- Event cancelled, postponed or changedFor an event officially cancelled and not rescheduled, the Buyer Guarantee gives a full refund of the purchase price to the original payment method or, where state law allows, a credit, at SeatGeek's choice. Postponed, TBD or rescheduled events are not refunded unless state law requires it.
- Refund requestIf you can no longer attend, the optional Refundable Tickets add-on allows a refund, minus its service charge, when you cancel at least 48 hours before the event. Without it, resale on the SeatGeek Marketplace is the usual route.
- Billing errorSince May 12, 2025 the FTC fee rule (rule ftc-junk-fees-rule) requires ticket resale platforms to show the total price, including mandatory fees, up front.
- Unauthorized chargeIf no one in your household bought tickets, report the charge to SeatGeek support and to the card issuer, and secure the account.

Verification notes
Checked 2026-10-13. Every SeatGeek value in this file (all but the FTC fee-rule fact) comes from search-result snippets of seatgeek.com and support.seatgeek.com pages, because both sites blocked automated fetching (HTTP 403) and archive copies could not be loaded. Confirm the wording on the live pages before quoting it in a dispute. A snippet from the SeatGeek help center also says official SeatGeek emails always come from an address ending in @seatgeek.com. No SeatGeek phone number, complaint email or mailing address was confirmed.
