      Business Response

      Date: 07/19/2022

      Thank you for reaching out to us. We appreciate the opportunity to address the concerns of our valued customer. ********************** operates on the secondary market and maintains one of the largest seller networks in the industry. We operate an independent website and our mission is to connect customers with individual ticket holders and amazing live events. To this end, were committed to providing the best possible customer serviceand maintaining a simple, transparent fulfillment process.  
       
      In this case, tickets for our customer's event were transferred electronically through a third-party platform to the email address associated with the order on 7/9/22 2:28 PM CST. The customer contacted our customer service team regarding issues locating their ticket transfer, at which point our customer care team attempted to assist the customer in accessing their tickets. It should be noted that valid documentation was obtained that confirmed the correct tickets were transferred to the email address provided by the customer at the time of checkout, and as such, the ticket delivery was marked as completed.  
       
      While we understand and regret that the customer may have experienced issues using the third-party platform, Vivid Seats is not associated with any venue or primary ticket market. As such, these issues experienced by the customer were outside the control of **********************. As it presently stands, the customer's order does not qualify for compensation and we consider this matter closed. We appreciate the customer's understanding throughout the matter and if they have any further questions regarding their order, we encourage them to contact our customer care team. 


      Regards, 
      Vivid Seats
