Fill A Seat Phoenix

We just renewed for another year and upgraded our membership. I added up the tickets we received and the value of the tickets was almost $ 2,000. We’ve seen plays, Mercury games, concerts and more.
The only frustrating part is when the tickets are for a «hot» show, those are difficult to get. I have been trying now to get tickets to something for the past week and they keep taking it off and adding it back on as sold out. Not sure if they are adding more tickets and they go that fast or just teasing with a sold out show. I check Fillaseat probably 20 – 30 times daily and haven’t had any luck.
Otherwise, extremely happy with our membership.

I bought my membership last month. I was a lil hesitant about it. I tried it for the first time today, and now I can say fill a seat is legit. I reserved 2 tickets for Café Tacvba in phoenix. Picked up my tickets an hour before the concert. No questions asked, I just had to show my ID and the email I got after making my reservation. I paid $ 10 for parking. Just read the restrictions for each event, some times you have to buy drinks but on other events there are no restrictions. I enjoyed the concert, got to pick my own seat. I will reserve more events now that I know how it works. This definitely paid off for the one time membership fee.

I was given specific instructions in writing to «Just present my ID to pick up my tickets», and was presented with a $ 24 fee. I was told that it was part of the agreement, which is not the case.

I love Fill A Seat Phoenix​. I’m on my 3^rd 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!

My wife and I have been members of Fill A Seat for almost two years now, and we love it. We could never afford to be regular attenders of the symphony, ballet, plays, or concerts; maybe a couple of performances a year, within our limited budget – but with Fill A Seat we regularly attend them all! I can’t recommend Fill A Seat enough, to anyone interested in taking in some of the broad range of culture Phoenix has to offer.
There are a couple of venues whose shows we avoid due to mandatory parking fees or drink purchases, but we get more than enough value from our membership without them – and if you’re already used to paying for drinks & parking when you go out, you’ll get even more value from your membership than we do.
The closest thing I have to a complaint is that we have to check the site/​app several times a day (during the season – not much going on in the summer) if we want to be sure we get tickets to the best events; there’s almost never a notification when an event is posted (and when there is, their site sometimes can’t handle the traffic), and sometimes only a few tickets are available, so it’s easy to miss out on a hot ticket. We just make it a part of our normal daily routines, now, and have seen 95% of everything we were interested in over the last year – not a big deal, but something new users ought to be aware of.

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.

A great way to get out to enjoy theater and other events all for FREE once you are a member. Ballet, Concerts, Minor league sports, WNBA and more.

Love Fill A Seat! I’ve attended various events with complete amazement from comedy shows to Opera, Phoenix Symphony, plays and concerts. I’d highly recommend Fill A Seat Phoenix. Cheers***

I wish 2 things: 1) that I could give Fill A Seat zero stars and 2) that before I purchased a membership I’d first checked Unilocal for reviews.
I bought a 6mth membership and what a TOTAL WASTE. You log on every day, hoping there is actually *something* that you’d want to attend besides comedy, comedy, comedy, and OH, MORE comedy! All they ever seem to have available are comedy shows.
My membership is almost up now, and I’ve not had the chance to attend a single, solitary event because nothing attractive ever was available, except, oh yeah… COMEDY.
What a total rip off! They should at least tell you up front what they *actually* do offer.

I really should’ve read reviews and talked to someone before purchasing this. 90% of the events are at Standup Live in Scottsdale, which is an hour drive from me. I went to one there and I was not impressed with the food or the comedians. I also had gone on Stand up Live’s website to get directions, and when I did, I noticed that the show was only $ 10.
So I thought I would stick it out a little longer and see if anything else comes up that I would be interested in. It has now been about 3 months and I have yet to find one other thing in a better venue or that I would like. I did read that they didn’t do refunds, but I figured if they looked at my purchases and saw that I had just signed up and was unhappy they would refund my money. I sent a polite email, and of course they wrote me back that I will not be getting my money. So basically I spent almost $ 100 for a $ 10 comedy show. =(
I hate to do a bad rating, I honestly wish this would’ve worked out for my husband and I. Goodluck.

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.

Got a living social deal for $ 45 which is for 2 seats. From the other reviews I thought it would be a while before I was lucky and fast enough to get some good tickets. I registered yesterday and ALREADY scored tickets to the Phoenix symphony this weekend! Cheapest tickets are $ 70 per person so this is definitely worth it. I’m so excited because we would never be able to afford going to the symphony or ballet or anything like that without this great deal! I really hope I can get tix to the ballet and some musicals as well soon. Wish I registered last week because i saw that there were 4 DAYS of tickets to Arizona ballet last weekend.
Will update after I attend a couple events but I already love this deal!

