every event i’ve ever been to, I know I can always trust this app for purchasing tickets. It’s so quick and easy and I can guarantee that if you’re wanting to go to whatever event, and you’re worried about today’s prices, they’ll always be cheaper and affordable tomorrow and sometimes even after just 12 hours (it also helps when my favorite creators have promo codes I can use or save for future purchases).Jul 9
great app
Ive enjoyed buying Real Salt Lake tickets here. Every once in a while I'll get email promo codes, which makes it impossible to pass on a good game dealNov 4
LOVING THE APP
I love how easy it is too find what you need, highly prefer this too any ticket buyers. Promo codes are really solid as well!Oct 31
Amazing app experience to look for tickets!
I always get overwhelmed on ticketing apps when exploring concerts coming soon, SeatGeek makes the experience super straightforward.Sep 27
Amazing
First time using an app to buy tickets! Found better rates than Ticketmaster… I won’t be using them again. Seat Geek is the way to go! Thank you so much for having a quick, easy and insightful app! You all Rock!!!!!May 21
Very Good!!
SeatGeek makes it so easy to buy tickets,and not only that but the fees are way lower than any other ticket place super great and reliable!!!!!Oct 8
Terrific
I like that you can do installment payments with affirm. Wish you can choose your seating like ticket master. I use both but this here helps with the larger bill to spread out and pay off overtime.
About NCAA March Madness First Four
The NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament First Four originated in 2011 as an extension of the traditional March Madness bracket. Held annually in Dayton, Ohio, the First Four features four play-in games involving eight teams: the four lowest-seeded automatic qualifiers and the four lowest-seeded at-large teams. This format increased the tournament field from 64 to 68 teams, allowing more teams a shot at competing on the national stage. The First Four games determine the final spots in the main 64-team bracket, adding a layer of excitement as teams battle to officially enter the tournament’s first round.
Over the years, the First Four has produced several memorable moments and notable underdog stories. In 2011, VCU (Virginia Commonwealth University) famously won its First Four game and went on an extraordinary run to the Final Four, inspiring the nickname “First Four to Final Four.” Similarly, in 2018, the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC), while not a First Four team, made history as the first 16-seed to defeat a 1-seed, proving the unpredictability that the First Four often foreshadows. Teams like UCLA in 2021 have also leveraged First Four wins as springboards to deeper tournament runs, showcasing the First Four as a platform for unexpected heroes and inspiring Cinderella stories.
