Is SeatPick legit? The rundown

What is SeatPick?

SeatPick is effectively Skyscanner but for major events, including football matches and concerts. The website enables users to compare ticket prices for the world's biggest events across various third-party vendors.

By aggregating ticket options, the platform saves fans time and frustration while allowing them to sort results by price, seat location and availability.

SeatPick partners with over 50 reputable ticket-selling platforms, including Viagogo, LiveFootballTickets, and StubHub, ensuring access to a wide range of event options for a simple and efficient purchasing experience.

How to use SeatPick

SeatPick is simple to use thanks to the slick and easy-to-understand navigation.

For example, if you are looking for World Cup final tickets, you can select the match from the featured top competitions at the top of the SeatPick website or use the search bar.

At a glance, you will see the listed competitions and their corresponding average ticket price.

Here is a quick, simple guide on how to use SeatPick:

1. Visit the official SeatPick website, then select a competition such as the UEFA Champions League, Premier League or Serie A, for which you want to book tickets.
2. Next, search through the listed events and select the seats you want.
3. Scroll through the listed tickets and decide which one(s) you want to purchase.
4. Once you have decided, click on the ticket and select ‘go to checkout'.
5. You will then be redirected to the seller's website.
6. From here, you will then be able to decide whether to proceed with the purchase or not.

This is the only stage of the process where the ‘legitimacy' of SeatPick can be called into question, as the prices listed on their website rarely match the prices shown on the vendors' websites.

This discrepancy arises because SeatPick does not disclose the additional fees charged by its partners, which can lead fans to feel misled by the platform.

Does Seatpick charge fees?

SeatPick doesn't charge fees itself, but each seller does. You won't find out these fees until you are redirected to a seller's website, and some of them can be pretty hefty, making the overall price of the ticket often hard to justify.

However, once you find a seller whose fees are reasonable, you can keep an eye on their profile and go to them directly if they list anything else of interest.

SeatPick guarantee

Third-party ticket resale websites are often criticised for failing to offer buyers insurance on their purchases. However, SeatPick cannot be accused of that as it guarantees users that all tickets purchased are valid and delivered on time.

If these conditions aren't met, they promise a full refund or a replacement ticket. This guarantee only applies to tickets bought directly from SeatPick; those purchased through partner sites are subject to their own respective guarantees.

SeatPick evaluates each partner website to ensure there are strong safety guarantees.

FGG says: A trusted third-party source

As far as third-party platforms go, SeatPick is one of the most reliable you are going to find. Yes, prices are generally higher than those found during primary ticket sales, but the platform does at least offer some security guarantees.

This reputation also comes from its commitment to customer service and verified ticket listings that help ensure a safe buying experience.

SeatPick offers a valuable solution for securing tickets on the secondary market, particularly for those who miss initial sales windows at official ticketing outlets.

The platform aggregates listings from various sellers, enabling users to compare prices, seating options, and seller ratings all in one place, making it easier to find tickets that suit your preferences and budget.