A couple years ago I posted a review on Unilocal where it remained until I received this message this week. Apparently it had been posted on Fill a Seat’s corporate page in Las Vegas. They have since opened a phoenix page. Since Unilocal didn’t consider the dates of the posting they decided to remove my review stating that it was posted on the wrong site. As a result, I have been forced to waste my time to copy my review and paste it to the Phoenix page. Thanks a lot Unilocal!Here’s the review. Keep in mind it is a couple years old. I hope that filla seat has become more supportive of their customers and is helping to assure the the obligations of the vendor are met. If they are contracting with these vendors, Fill a seat has a responsibility to the customer to assure that the vendor honors the agreement:
Hi there,

I bought 2 Phoenix duet memberships; one for myself and one for somebody else. This has been my experience so far:
Comedy show — local comedians who are repeatedly posted on the site. I’ve seen these tickets elsewhere for free, but usually $ 10 (fillaseat value $ 20 –2 people)
another comedy show — local comedians listed multiple times on the site because they play various venues. (fillaseat value $ 40 — 4 people)
Muay Thai fight (AT THE ARIZONA EVENT CENTER– see the next review!)
— this was a good show, but we were charged at the door. Supposedly the charge was for the $ 10, 1 drink minimum that we never received. Contacted fillaseat who contacted the vendor. Supposedly we were supposed to have received a ticket to give to the bartender. The ticket was never received, thus nobody told us about giving a ticket to the bartender to get the drink. When contacting fillaseat again with that information, I received no response and never received reimbursement of my 20 bucks! Even though the show was good, the fillaseat membership did little to nothing for me except cause me to have to take attitude from the venue. (fillaseat value $ 10 for 2 people — full price was 15)
Piano Concert — I have 2 ticket scheduled for this one. I’ll update after the show.
So far the value received is $ 70. A year membership is $ 150 for a quartet membership and is going up to $ 160. I would need to see a value of over $ 200 to make it worth the hassle, and it would have to be in something other than comedy shows. If I achieve that I will renew. I’ll keep you posted.
Regards,
Hunter
Update in 2015: I did not get value from the membership that would exceed $ 200 and did not renew. If I saw some good reviews that have indicated revised policies I might consider it in the future. I would also need to see a lot better selection in addition the the comedians.

I’ve been a member for almost 5 years now and have absolutely no reason to ever stop paying my annual fee. In fact, I LOVE Fill-​A-​Seat! And yes… while their website is quite antiquated both visually and functionally, don’t let that fool you! The value here is immense! Sign up and you will thank me.
P. S. I would give 5 stars but holding back only a little because their website look, feel and functionality is very dated. The service however (as I mentioned) is tremendous!

We’re still fans of Fillaseat but VERY disappointed that they maintain a relationship with Arizona Event Center. That venue comps tickets for FAS members, then forces them to buy 2 drinks at inflated prices. SCAM. You’d be better off paying the cover — if the «entertainment» wasn’t mediocre.

Complete waste of money. I purchased this membership through groupon and was so glad I did not pay full price. Each time I would visit the site there were only tickets to comedy shows to unknown comedians. The site says things go quickly and unfortunately I do not have the time to sit and watch the website all day so I guess this membership is not designed for me.

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.

If you like a wide variety of events then a membership is likely worth the money.

I used to use fill a seat back in Las Vegas and so when I saw the groupon deal, I was pretty ecstatic. To me, if Phoenix is anything like Las Vegas, then the membership would be so worth it.
I should of read Unilocal reviews! I should of. Darn — I just got too excited. Read the one star reviews about not having good shows and most are comedy shows. Those who have great reviews state that you just have to log on to score the good ones. Ok — so i’ve had my membership for 3 months now and I practically log on every day — probably just as much as I would be logging on to my facebook account and the best I’ve gotten were two comedy shows (one was good and the other, I walked out of after 20 minutes) and a show that I thought was like Chippendales, but so much worse that I walked out of that one too.
I almost feel like Fill A Seat actually owes me money for wasting my time on 1) logging on every day 2) time on going to the shows 3) giving me the false hope that there will be something better — just keep logging on
Do yourself a favor and just spend your money directly to the event that you want to go to — at least you have more of a guarantee that you get your moneys worth.

I’ve been a Fill A Seat customer across 3 cities for the last 3 years. I’m a big fan, if your new to the city many of the tickets it offers are in city centers or points of interest and having a reason to go is a great way to explore. If you’ve lived in your city for awhile you’ll see many of the tickets are in familar places to shows you’d otherwise pay a lot more for.
This is a great service to explore, get value, take dates, and get out without having to spend or figure out too much.
