### 1/5 — Unreliable app

*2022-07-01*

The symphony does not promote mobile-friendly tickets well enough to make using this app a convenient or reliable way to obtain digital tickets on the go. The app itself fails to load promptly nor does it show all of the ticket information. Ticket information is also not compatible with Apple Wallet or other apps that are designed to save the tickets for ease-of-use. The parking tickets are not accessible on the mobile app at all. The Symphony needs to seriously consider a new app platform or modification to the existing app to improve its functioning. I can see many people running into the dilemma of not being able to access their tickets upon entry with this app not meeting modern mobile platform accessibility standards. Boo.

### 1/5 — Endlessly bogs down.

*2022-04-23*

The app is terrible. It bogs down between every tap to the tune of 10-15 seconds each time. Ticket info rarely shows up. 

Please fix this app.

### 1/5 — Rarely works - unreliable

*2022-03-31*

Very buggy app. Half the time our tickets don’t show up. Sometimes they are there, sometimes not. Do not rely on this app to get you into a performance you’ve paid for. Print your tickets out. Very unreliable.

### 1/5 — Slow and payment doesn’t work

*2022-03-03*

It’s very frustrating

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Two tickets 40$ extra fees

*2026-01-21*

I don’t understand it will charge extra 40$ service fees for two tickets. Just don’t like it

### 1/5 — The fact that I need this app to access my tickets is a travesty

*2025-08-29*

Just email me my ticket and/or add it to my web account

### 1/5 — Does it work ?

*2025-07-04*

I believe is not easy to fin the option to buy tickets. It has many unnecessary options

### 1/5 — Time to Fire?

*2023-12-28*

Overall SSO management experience terrible. Used to be 1st class. Board members need to do their job and replace the top tier incompetent ones…I used to subscribe to everything. Now hardly any program at all.  Zero stars SSO board.

### 1/5 — Embarrassingly Terrible

*2023-04-02*

Most of the other reviews are spot in. I love and appreciate “our” symphony, but these folks need to hire Ticketmaster or another qualified company to create a useable app. So disappointing and frustrating.

### 1/5 — Needs password save feature

*2023-03-12*

After entering the password, the first time, there is no option to remember, user or safe password. Unless one likes remembering passwords or has a password manager, this renders the app useless for showing the ticket when you get to the symphony, which you would think would be one of the purposes of the app.

### 1/5 — Digital membership card

*2022-11-10*

This has been a frustrating experience.  Your site is not accepting my password and when I was sent account info to help It was absolutely no help. Tried to re-register and the site sent me back saying someone with my email (me) already had an account.

I am getting sick and tired of organizations using digital formats to save themselves money in ways that create obstacles for customers and donors. Why  support any organization which does not value their member and donor’s time!

### 1/5 — A Flashy Veneer over poor functionality

*2022-10-15*

Whoever made the Seattle Symphony app spent their entire budget on high-res graphics and selecting just the "right" shave of magenta, leaving nothing for implementing the sort of functionality and usability needed in such an app. The performance is sluggish, the back button often fails to work, scrolling is often wrongly registered as a tap, and when you do manage to go back to what you were scrolling through, after the spinner finishes (caching, people!) you get back to the top of the list instead of where you were.

Purchasing tickets is less than even an afterthought. Tickets are listed with words ("Founders Tier", "Orchestra B", etc.), with no indication of where in the auditorium those sections are. Furthermore, there seems to be no ability to actually choose which seats in these mysterious section my tickets apply to!

This app is nothing more than a cruel joke. If I could give it zero stars, I would.

### 1/5 — I can’t find my tickets in this app

*2022-10-02*

I have tried to uninstall it but it does not seem to go away. The plan was to reinstall it to see if the issues went away. The magic trick did not work. All I can do is open it again from the App Store, the same version that I am trying to remove.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2022-10-01*

Does not work

### 4/5 — Single purpose….works fine

*2022-03-14*

I got this app for only one purpose….. so I could log in to my account and display the tickets I’ve purchased, to facilitate entry to the hall.  For that, it works like a charm.

### 2/5 — Excellent symphony, terrible business

*2021-12-16*

The symphony itself never disappoints, but the business operation seems to have two modes: “gimme-gimme” or “distrust.”
Believe me, everyone is not out to get you, SS. There isn’t some big syndicate trying to scalp your precious tickets. Venues with budgets an order of magnitude more than yours seem to beable  to treat their customers with respect; learn from them.
We all know that running a business is tough these days and only getting tougher, but begging for more and more money on every page gets bothersome. I’ve given; I gave. I’ll give again, but not every single time I open your app or access your web page. If you can’t run your business, you need to step aside and let someone else do it.
