I just wanted to voice my disappointment with Fill a Seat Phoenix. I also recently came across a livingsocial deal that offers their 1 year membership at a discounted rate and tried doing some research on what shows they offer and the type of events that are regularly available. However, you must pay the fee before you can even look at the event list. I took the gamble and boy do I feel ripped off. All they offer is low end Comedy Clubs, has been performers, and even tickets to events that are found free elsewhere on the internet. Don't waste your time. I feel like Fill A Seat owes me money even when I paid a discounted rate. If they had 0 stars, I would chose that option. read more

I've been trying to find something on Fill A Seat to attend for more than three months now - a big fat nothing! Unless you want to go to a second-rate comedy club, wresting or burlesque shows at some venue out in Mesa. I wouldn't bother buying a membership. Don't know how the other people here have found Phoenix Symphony tickets, etc. I check it a few times each week and have had no luck. read more

I am so disappointed in the new "seat junky", very limited offerings now in Phoenix, UFC fights (no thx), and local improv. Fillaseat used to be great, we got tickets to lots of events like the symphony and theatre plays, but no more. Guess I'm not renewing in 60 days unless things really turn around. read more

I couldn't agree less with the first review. I have been a member of a Fill-A-Seat as well as a member of HouseSeats. In the 9 months I have been a member of Fill-A-Seat, I have received twelve tickets to some amazing performances in theater, symphony, and vocal groups. There have been a lot of other offerings that were of interest to me, but I have an extremely full schedule. The customer service is wonderful, unlike my other subscription. It is very important to check in often and remember that summer is the slow season in Phoenix. At times there have been up to 10 different events offered. Yes, there are comedy clubs offered, but lots of other stuff too! My other subscription usually says nothing available. So, be flexible, be adventurous, try something new and enjoy Fill-A-Seat. read more

Fill A Seat continues to be a fantastic way to see current shows - affordably. In 2014, I saw twenty four different shows ranging from Mozart, Jackie Evancho, Michael Bolton to spending an evening with Kevin Kline. Unlike other reviewers, I only went to one comedy show since Fill a Seat is so much more than comedy. There were never extra costs for the Symphony or the plays or the concerts. Most of my friends have joined so we attend these events in groups which makes it even more fun. The only downside is that you must watch the site frequently because the great shows do sell out quickly. We watch the site and send out texts to each other to reserve the tickets. Yes, I should be keeping this membership a secret since that means more tickets for me but I felt Fill A Seat deserved the recognition for a job well done! Kudos to the Fill A Seat team. read more

I have been a member for 2 years now and I love the program. I have been able to get tickets to sporting events (last year, even a college bowl game!), Concerts, Theater shows, Comedy shows, etc. and all for one low price. The normal price is $80.00 for two for an entire years worth of shows. We have found a Groupon to lower that price to half off! Even if you only go to a few shows all year, you will save money. Not sure what other people are complaining about. What they ever paid for a show before? Going to the movies can cost you $40.00 for two with soda and popcorn! read more

I have had a membership for a few years now and I continue to love it more each time I use it. I am a huge fan of finding cheap fun entertainment for me and my kids. I have had the opportunity to introduce them to the symphony and theater. I have gone to comedy shows, sporting events, concerts, and festivals. I tell everyone I know about it. It's an amazing deal and I will continue to be a member as long as it exists. read more

Joined in January and haven't seen anything decent come by. Mostly comedy shows but those are cheap/free most of the time because they have drink minimums. Waste of money. read more

I joined FAS a few months ago after learning about it from a friend. The offering of tickets to performing arts events is excellent. We have been able to attend Phoenix Symphony, Ballet Arizona and Phoenix Theater performances. All of which have been excellent. read more

I love Fill A Seat! I have been able to see so many great shows and have had first time experiences. It is easy to use and worth the membership! I recommend everyone giving them a try and seeing the variety of shows they are able to get. read more

Although I agree there's too many wrestling/fighting type offerings, we have had some good comedy shows and no drink minimums and been to the Herberger and a small theater by PV Mall and the Ballet and Symphony....I do check several times a day as the more cultural events sell out quickly! But I do feel we've gotten our money's worth and then some as well as gone to some enjoyable venues we wouldn't have otherwise gone to! I'd like more plays and shows so that is why only 4 stars! read more

Weak, Weak, Weak!. Same B.S. comedy shows and venues everyday. And if you do find something you want to see, they make you buy drink tickets at the door. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

I've been with Fill A Seat for a bit over a year now (I just renewed) I love it. I go to shows and events that I would not normally, and with the variety that are offered, you'll probably discover something new and fun yourself if you're patient. Only the comedy shows usually require a 2-drink minimum purchase, but everything else is totally free through the service. One thing to note! Subscribers, please watch your tones and volume when picking up your tickets at the venue! I can't tell you how many times I hear somebody loudly announce something like - "I'm with Fill A Seat" and even mentions of "free tickets" to a ticket person only a couple of feet in front of them. It's in the rules that you're supposed to be DISCREET when picking up your tickets. How would you feel if you just paid $40 or $150 for one ticket and you hear this person behind you get free tickets? read more

