Authorization Holds and Seller Fees
If your ticket order failed or returned an error at checkout, SeatGeek may still place a 'pending' authorization hold on your card that drops off in 1–3 days.
If you are a ticket seller on SeatGeek, you may be charged if there is an issue with the tickets you listed (e.g., they were invalid or you failed to deliver them).
- Step 1 Check your SeatGeek account under 'My Tickets' to see if there is an active order matching the charge.
- Step 2 If you see a tiny charge like $0.00 or $1.00, it is a card verification test. If unauthorized, contact your bank immediately to secure your compromised card.
How do I contact SeatGeek about a fraudulent charge?
Only use the 'Help and Support' section in the official SeatGeek app or website. Do not call random support numbers found on Google, as they are often scams.