I bought a Groupon and unfortunately I have been very disappointed with the events listed. I did try a few events and it seems that the Arizona Event Center has the most events listed as well as some comedy shows, but in my opinion, its not worth it. The Rocky Horror Picture Show put on there was one of the worst experiences of my life. Just want to share my honest opinion of this service, you may have a better experience. read more

I signed up for this membership as a Christmas gift for my husband and we are so happy we got it. We have attended numerous shows and events we never would have gone to if we didn't have this membership. Every event we have attended has been wonderful, we have never had a bad seat so far and we enjoy bringing friends along with us to enjoy the events we attend. I have many friends who had never heard of this membership before and they think it is awesome. I so glad a coworker told me about it and look forward to attending many more events in the future though Fillaseat, i would highly recommend it to others. read more

I love Fill A Seat I have been a member for almost a year and in May I will be renewing. I am a single mother and it really comes in handy due to expenses. I have been to all kinds of events and been able to take my kids to events as well. I have been to comedy shows, dance performances, concerts, among many other things. It really is a good deal. Not only that but the times I have had to contact customer service they have gotten back to me in less than 24 hours with great customer service. read more

I have been a member for almost 3 years. I love it. We go to concerts regularly, they have plays, and now sporting events for free. We went to a game last Sunday and sat in the 12th row center court great game Thanks for making my weekends more enjoyable. read more

I experienced my third event from Fill A Seat this evening. I had tremendous amount of fun and have been creating some awesome memories with family and friends. Thanks Fill A Seat! read more

Don't waste your time on this one!!! I have been a member for 3 months and have not once used it. I do not see how free tickets to a comedy club that require a 2 drink minimum is free tickets. I do not even drink!!! Im not surprised why they don't show you what shows you can see before you make this purchase. I wish that I did not waste my money on this!!! read more

I am very disappointed in this "gimmick". As other readers said, there is nothing but comedy clubs and rage fighting events. The proportion of cultural events to comedy is miniscule. They do not provide the services as advertising. I am filing a complaint with Better Business Bureau. They are difficult to work with. This was a waste of money. I would challenge anyone to let us know how many musical or cultural events they went to over the course of a month or even a year. It can be weeks at a time before anything like this is offered--if ever. read more

WILL NOT PURCHASE AGAIN. This is my second year and it is $$ down the toilet as I should never have picked up the discounted 2nd year. Our first 7 months (thru mid 2013) was great as we went to 5 or 6 events of which all but the comedy club were worth our time. The Phoenix Symphony, a few local theater events, were definitely worth the Fill-a-seat cost. But since mid 2013 we have not gone to another event as they have had just Comedy Club and Cage Fighting events, both of which we are not interested in. The VERY few events that we would like to go to appear to be sold out within hours. I don't have the time to check the site that often...so, again..No more. read more

We were members of fill-a-seat for the past two years, but this year I did not renew our membership to the Phoenix area. Reason? We love the Phoenix Symphony venues and attended every one we could, but it became apparent that we were being 'moved up' as the season continued--and by 'up' I mean from beginning seats on the floor and first balcony, then higher to the second balcony and finally all the way up to the 'nosebleed' seats, even at performances that were not especially well attended and where many vacant rows with better seats were available. The last 6 months have been the worst...the fill-a-seat attendees have definitely been singled out for 'grouping' in the worst seats and are 'guarded' by symphony volunteers. Unfortunately as well, many fill-a-seat attendees are loud and uncouth at the symphony, using cell phones throughout the performance and generally behaving as if they've never been in a symphony hall....which probably is the reason we were relegated to the upper section to begin with! At any rate, we won't be renewing...I'd rather buy 'real' tickets 'and sit where I can hear the music and see the stage. And one more thing--the Symphony is usually the only venue worth attending when you don't care for rage-in-the-cage or bar comedy shows... read more

They have rebranded as seat junky since July 2017. Separating Las Vegas from the rest of the pack. Seat junky in phoenix should be rebranded as junky seats. They don't offer decent events anymore. Mostly UFC fights and third rate standup comedy. At this point I don't recommend joining in phoenix. Hopefully they get better as they rethink their business strategies. Otherwise if this trend continues, I will not be renewing my membership. Also there is no app for seat junky yet. read more

The few who praise this say, "Be flexible, be adventurous!" Well, I'm not flexible enough to go see people hit and kick each other, and comedy clubs are basically nothing but bars. ONE symphony performance, which was excellent, is all I've managed. I'd be interested to know how many tickets were available for some of the decent shows that have all been sold out, because I log in often and miss them all. I will NOT be renewing. read more

Problem is that at least so far the free tickets are to events that give away tickets.The Tempe improv , one of there big vendors constantly calls folks to give away tickets......I expected some better opportunities and maybe they still will come....just not yet... read more

We were cheated by this company. After one year membership, we have never been able to obtain one show we wanted to go. If you contact them via email, they will never help you or refund you the membership fee. You can never receive any real customer service. Don't be fooled by them. read more

We ordered this through Living Social and feel it's definitely not worth it. Got emails of offers of comedy clubs where you have to buy drinks in order to get the "free seats." Also got offers for community college basketball. Nothing else offered of any use. Don't waste your money. read more

The Monica post sounds like a employer premoting fill a seat. I have been so disappointed. I was expecting a variety of shows. Instead mostly cheesy comedy shows, a couple jazz or symphonies, it shows some old time expired concerts but always 'sold out' when I log in..hmmm... And a play here and there once a month or so. Total waste of effort. I've been to 1 comedy show and it sucked! Waiting to go to 1 rage in cage and 1symphony to get my money's worth. read more

I have been a member for a year and a half and have loved it. I got to experience a lot of plays and shows that I never would have even known about. I actually added it all up the other days and I have used 52 tickets at a face value of over 1000.00 since I signed up. I give it two thumbs up. You just have to make sure that you check it every day so you do not miss out. They do go quick! read more

One thing negitive that I do want to add is that at the beatles tribute on 12/27/2013 at the AZ Event Center. My fillaseat confirmation said the event started at 5pm and it actually didnt start till 7pm. I was fine with the 2 drink limit, I didnt need two hours before the show to drink them...annoying. read more

Will not renew. Needs a larger variety and availability of venues. Regular venues include comedy clubs w/a 2 drink minimum, Rage in the Cage & MMA fighting, and womens basketball. I check the website 1-2 times/day, and anytime there is something that I might have been interested in, it is already listed as sold out! There was 1 Coyotes game listed, a concert at Celebrity Theater, and a couple of plays that were "sold out." It always makes me wonder just exactly how many seats they had to begin with? Not many I assure you. ****Sometimes when youb find an interesting venue they will allow you one ticket only (I have a 2 person membership) and you have to purchase an additional one for the 2nd person. Then there was a weight loss clinic that supposedly offered a free consultation so they can get u in there to sell you stuff. The ONE event that I did manage to get tickets for was Chippendales! ;-) read more

Giving away free tickets has been proven time and again to be a bad idea. It usually indicates that a show is not worth seeing and it destroys the bottom line of most companies. If you listen to the promo for this Fill a Seat, they say "Most shows and events do not view locals as their main market." That might be true in Vegas or New York, but what do they think the main market is in Phoenix? So if you enjoy going to crappy shows, then by all means become a member. Otherwise, buy tickets and support your local theater, symphony, ballet, opera etc. They will appreciate that, since they know that locals ARE their main market. Don't be fooled by these marketing shysters. read more

We have had a membership for over 2 years and have attended about 50 different cultural events from symphony, theater, Shakespeare, ballet to modern/contemporary dance performances. The first year we had a 2 ticket membership and the 2nd year we upgraded to a 4 ticket membership, so we could invite others to join us. If we had bought tickets to all these venues, we would have spend well over $5,000. We are extremely happy we are able to do so much on our fixed retirement income. We could not attend these wonderful performances, if it wasn't for Fill A Seat Phoenix. read more

At first I had my doubts about this membership, I thought it would be second rate shows and events, but instead I've been blown away by the shows & events available. My wife thinks I'm a genius for saving us so much money and we go out multiple times a week! After 13 years of knowing each other, we had no idea we could still have so much fun together! We try out new events and shows all the time, that we never thought possible before. Ballets, symphony, MMA fights, comedy shows, concerts and so much more!!! We feel like the first event we went to was worth the membership cost alone, but we have gone to two events per week for a month now and I must admit, I think we got the best steal of a deal with Fill a Seat!!!! We will be renewing every year and giving membership gifts to all our friends! My wife tells everyone we meet about Fill a Seat now, we just can't say enough to truly express what an amazing membership this is!!!!! read more

I love Fill A Seat Phoenix​. I'm on my 3rd year and plan on renewing again. Comedy, great concerts, sports, plays, Symphonies! I upgraded last year to a 4 person membership cause my 8 year old, my adult kids and my friends would argue over who gets to go. Like anything, there are times when not much is going on, but most of the time there are activities at least 2- 3 times per week to go to. I'm really glad I got started. Lots of entertainment for a small investment! read more

don't waste a penny on this scam or their new name 'seatjunky" i'm a long time (soon to be former) member and i've watched the quality of events decline drastically. they keep promising improvement but i don't buy it - and neither should you. check the dates on their few positive reviews, very old read more

If you haven't purchased a membership to fillaseat.com I believe you could find it well worth your while! They continually post offerings from various entertainment venues & tickets that you obtain from them are usually totally FREE!!! I have seen, for instance, tickets to comedy clubs, water parks, expo's, and concerts. We recently attended a concert ...this was a VERY famous act...and because we were able to snag 4 free seats we experienced the privilege inviting some dear friends to attend with us! What a treat! When you become a member, don't be discouraged if you don't see something of interest to you right away. Just be diligent about checking back even a couple times a day if you can...sometimes things get posted and then snatched up quickly! So far we have been able to find some awesome experiences that have been totally family friendly (you do need to observe the event's listing closely though to see the age restrictions that may apply) & that is important to us. read more
